F1 Visa revocation section.

[sonaligc9099]

Hi, 

I was denied to board flight from my home country India to US saying my visa was cancelled. I emailed the Mumbai Consulate about it. They replied after 3 days saying-

This action is based on the fact that, subsequent to issuance of your visa, information has come to light indicating that you may be inadmissible to the United States and ineligible for your visa issuance pursuant to Section 212(a)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. 

I want to understand what is the section they mentioned under INA stands for?

This section is a health related ground of inadmissibility. While each situation varies, Department of State has been - for some time now - revoking visas when someone has an alcohol-related arrest even if there is no conviction for a crime. They do this to compel the individual to go through a screening process - as part of the visa application process - for possible alcoholism.
