The United States Embassy has reiterated that a US visa is a privilege, not a right, and that visa holders are subject to continuous screening even after their visa is issued. This can lead to revocation if individuals engage in activities contrary to US law.

In a statement shared on the embassy's social media platform, it was highlighted that illegal drug use or any legal infractions while on a student or visitor visa could render individuals ineligible for future US visas. This warning aligns with a recent immigration crackdown that took place in Los Angeles.

Furthermore, the embassy has announced new visa restrictions targeting those involved in facilitating illegal mass immigration. The emphasis remains on welcoming legitimate travelers while maintaining a strict stance against illegal practices and visa abuses.
