Abstract:
Congress and the Administration should improve the visa issuance system by creating a risk management system to separate low-risk applicants from high-risk applicants; defining more clearly the roles of consular officers, visa security officers, and other personnel involved in the visa review process and enhancing their training; expanding the Visa Security Program; and establishing a visa ombudsman authority.
