The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has spent and continues to invest hundreds of millions of dollars each year in its U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program to collect, maintain, and share information on selected foreign nationals who enter and exit the United States at over 300 air, sea, and land ports of entry (POEs). The program uses biometric identifiers (digital finger scans and photographs) to screen people against watch lists and to verify that a visitor is the person who was issued a visa or other travel document. GAO's testimony addresses the status of US-VISIT entry and exit capabilities and DHS's management of past and future efforts. In developing its testimony, GAO drew from eight prior reports on US-VISIT as well as ongoing work for the committee.

The Visa Waiver Program, which enables citizens of participating countries to travel to the U.S. without first obtaining a visa, may present security, law enforce., and illegal immigration risks. In 2007, Congress passed legislation that allows the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) to expand the program to additional countries whose nationals¿ applications for short-term bus. and tourism visas were refused previously. Countries must also meet certain conditions, and DHS must first complete and certify a number of required actions aimed at enhancing the security of the program. This testimony focuses on one of these required actions -- namely, that a system be in place that can verify the departure of 97% of foreign nationals who depart through U.S. airports. Ill.

The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has established a program known as U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) to collect, maintain, and share info., including biometric identifiers, on certain foreign nationals who travel to and from the U.S. DHS is to develop and submit an expenditure plan for US-VISIT that satisfies certain conditions. This report: (1) determines if the plan satisfies the 12 legislative conditions; and (2) provides observations about the plan and management of the program. To accomplish this, the auditor assessed the plan and related DHS certification letters against each aspect of each legislative condition and assessed program documentation against fed. guidelines and industry standards.

Each year, millions of visitors come to the United States legally on a temporary basis. Overstays are individuals who were admitted legally on a temporary basis but then overstayed their authorized periods of admission. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 required the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a plan to accelerate implementation of a biometric entry and exit data system that matches information provided by foreign nationals upon their arrival and departure. Since 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has tracked foreign nationals' entries into the United States, and since December 2006, a biometric entry capability has been fully operational at all ports of entry. However, the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) has identified a range of challenges that DHS has faced in its efforts to deploy a corresponding biometric exit capability. DHS's U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is primarily responsible for implementing a biometric exit program. This book addresses DHS's efforts to review its records to identify potential overstays; the extent to which DHS's changes in its systems or processes have improved data on potential overstays and DHS's ability to report overstay rates; and the extent to which DHS has made progress toward establishing a biometric exit system.
