Abstract: The Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS) is a new system created by DHS and used to update visa information collected from nationals of specified countries in specified visa categories. The information gathered through EVUS provides a mechanism for CBP/DHS to determine, in advance of travel, continued visa eligibility and whether such travel poses a law enforcement or security risk.

Emergency Justfication: To meet the requirements and intent of the law, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is strengthening the security of the United States through enhancements to the ESTA application, and the Form I-94W. Because the INA, as amended by the VWP Improvement Act, renders ineligible for VWP travel (with some exceptions) any applicant who is a dual national of, or has at any time on or after March 1, 2011 been present in a country that is designated a SST, prompt action to implement the bar is required.
