Title: Eligibility Checks of Nominated and Current Designated School Officials of Schools That Enroll F and M Nonimmigrant Students and of Exchange Visitor Program-Designated Sponsors of J Nonimmigrants | |
Abstract:
ICE’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) protects national security by ensuring that DHS and DOS have essential data related to (F & M) nonimmigrant students and (J) exchange visitors. This rule would improve vetting of designated school officials (DSOs) and responsible officers (ROs), who are responsible for ensuring that ICE has access to accurate data on covered individuals via the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). By requiring DSOs and ROs to undergo an eligibility check, the rule would help DHS intervene in and prevent potential criminal activities or threats to national security that may result from non-compliance by DSOs & SEVP-certified schools or ROs & Exchange Visitor Program (EVP) sponsors. The rule would also ensure that SEVP has the necessary enforcement and accountability mechanisms built into the SEVIS to safeguard U.S. security interests. |
