Should international students and scholars expect problems
during inspection at the port of entry to the United States? To ensure a
smooth process, many seek answers to a variety of questions and concerns. These
include potential inspection or confiscation of electronic devices, requesting
access to personal social media accounts, their legal rights during the
inspection process, and access to legal counsel.
What information can you give them, and how can you
help? In this NAFSA e-Learning Seminar, we’ll address these questions; review
the applicable laws and regulations; and discuss the role and scope of
authority of U. S. Customs and Border Protection.
Learn from experts, including an immigration attorney who
is the current chair of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Liaison Committee. Steve Springer,
NAFSA’s director of regulatory practice liaison, will provide background
information; discuss the problems that NAFSAns are seeing; offer tips for
informing students and scholars; and address NAFSA’s related liaison efforts.
