  • DHS/ICE/PIA – 001 Student and Exchange Visitor Program

    The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) was established as part of the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) National Security Investigations Division (NSID) within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). SEVP oversees the certification of academic and vocational schools to allow enrollment of foreign nationals seeking entry into the United States as nonimmigrant students under F and M classes of admission. In addition, SEVP tracks and manages real-time information on F/M/J nonimmigrant students, their dependents, and the schools and sponsors that host these nonimmigrants, to ensure compliance with immigration laws and regulations. To facilitate the program’s work, SEVP collects, uses, shares, and maintains personally identifiable information (PII) on nonimmigrant students, their dependents, and the school officials who work with SEVP for the school certification process. Finally, SEVP works with the other Components within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other federal agencies to ensure compliance with all civil and criminal immigrations laws that align with HSI’s national security and public safety missions.

This review sought the advice and input from the men and women charged with implementing the policies, as well as the ideas of a broad range of stakeholders and Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle. Our assessment identified the following ten areas where we, within the confines of the law, could take action to increase border security, focus enforcement resources, and ensure accountability in our immigration system.
