Can you be able to travel to any of the G7 countries if your USA visa has been cancelled? Can I travel to these countries if I got deported from America following the cancellation of my USA visacancellation of my USA visa?
This is the predicament that one Kenyan has found themselves in. This Kenyan was deported from the USA in December of 2025 after overstaying in the country for one week.
Whereas they claim to have had reasons for their overstay, the US customs and immigration did not consider them, and proceeded to cancel the visa on her passport and initiate deportation.
The same passport, however, has a valid UK visa and a valid Australia visa. Can these be used? This Kenyan posed this question. Here’s what they said:
“My USA visa was cancelled and I was deported due to an overstay of one week in December 2025. My overstay was due to unavoidable circumstances of which USA immigration was not convinced).
I, however, have a valid United Kingdom and Australia visas which I haven’t used to travel. These are all expiring in October of 2026.
I intend to travel to both countries in May 2026 for 3 weeks in each country. Will I have a problem at port of entry considering that my passport has the cancelled USA visa?
Here are some of the responses Kenyans provided:

Have physical proof of the “unavoidable circumstances” that caused the US overstay (e.g., hospital records, flight cancellations).
Also, a one-week overstay in the US is minor, but the deportation is the red flag. UK Border Force officers have the power to cancel an existing visa on the spot if they believe your circumstances have changed or that you didn’t disclose relevant history. – Clinton.

Your passport shows a U.S. visa cancellation due to an overstay, so immigration at the airport might have some concerns or think you could repeat the same thing. But that shouldn’t stop you from trying because sometimes life surprises us, and you never know, maybe your luck will be on your side that day.
And if a little miracle happens and you’re granted entry into the UK, make sure you look for me. I’ll be happy to take you to Nando’s at the O2 arena North Greenwich for some good chicken. – Jungle.

99 percent chance you will have a problem with immigration officers in both countries! if you have been recently deported from the USA.
You have a valid visa, Yes, but be ready to board the next flight home at the airport! Sorry but it’s good to be prepared psychologically and financially as you take your chances on this occasion! All the best! – Sammy.

You can’t be sure. These embassies share information. But just take a risk. – Kenia Esther.

I think some countries like Australia see what is currently happening in US regarding cancelled visas and they may be more understanding and grant you entry. Best wishes to you. – Lwali
