Bill overview
The Student Visa Security Improvement Act aims to strengthen the security of student visas and improve oversight of foreign students in the United States. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to conduct more thorough background checks on student visa applicants, including in-person interviews and on-site reviews, with a particular focus on potential terrorist links. The bill also mandates that institutions actively monitor student visa holders, reporting any changes in their status or participation in the program. Finally, it enhances access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System for institutions and provides for a review of program fees.
