Visa Compliance System

Description

A new secure web-based system that tracks the approval process of the DS-2019 applications and participant information. The Office of Education uses VCS to track the foreign national's entry to, and departure from, the US, their attendance at training/exchange visitor programs, and to obtain the State Department's DS-2019 form in order to apply for a visa for travel to the United States. VCS facilitates data interchange between TraiNet and Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). VCS performs three functions: First, it implements a process to verify data from TraiNet. Second, it translates TraiNet data to the format required by SEVIS and manages its transmission. Lastly, it provides approval management of requests for applications as they move through the workflow process. VCS holds data regarding foreign nationals who receive instruction funded by USAID, whose training will take place in the United States, and to request a J-1 visa for travel to the United States.
