US-VISIT: Keeping America's Doors Open and Our Nation Secure

US-VISIT is a top priority for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security because it

• Enhances the security of our citizens and visitors
• Facilitates legitimate travel and trade
• Ensures the integrity of our immigration system
• Protects the privacy of our visitors

US-VISIT is part of a continuum of security measures that begins overseas and continues through a visitor’s arrival in and departure from the United States.  It incorporates eligibility determinations made by both the Departments of Homeland Security and State.  

US-VISIT is helping us demonstrate that we remain a welcoming nation and that we can keep America’s doors open and our nation secure.
