granted admission to the United States from under-represented countries.

What's interesting about this year's change is that all applications are
now submitted electronically. Included with each application is a JPEG
photo of the person submitting the application.

subject to privacy concerns. Now that the data is being submitted
electronically, one can only imagine how the data may be abused.

"We'd be happy to mail them to the CIA if they wanted," Dickens said.
"They're not of particular use to us."
