[ADVISORY] U.S. IMMIGRATION AND VISA DEVELOPMENTS

The Philippine Embassy advises Filipino nationals in the United States to remain informed of recent developments in U.S. immigration and visa policies and to ensure compliance with applicable U.S. immigration laws.

Recent reports indicate that the U.S. Department of State has begun reviewing B1/B2 business and tourist visas issued to foreign nationals who subsequently applied for asylum in the United States, with visa revocations expected to be undertaken on a rolling basis.

Filipino nationals who have concerns regarding their current immigration status are strongly encouraged to consult a qualified U.S. immigration attorney or an accredited legal service provider for advice appropriate to their individual circumstances.

The Embassy reminds the Filipino community that immigration cases are determined by the appropriate U.S. authorities based on the circumstances of each case.

For emergency consular assistance and Assistance-to-Nationals (ATN) concerns, Filipino nationals may call 202 368 2767 or 202-769-8049, or send an email to [email protected].
