National Academy of Sciences
 
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has developed a page on its web site to collect detailed information about international scientists experiencing significant visa delays. This could prove useful to staff still trying to cope with the many changes in protocol brought on by the SEVIS student-tracking system and the enhanced security of the U.S. VISIT program. NAS says it will transmit the information it receives to the State Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP).
