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.
