The Trump administration plans to revoke approximately 200,000 non-immigrant visas held by individuals who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status. According to announcements made on Monday, the State Department intends to target B1 and B2 visas issued between the years 2016 and 2026.

This policy shift directly impacts foreign nationals residing in the United States who initially entered on standard temporary visas but subsequently pursued asylum protections. By revoking these specific travel documents, the administration aims to alter the legal standing of a substantial population of asylum seekers currently awaiting processing within the immigration system.
