Not announced yet
The State Department is expected to announce the action in the coming weeks. The plan could still be revised or challenged, and the department says the number remains dynamic.
Who it covers
The reported scope is B1/B2 business and tourism visas issued from 2016 through 2026 whose holders sought asylum, not visa holders or asylum seekers generally.
What revocation means
It would remove business or tourist visa status, but would not necessarily cause immediate deportation. Most people with pending asylum cases would instead be recategorized.
