These measures include:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Vetting the student\u2019s school. Before they can apply for a visa, international students must be admitted to a school\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.gov\/sevis\/i17\">authorized by the Department of Homeland Security<\/a>\u00a0to enroll people on student visas.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Vetting at the embassy. As part of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crsreports.congress.gov\/product\/pdf\/IG\/IG10039\">visa application process<\/a>, international students are subjected to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fam.state.gov\/FAM\/09FAM\/09FAM030104.html#M301_4_1\">national security reviews<\/a>\u00a0carried out by various intelligence and law enforcement agencies. In some cases, such as when a U.S. consular officer in their home country decides that more information is required from external sources to determine visa eligibility, additional screenings occur. That is done through a process known as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/us-visas\/visa-information-resources\/administrative-processing-information.html\">administrative processing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Vetting upon arrival. When they arrive in the U.S., international students are again screened by a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/travel\/international-visitors\">U.S. Customs and Border Protection<\/a>\u00a0officer. If the officer is unable to verify any information, the student is sent to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/studyinthestates.dhs.gov\/students\/travel\/what-is-secondary-inspection\">secondary inspection<\/a>, a secure interview area where the student waits while officers complete additional assessment. The student is then either admitted to the U.S. or forced to depart the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ongoing monitoring while in the U.S. If permitted to enter the country, students must enroll full time, earn good grades and notify their school within 10 days of substantive changes to their circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Examples include a change to their address, academic major or financial sponsor. And school officials are required to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.gov\/sevis\/dso-requirements\">report this information to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program<\/a>, part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u2019s National Security Investigations Division.<\/p>\n<p>Students participating in temporary, postgraduation training programs must continue to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/studyinthestates.dhs.gov\/sevp-portal-help\/maintain-information\/opt-student-reporting-requirements\">comply with reporting requirements<\/a>.
