House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlattesaid Saturday that immigration officials did a poor job reviewing the financée visa application of Tashfeen Malik, one of the shooters in the San Bernardino, Calif., rampage that left 14 dead.

Goodlatte said he reviewed the application and found there was insufficient evidence to prove Malik and U.S. citizen Syed Rizwan Farook, had met in person — a requirement for a foreign national seeking a K-1 financée visa before being allowed entry into the U.S.

"Visa security is critical to national security, and it's unacceptable that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did not fully vet Malik's application and instead sloppily approved her visa," Goodlatte, R-Va., said in a statement.

The application contained a statement by Farook that he and Malik had met in Saudi Arabia and copies of pages from their passports showing both had stamped entry visas into Saudi Arabia in 2013 that were written in Arabic.

The immigration official reviewing Malik's visa application to the U.S. requested translation of the stamps into English to confirm the pair was in Saudi Arabia at the same time, however they were never provided, Goodlatte said.
