WTS Extended Option Year for Visa Security

WTS will continue to support Section 428 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 enabling DHS to assign staff to consular posts abroad to advise, review, and conduct investigations into visa applicants. Called the Visa Security Program, ICE now deploys agents to U.S. embassies and consulates in high-risk areas worldwide to conduct security reviews of visa applications. ICE agents assigned to VSP examine visa applications, initiate investigations of applicants who may be ineligible for a visa, coordinate with other law enforcement entities, and provide advice and training to the State Department personnel involved with visa applications.
