Immigration Advisory Program

The Immigration Advisory Program (IAP) is a pilot program developed by the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection that places teams at European airports to prevent undesirable people from traveling to the United States.[1] The program is based on the Immigration Security Initiative of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service. It was appropriated $2,000,000 in fiscal year 2005.

Since 2004, IAP inspectors have made more than 1,000 no-board recommendations for high-risk or inadequately documented passengers, which equate to approximately $1.6 million in cost avoidance associated with detaining and removing passengers, and $1.5 million in potential savings to air carriers.[2]
