THE US embassy has warned visa holders in TT to beware of their conduct and not take their visa for granted.

In a post to social media on November 23, US embassy, Port of Spain. visa chief Mike Mitchell said, "Breaking US laws have serious consequences for visa holders. If you are arrested or violate any laws, your visa may be revoked, you may be deported, and you could be ineligible for future US visas. Follow the rules and don't jeopardise your travel. A US visa is a privilege and not a right."

Mitchell's comments came two days after Fishermen and Friends of the Sea corporate secretary Gary Aboud revealed that his US visa was revoked. Aboud speculated that the visa cancellation was owing to his criticism of the US missile strikes on suspected drug boats in the Southern Caribbean and Pacific.
