• Please describe how you conducted the inspection and what transpired, to the best

Changes at DHS.

• What changes do you see on the front line with the new CBP? Facilitation no a
priority; NSEERS - not yet phased out and departure control.

• Are you familiar with National Targeting Center? Yes - hits on a subject, verify
identity - arm twisting. No - can't always get record - need to get answer
approved.

kiosks! US Visit runs quick and doesn't hinder inspection time and people
cooperated. Feel more confident. TECS hit, not biometric.

• Use and value of SEVIS. Yes used. Problem is to get password. Other inspectors
are catching unenrolled students.

• Adequate access to DOS visa via the Consular Consolidated Database. A great
tool!
