Technology Alert List

If your field of study or research might be considered a "sensitive" field that has direct or indirect military application(s), you should read and understand the information related to the Technology Alert List ("TAL") IF you will be applying for a new visa at a US consulate overseas. Application of the TAL during the visa application process will lead to a security check, and inherent delays in obtaining the US visa. However, not all visa applicants are subject to the TAL.

You may read the handout linked below and/or discuss your specific situation with your OIE advisor during a scheduled appointment.

See the Technology Alert List: Information for Department Advisors and Supervisors.
