Scheinbar müssen Green Card Inhaber ab Mitte Januar bei der Einreise eventuell auch Fingerabdrücke scannen und ein Foto machen lassen:
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) established the
United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program
(US-VISIT) in 2003 to verify the identities and travel documents of
aliens.
Aliens subject to US-VISIT may be required to provide
fingerscans, photographs, or other biometric identifiers upon arrival
at the United States. Currently, aliens arriving at a United States
port of entry with a nonimmigrant visa, or those traveling without a
visa as part of the Visa Waiver Program, are subject to US-VISIT
requirements with certain limited exceptions.
This final rule expands
the population of aliens who will be subject to US-VISIT requirements
to nearly all aliens, including lawful permanent residents. Exceptions
include Canadian citizens seeking short-term admission for business or
pleasure under B visas and individuals traveling on A and G visas,
among others.
(...)
DATES: This final rule is effective January 18, 2009.
