The CIA and the FBI
No doubt you have heard a great deal about the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). These agencies exist to investigate very specific criminal activities. However, the chances of any foreign student actually encountering agents of either of these agencies is extremely remote. The only federal agency responsible for enforcing the laws and regulations governing the presence of nonimmigrants in the United States is the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). In addition, you are individually responsible to the Internal Revenue Service for the payment of your federal taxes. If you are contacted by any other federal agency for any reason, consult your foreign-student adviser about your rights and responsibilities.
