According to the department, visas have been revoked from people who overstayed or otherwise violated visa terms, committed crimes, posed national security or public-safety threats, called for violence against Americans, defrauded Americans or abused the US immigration system. The department says visa screening does not end when a visa is issued, with holders continuously vetted to determine whether they remain eligible to enter or stay in the United States.
