Does the end of domestic registration mean that there is no longer a 30-day or annual requirement to register?
The 30-day and one-year re-registration requirements were discontinued on December 2, 2003. However, DHS has the discretion to notify the individual foreign visitors subject to NSEERS registration to appear for at least one continuing registration interview to determine whether the foreign visitor is complying with the condition of a nonimmigrant visa status and admission.When a foreign visitor registered under Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) notifies DHS of a change of address or change of educational institution through SEVIS, it also constitutes a notification for the purposes of NSEERS registration.The Department of Homeland Security has determined that the fully implemented, US-VISIT and other new processes being implemented will meet the national security needs that NSEERS previously fulfilled.
