What it means
This order removes a specific provision from a 2012 Executive Order about visa processing goals. It directs the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to revise their implementation plan accordingly.
Expected impact
- Potential changes to how visa applications and foreign visitor processing are handled, which could affect tourism and business travel to the United States
- Gives the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs more flexibility in visa processing procedures
- May alter processing times for international visitors seeking to enter the United States
