Visa waiver program to use biometrics
The Department of Homeland Security will begin using a combination of “behavior, biography, biometrics and travel history” as it decides which passengers to admit into the country using the U.S. “visa waiver” program.
The program enables citizens from certain countries to enter without visa applications. The U.S. will begin implementing the changes starting in August. There are currently 27 countries whose citizens are not required to obtain visas for U.S. entry. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/thirdfactor-4.gif)
