WR Immigration News Digest
“One-Strike” Policy Increases Risk for Visa Holders The State Department has announced a new “one-strike” immigration policy: any legal violation by a temporary visa holder (including H-1B, F-1, and B-1/B-2) may now result in immediate visa revocation. This shift expands enforcement beyond serious criminal cases to include any breach of law. Impact: Global mobility teams should prepare for heightened scrutiny, increased RFEs, and potential disruptions to work authorization. Proactive employee communication and close coordination with counsel are critical.
