US-VISIT Adjusts Ports of Entry and Exit Posted Sep 03, 2004 ©MurthyDotCom The Directorate of the U.S. Border and Transportation Security (BTS) issued Federal Register Notices on August 20, 2004 and August 26, 2004 to correct the entry and exit ports for the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT). US-VISIT ports were most recently addressed in our August 6, 2004 MurthyBulletin article, US-VISIT Exit Procedures begin at Additional Ports, available on MurthyDotCom. ©MurthyDotCom The August 20, 2004 Federal Register Notice added six ports of entry to the US-VISIT program: Albany International Airport, NY; St. Petersburg / Clearwater International Airport, FL; Port Everglades seaport, FL; Andrews Air Force Base, MD; New York City seaport, NY; and Port Canaveral, Terminal 10, FL. In addition, the Notice deletes Agana International Airport (Agana, Guam) and McCarren International Airport (Las Vegas, NV) from the list of exit ports, and replaces those ports with the Seattle / Tacoma International Airport, WA and Ft. Lauderdale / Hollywood Airport, FL. Though the August 20, 2004 Notice also deletes Alfred Whitted Airport in St. Petersburg, FL, and the seaport in Jacksonville, FL, from the list of air and seaports that are collecting data under US-VISIT, the August 26, 2004 Notice adds the Jacksonville, FL seaport back to the list since its omission was an error. ©MurthyDotCom Under the US-VISIT program, visitors and immigrants (other than U.S. citizens) are required to provide fingerprinting, photographs, or other biometric identifiers upon entering or departing the United States at land and seaports of entry / exit. The goal is to increase our security and monitor those traveling in and out of the United States. © The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C.
