Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:
Rajiv S Khanna, managing attorney at Immigration.com, said his firm has seen a marked rise in revocation notices issued by the US Department of State (DOS), often delivered abruptly by email. The impact is felt most acutely by F-1 students and H-1B workers.
The change in tone is a cause for worry. Earlier notices typically clarified that while the visa stamp was revoked, the individual could continue to stay in the US in valid status and would only need a new visa if they travelled abroad. “The practical impact was limited and inconvenient, but manageable. If you didn’t travel, life went on,” said Khanna
According to Khanna, recent notices explicitly state that cases are being reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “This is a fundamentally different situation and is a potential pathway to removal proceedings,” he said.
The real risk is triggered the moment a person leaves the country, as re-entry would require a fresh visa application, which almost inevitably draws heightened scrutiny and typically a bleak chance of approval. “However, with DOS now reporting these cases to ICE, visa holders may face removal proceedings initiated by ICE even while they remain in the US,” said Khanna.
