Border Security: Strengthened Visa Process Would Benefit from Improvements in Staffing and Information Sharing
GAO reported in October 2002 that the visa process needed to be
strengthened as an antiterrorism tool and recommended that the
Secretary of State, in consultation with appropriate agencies,
(1) develop a clear policy on the role of national security in
the visa process, (2) create more comprehensive guidance on how
consular officers should screen against potential terrorists, (3)
fundamentally reassess staffing requirements, and (4) revamp and
expand consular training. This report examines State's and other
agencies' progress in implementing changes to the visa process
since 2002, in the areas of policy and guidance; consular
resources, including staffing and training; and information
sharing.
