GAO reported in June 2003 that the visa revocation process needed to be strengthened as an antiterrorism tool and recommended that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in conjunction with the Departments of State (State) and Justice, develop specific policies and procedures to ensure that appropriate agencies are notified of revocations based on terrorism grounds and take proper actions. GAO examined whether weaknesses in the visa revocation process identified in its June 2003 report were addressed. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-795/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-795.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-795/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-795.pdf GAO-04-795 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-795 Other Written Product GAO-04-795; Border Security: Additional Actions Needed to Eliminate Weaknesses in the Visa Revocation Process; Counterterrorism Criminal procedure Criminals Immigration or emigration Interagency relations Internal controls National preparedness Passports Performance measures Strategic planning Terrorism Border security Homeland security Timeliness Visas Customs Service/INS Interagency Border Inspection System
