How do you know if your US visa is cancelled?

How to Check the Status of Your US Visa

If you have applied for a US visa, you can check its status online through the Visa Status Check portal provided by the U.S. Department of State.

Steps to Check Your Visa Status:

1. Visit the Visa Status Check portal: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/StatusCheck.aspx

2. Enter your information: You will need to provide the following information:

   • Passport number
   • Date of birth
   • Visa type applied for (e.g., B-1/B-2 visitor visa)

3. Input the security code: Copy the security code shown on the screen and enter it in the designated field.

4. Click “Submit”: After entering all the required information, click the “Submit” button.

Interpreting the Visa Status:

The portal will display the current status of your visa application. It can be one of the following:

• Issued: Your visa has been approved and issued.
• Processing: Your visa application is still being processed by the U.S. embassy or consulate.
• Refused: Your visa application has been denied.
• Revoked: Your previously issued visa has been cancelled.
• Voided: Your previous visa has been cancelled due to incorrect information or fraud.

What Does a “Revoked” Status Mean?

If your visa status is listed as “Revoked,” it means your US visa has been cancelled. This can happen for various reasons, including:

• Providing false or misleading information on your visa application
• Violating the terms of your visa (e.g., overstaying your permitted time in the US)
• Engaging in criminal or terrorist activities

What to Do If Your Visa Is Revoked:

If your US visa is revoked, you will need to:

• Contact the US embassy or consulate: Inquire about the reason for the revocation and the possibility of reapplying.
• Consult an immigration attorney: Seek professional guidance to understand your options and potential remedies.
• File an immigrant or nonimmigrant waiver: If eligible, you may apply for a waiver that allows you to overcome the visa revocation and reapply for a new visa.

Remember: It is important to check your visa status regularly, especially if you are travelling soon or expecting a visa decision. If you encounter any issues or have concerns about your visa status, contact the U.S. embassy or consulate for assistance.
