US Immigration Policy Overhaul Takes Effect with 250,000 Visa Revocations

October 1, 2026 • 2 hours ago •

WASHINGTON: Major changes to United States immigration policy are now in effect as of October 1, following the Trump administration’s intensified scrutiny of foreign nationals. The State Department has reported the revocation of over 250,000 visas since President Trump resumed office, citing various alleged violations.

The new federal fiscal year introduces significant alterations impacting green card applicants, visa holders, and non-citizens receiving government health benefits. Among the changes are the reopening of certain employment-based green card categories, stricter eligibility criteria for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) recipients, and enhanced social media screening for visa applicants.

The State Department indicated that the visa revocations stem from a range of issues, including breaches of visa conditions, criminal activities, fraud, misuse of the immigration system, and national security concerns. Approximately 2,300 visas were revoked in cases involving serious allegations.

As these changes unfold, they are expected to have far-reaching implications for foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States, potentially affecting the labor market and international relations. Stakeholders are closely monitoring the situation for further developments and potential legal challenges.
