United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT) - Authority to Collect Biometric Data From Additional Travelers (US Department of Homeland Security Regulation) (DHS) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT) - Authority to Collect Biometric Data From Additional Travelers (US Department of Homeland Security Regulation) (DHS) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Technology Program (US-VISIT), an integrated, automated entry-exit system that records the arrival and departure of aliens; verifies aliens' identities; and authenticates aliens' travel documents through comparison of biometric identifiers. On January 5, 2004, DHS implemented the first phase of US-VISIT by publishing an interim rule in the Federal Register at 69 FR 468. The January 5, 2004 interim rule authorized DHS to require aliens seeking to be admitted to the United States pursuant to nonimmigrant visas to provide fingerprints, photographs, or other biometric identifiers upon arrival in, or departure from, the United States at air and sea ports of entry. This interim rule expands the US-VISIT program to the 50 most highly trafficked land border ports of entry in the United States. These 50 land borders will be integrated into the US-VISIT program following identification in Notices published in the Federal Register, with all 50 ports of entry to be identified no later than December 31, 2004.
