MuleSoft Anypoint Platform

The scope of work for this effort is to provide renewal of software licenses and support for the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has been established as part of the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) National Security Investigations Division (NSID) within Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). SEVP is responsible for delivering Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) an Internet-based application that facilitates timely electronic reporting and monitoring of international students and exchange visitors (EVs) and their dependents in the United States. SEVIS enables schools and program sponsors to transmit electronic information to DHS and the Department of State (DoS) throughout a student s or EV s program in the United States. SEVIS is intended to improve customer service by streamlining the application and adjudication processes. It also addresses deficiencies in the current student and schools system process by providing information technology solutions and modifying business processes. SEVIS allows schools to submit school certification applications, update certification information, submit updates to the DHS that require adjudication, and create and update F 1 (academic) as well as M 1 (vocational) student and dependent records. DHS Managers and Adjudicators have the capability to adjudicate updates made to school records using SEVIS, and Principal Designated School Officials and Designated School Officials (P/DSO) are notified through SEVIS of the adjudication results. SEVIS allows program sponsors to submit certifications forms for J 1 visa program, creating program designations, and updating program designation information. DoS personnel have the capability to adjudicate information submitted by Responsible Officers and Alternate Responsible Officers (R/AROs). A/AROs are notified through SEVIS of any adjudication results. SEVIS shares information with other systems to better monitor the status of a student or EV throughout their stay in the United States. This allows SEVIS to meet requirements of the Unifying and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act (Public Law 107-56 passed on October 26, 2001). Among other things, the PATRIOT Act stated that for each non-immigrant for whom information is collected under the IIRIRA Section 641, the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of State, will include information on the date of entry and Port of Entry (POE). The MuleSoft AnyPoint Platform will be an integral part of the SEVP s new Information Sharing module. Each endpoint will be designed, built and managed via the Anypoint Platform removing the need for developers to write code custom each time a consumer requires a different encoding framework or a new version of an API needs to be released.
