GAO reported in October 2002 that the Department of State had revoked visas of certain persons after it learned they might be suspected terrorists, raising concerns that some of these individuals may have entered the United States before or after State's action. Congressional requesters asked GAO to (1) assess the effectiveness of the visa revocation process and (2) identify the policies and procedures of State, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that govern their respective actions in the process. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-908T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-908T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-908T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-908T.pdf GAO-03-908T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-908T Testimony GAO-03-908T; Border Security: New Policies and Procedures Are Needed to Fill Gaps in the Visa Revocation Process; Counterterrorism Immigrants Immigration or emigration Interagency relations National preparedness Policy evaluation Identification cards Internal controls Immigration information systems Department of State Consular Lookout and Support System
