US-VISIT Program

When you enter the United States after traveling abroad, the U.S. CBP official processing your entry will use an inkless fingerprint scanner to read your index finger print. The official will also take a digital photograph of you. Together with the standard information gathered about your identity and travel, US-VISIT will verify your identity and compliance with visa and immigration policies.  Race, national origin and religion are not factors in the US-VISIT program, as it applies to ALL non-immigrant visa holders.

Canadian nationals (except those entering in E or K status) are not subject to US-VISIT.
