 <title>Homeland Security: Performance of Information System to Monitor Foreign Students and Exchange Visitors Has Improved, but Issues Remain</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has implemented the
Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to	 
collect and record key data on foreign students, exchange	 
visitors, and their dependents--prior to their entering the	 
United States, upon their entry, and during their stay. In	 
accordance with Conference Report 108-280, GAO reviewed SEVIS.	 
Among the areas it examined were (1) system performance, (2)	 
actions to improve performance, and (3) plans for collecting the 
fee to be paid by foreign students and exchange visitors to cover
SEVIS costs.</abstract>
