U.S. national security remains a primary concern in the visa application process. All visa types undergo thorough security screening, which includes checks against law enforcement and counterterrorism databases. Visas are not issued until all security screenings are completed. This measure is aimed at preventing travel for individuals who may pose a threat, thereby ensuring the safety of U.S. citizens.
Security vetting does not end with the issuance of a visa. Visa holders must adhere to U.S. laws and immigration regulations or face possible revocation of their visas and removal from the country.
In addition, the U.S. government has initiated a coordinated interagency effort to tackle fraud and curb illegal migration. Individuals found guilty of committing visa fraud will face permanent bans from entering the United States.
