Abstract
Overstays and the perceived threat of mass migration because of liberal immigration policies are among the most pressing concerns for nations, capturing the attention of everyone from heads of state to entry-level consular officers. As the first line of defense for immigration control, consular officers frequently prioritize identifying potential overstay risks when adjudicating visa applications, even among otherwise qualified applicants. This focus highlights the speculative nature of consular officer training, visa denials, point-of-entry interviews, and the broader legal framework governing immigration policies.
