EDUCATION REPORT -October 24, 2002: Foreign Student Series #6: New Security1 System

By Nancy Steinbach


This is the VOA Special English EDUCATION REPORT.

We continue our series of reports about how foreign students can attend a college or university in the United
States. This report is on the Special English Internet Web site, w-w-w dot voaspecialenglish dot com.

Last week, the Education Report discussed changes in the government rules for getting legal permission to enter
the United States to study. Today, we tell about ways the government plans to follow foreign students inside the
country.

One way is by using a new computer security system called the Student and Exchange Visitor Information
System or SEVIS. All schools will enter information about their foreign students into this computer network. The
SEVIS system will go into effect on January thirtieth, two-thousand-three.

SEVIS will link about seventy-four-thousand American colleges, universities and technical schools to the
Immigration and Naturalization Service. It will give the I-N-S and the Justice Department detailed2 information
about each student. The government will be able to tell if the student is attending classes or if the student leaves
school. The government will also use the system to let the schools know that a student has entered the country.
The new rules require schools to tell the I-N-S within thirty days if the student is attending classes.

SEVIS is one of a number of ways that government officials are getting more control over foreign students.
Earlier this year, officials said they may not approve requests from foreigners who want to study some kinds of
science or technology subjects. These include subjects that could provide knowledge about how to make
dangerous weapons. And the Justice Department has begun a new system to follow foreign visitors entering and
leaving the country.

The program involves fingerprinting3 a small percentage of foreign visitors. The fingerprints4 will be studied to see
if they are the same as those of known criminals or terrorists5. The fingerprinted6 visitors also must tell the
government from time to time where they are living and what they are doing in the United States. They must also
let officials know when they leave the country.

Information about SEVIS can be found on the I-N-S Web site. The address is w-w-w dot i-n-s dot g-o-v. Then go
to SEVIS Resources or Special Registration7.
