DHS Announces New 'U.S. VISIT System' for Travelers as the Department Marks Its First 100 Days

U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Office of the Press Secretary
April 29, 2003
For Immediate Release

Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge announced the launch of the new U.S. VISIT system as he discussed the Department's first 100 days. In a speech in Washington, the Secretary outlined the Department's plan to create a new entry-exit system backed by 21st century technology. The U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indication Technology system (U.S. VISIT) is designed to make entering the U.S. easier for legitimate tourists, students and business travelers, while making it more difficult to enter the U.S. illegally through the implementation of biometrically authenticated documents.

Drawing heavily on developing technologies and scientific capabilities, the system will utilize a minimum of two biometric identifiers, such as photographs, fingerprints or iris scans, to build an electronic check in/check out system for people coming to the U.S. to work, study or visit. The U.S. VISIT system will replace the currently existing NSEERS program, integrate the SEVIS program, and encompass the Congressional requirements of the automated entry exit system.

The U.S. VISIT System is a critical new border security and enforcement tool that will capture point of entry and exit information on visitors. The system will be in its first phase of operation at international air and sea ports of entry by the end of 2003.

What the f--- do you mean, abc?

Yes, Don't go for registration, if u want to the benefits of being out of status/ illegal. U will lose more than what u gain.

the wait for LPR for answer for i130 is atleast 3 years or there and half years


the wait for USC for i130 is 8 months depending on where you send it to . if you send it to vermont and youre married to a USC its most likely 8 months


but again if youre married to LPR its 3 to 4 years

also ... in youre case u will get the first
NOA in 2 months

no need to re-file if you have proof! i takes longer for spouse of LPR than spouse of USC!! there are so many visa's a year allocated for this. how long is the wait? i am no expert, this is just my understanding. post a message to MOHAN OR UMESH! EXPLAIN WHOLE SITUATION,TY

i filed in 2001 and i do have proof of my file being in process from the ins in vermont and i also have a reciept number where i can use that to check the status online ... and you said for me to check if i can refile ?

i didn't understand that ? and if you sent in your i130 last week or something . it will take them atleast 2 months to send you a NOA notice of action . because thats how long it took me

plus if youre married to a LPR or a USC ?

RE: difference of being married to LPR as opposed to USC, remember, I am NO EXPERT! MOHAN AND UMESH KNOW HOW IT ALL WORKS!

Do you have proof of filing? Pending cases should hav no problem! Find out and see if you are allowed to re-file again! I am in the same situation! Just filed last week, all I have is delivery receipt with signature from US Postal Service web site

this means i shouldn't go for registration

i over stayed on b2 visa since 1992
and 2001 i sent my i130 petition because i got marreid in 2000 and 3 weeks ago my wife sent her
citizenship naturalization forms to vermont
this is what i am afraid i am sure i will be detained for overstaying and if i don't go all my paper work will be denied ?

i sometimes feel like . i wish i was not from one of those countries that are wanted for registration

If you call working at the 7-Eleven sinister, who the hell is gonna sell you a SlurPEE? Americans think they are too good for those jobs!

Another a** lumping EVERYONE together because of a few alleged accusations.

I guess this means ALL CATHOLICS are child molesters, right?

Narrow minded dip sh*t!

My guess is that the government wants to bother non-immigrants from these designated countries subject to Special Registration to the point that they will not come to the U.S. anymore. Yet, I think the end result will not be that -- at least the ones that are already here will remain illegally in the country and engage in (even more) sinister activities.

SUMMARY: On August 12, 2002, the Attorney General published a final rule in the Federal Register at 67 FR 52584, to revise the special registration requirements for nonimmigrant aliens whose presence in the United States requires closer monitoring. The final rule requires that when a nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration departs from the United States, he or she must report to an Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) inspecting officer at any port-of-entry (POE), unless the Service has, by publication in the Federal
Register, specified that nonimmigrant aliens subject to special registration may not depart from specific POEs. The requirement for an alien subject to special registration to report to the Service prior to departing the United States became effective on October 1, 2002.

On September 30, 2002, the Service published a notice in the Federal Register at 67 FR 61352 listing POEs through which nonimmigrant aliens who have been specially registered may depart from the United States. This notice provides the public with an expanded list of ports through which nonimmigrant aliens who have been specially registered may depart from the United States. This list is provided in the affirmative as a list of approved POEs to assist the public.

DATES: This notice is effective March 3, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen M. Dearborn, Assistant Chief Inspector, Immigration and Naturalization Service, 425 I Street, NW., Room 4064, Washington, DC 20536, telephone number: (202) 305-2970.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Nonimmigrant Aliens Subject to Special Registration Requirements

Effective September 11, 2002, the Service regulations at 8 CFR 264.1(f) provide that nonimmigrant aliens (other than those applying
under section 101(a)(15)(A), or (G) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(A), (G)) who meet certain criteria are subject to special registration, photographing and fingerprinting requirements. If a nonimmigrant alien who is registered, photographed, and fingerprinted upon arrival in the United States remains in the United States 30 days or more, he or she must report in person to a Service office to provide additional documentation that confirms that he or she is complying with the terms of his or her admission. Whether registered upon arrival in the United States or notified via publication in the Federal Register to report to a Service office for registration subsequent to admission, nonimmigrant aliens who are subject to special registration must be interviewed annually. Upon each change of address and where applicable, each change of educational institution or employment, a special registrant who remains in the United States for 30 days or more must also notify the Service within 10 days of such change.

Beginning on October 1, 2002, when a nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration departs the United States, he or she is required to report to an inspecting officer at the POE through which the alien is departing unless the Service has specified in a Federal Register notice that certain POEs may not be used for departure by special registrants. A nonimmigrant alien, subject to special registration, who fails to report his or her departure to an inspecting officer as required, may thereafter be presumed to be inadmissible to the United States.

On September 30, 2002, the Service published a notice in the Federal Register notifying the public that not all ports may be used for departure by special registrants. In addition, the notice designated those POEs that could be used for final registration and departure by nonimmigrant aliens who are subject to special registration. The purpose of this notice is to expand the list of POEs that may be used for departure by special registrants.

Notice of Where To Report for Final Registration and Departure

Upon registration, whether registered at a POE upon admission to the United States or at a Service office subsequent to admission, each
nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration will be issued an information packet that will list each POE authorized for departue and other instructions on how to comply with 8 CFR 264.1. This packet will also contain specific information regarding hours of operation,
directions and contact numbers.

Due to the limited availability of current resources, specifically departure staff and facilities, the Service must limit the POEs authorized for departure registration to effectively capture departure data. As more POEs become available to examine special registrants upon departure, the Service will designate the POEs by notice in the Federal Register and make the list available at Service offices and on its Web site at http://www.ins.usdoj.gov.



Good Luck!
