DHS Final Rule on Establishment of the Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS)
Final rule amending DHS regulations to establish the Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS). This system will allow for the collection of biographic and other information from nonimmigrant aliens who hold a passport issued by an identified country containing a U.S. nonimmigrant visa of a designated category. EVUS may eventually be expanded to include a number of countries and nonimmigrant visa categories. However, the program will initially be limited to nonimmigrant aliens holding unrestricted, maximum validity B-1 (business visitor), B-2 (visitor for pleasure), or combination B-1/B-2 visas contained in a passport issued by the People's Republic of China.
