In its ongoing anti-immigration move, the US has revoked over 100,000 visas, affecting tourists, international students, and skilled workers.

Marking a substantial uptick from the 40,000 revocations in 2024, the figure reflects stricter enforcement measures under US President Donald Trump’s second term.

Officials from the Trump administration stated that the crackdown is aimed at improving public safety and ensuring compliance with US immigration laws.

“US authorities are increasingly using court and police data to ensure visa holders comply fully with the law,” a State Department official stated.

Who’s affected by ongoing US visa cancellations?

The largest group affected by the current halt in US visa processing comprises those holding B1, B2, and B1/B2 visas, many of whom faced cancellations due to overstays or unauthorised work.

Around 8,000 student visas were revoked, of which nearly 500 were linked to drug offences. 2,500 cancellations impacted skilled professionals, including H-1B visa holders.

The US authorities are also targeting travellers with criminal records, including DUI, assault, theft, fraud, and drug-related offences.

This revocation campaign is part of a stricter policy aimed at improving data-sharing between government agencies.

An executive order signed on Trump’s first day in office allows authorities to cancel visas even after entry. Officials emphasised that visas are privileges, not guarantees, and that even minor violations will no longer be ignored.

Travellers within the US may face deportation, and those abroad are barred from entry. Affected individuals are advised to consult immigration lawyers, review revocation notices, and maintain transparency in future applications. 

King Charles has one big royal seat empty since Meghan Markle has left for America with her family.

Trying to be the fit for this role, Prince Harry’s cousin Lady Amelia Windsor has stepped out to catch attention in black.

The 30 year old was at the premiere of Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, wearing a gown by Percy Langley that was as elegant as it was intentional.

Fashion followers were quick to spot that this wasn’t the dress’s first outing. 

Known for championing sustainable style long before it became a buzzword, Lady Amelia has worn the gown on multiple occasions, reinforcing her belief that true luxury lies in rewearing. 

Whispers are now swirling that she could be stepping into a whole new chapter of her life .

Although neither she nor her rumored partner have confirmed anything yet but according to insider she may soon be engaged to her long-term boyfriend, property developer Ollie Lewis. 

Amelia is currently 44th in line to the throne and has been linked with Lewis for several years, and fans of the couple have enjoyed watching their relationship grow from festival flings to public appearances on major social stages.

Their story first attracted attention at Glastonbury 2023, where the pair were photographed hugging and kissing amid the crowds even alongside her sister Lady Marina and her now-fiancé, Nico Macauley. 

Timothée Chalamet has settled into a spot previously occupied by Leonardo DiCaprio, less than a week after beating him to best actor glory at the 2026 Golden Globes.

The newly stamped winner’s film, Marty Supreme, has surpassed the DiCaprio-starrer One Battle After Another at the box office this week.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the latest news was recorded on Tuesday, with Chalamet’s release “passing up Leonardo DiCaprio’s rival Oscar contender One Battle After Another to end the day with an estimated cume of $72.27 million.”

With the action thriller grossing “slightly north of $71.6 million” at the US box office, the A24 sports drama is currently the highest earner.

Furthermore, despite One Battle being ahead at the global turnover with an estimate of $154.5 million, Marty Supreme is also eyeing competition along the same territory.

“Based on early returns, box office experts believe Marty Supreme could do substantial business overseas and end up north of $170 million to $180 million globally, if not higher,” THR’s report claimed.

Timothée Chalamet’s latest achievement in his Leonardo DiCaprio competition comes just days after the younger star beat his formidable peer at the Golden Globes.

The American-French actor bagged Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy award, defeating the Titanic actor, who was one of his competitors in the same category.
