On December 9, local time, the US State Department said that since January, 85,000 visas of various types have been revoked. According to reports, more than 8,000 of these were student visas, and the number of revocations was double that of the previous year. US officials said the move was due to security concerns. Furthermore, in recent weeks, the US government has strengthened the scrutiny of H-1B and other visa applicants. The US government also announced last week that it will suspend immigration applications from 19 countries.
