Has anyone heard about DHS cancelling tourist visas for people who overstayed in the US last year during peak pandemic times? I filed for my parents extension when they were here in 2020, but due to long wait times it never got approved. WE got a notification for their finger printing and next steps only after they left (11 months stay), hence the extension was never approved or denied.

I did not hear a single case of this from people who filed timely extensions. I heard some cases where people overstayed without filing extensions had their visas cancelled.

Happened to a friend's parents. They overstayed in 2021. I think they had valid visa then but stayed more than 6 months. They recently applied for visa extension and it was rejected.
