Between March 2020 and March 2024, the Department of State (DoS) issued more than 12 million nonimmigrant U.S. visas without conducting in-person interviews or collecting fingerprints. At the time, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) frontline officers at U.S. ports of entry conducting inspections were unaware that some foreign nationals had not been fully screened by DoS, thereby missing an opportunity to conduct enhanced screening and inspection prior to admission to the United States.
