U.S. Embassy Statement on Visa Revocations
In response to actions taken against protestors on the Maidan in November
and December of last year, the U.S. Embassy has revoked the visas of several
Ukrainians who were linked to the violence. Because visa records are
confidential under U.S. law, we cannot comment on individual cases. We
would like to underscore that the Department of State has broad authority to
revoke visas based on information indicating that a visa holder may be
inadmissible to the United States, and we are considering further action
against those responsible for the current violence.
