As of April 28, 2011, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security removed all currently designated countries whose nationals and citizens were required to comply with NSEERS (National Security Entry-Exit Registration System) registration requirements.

The NSEERS requirement applied to those students, faculty and staff who have a FIN number on the back/front of your I-94. You will no longer be required to register with NSEERS when you re-enter the United States.

This change applies to all citizens of Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Nonimmigrant nationals and citizens of these countries are no longer required to comply with the requirements of 8 CFR 264.1(f), including the requirement that they exit through designated ports of entry. Accordingly, nationals and citizens from these countries are no longer subject to the NSEERS registration requirement. The program was found to duplicate existing data gathered using more automated systems for traveler entry and exit.
