established by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to meet
specific legislative mandates intended
to strengthen border security, address
critical needs in terms of providing
decision makers with critical
information, and demonstrate progress
toward performance goals for national
security, facilitation of trade and travel,
and supporting immigration system
improvements. US–VISIT represents a
major achievement in creating an
integrated border screening system that
enhances our nation’s security and
efforts to reform our immigration and
border management systems. Through
US–VISIT, DHS is increasing our ability
to manage the information collected
about foreign visitors during the preentry, entry, status management, and

conduct better analysis of that
information, thereby strengthening the
integrity of our immigration system.
