Online Verification Of Student Visas

The Homeland Security Department has reshuffled its priorities in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. Secretary Janet Napolitano says it will move ahead on a program for online verification of student visas. Digital verification of U.S. visitors has been in development for a decade, but now the student segment will deploy around June 1. NextGov reports, DHS has been working on the system more intensively for the past several months. Before Boston, it had been planning on leading with a system to check foreigners with arrest records.
