UkuThengiswa koLwazi lokuSebenza kwabaThuthi

I-TWIC ikhishwa yi-TSA njenge-ID yokungeniswa kokungeniswa kwezichweba

Ukugcinwa kweNgcaciso yoMSebenzi wezothutho (TWIC) ikhutshwa nguThutho loKhuseleko loThutho (TSA) njengenkcazo yokwazisa ngokuqhelekileyo kubo bonke abasebenzi abafuna ukufikeleleka kokungenakunyulwa kwiindawo zokungena kwii-harbor, kunye neenqanawa ezilawulwa phantsi koMthetho woKhuseleko loThutho lwaManzi ka-2002 ( I-MTSA), kunye nabo bonke abalobi beentengiso zabarhwebi base-US Coast Guard.

Nabani na umntu ofuna ukufikelela ngaphandle kwezi ndawo kufuneka afake isicelo sekhadi le-TWIC. Oku kusebenza kubemi base-US kunye nawuphi na umntu ofuna ukufikelela ngaphandle.

UkuThengiswa koLwazi lokuSebenza kwabaThuthi

Imbali ye-TWIC ibuyele emva kokusungulwa kwe-MTSA, eyamiselwa ukuqinisa ukhuseleko lolwandle kunye nokukhuselwa kolwandle. Umthetho we-MTSA uqaliswe njengenxalenye yohlolo lokukhusela emva kweemeko zikaSeptemba 11, 2001.

Ngo-2009 bonke abasebenzi abafuna ukufikelela ukungena kwiindawo zokungena kwii-harbor okanye ezinye izithuthi zokulawulwa phantsi kwe-MTSA kwakufuneka bafake isicelo baze bafumane iConnential Identification Identification Identification (TWIC). Ikhadi le-TWIC liqukethe i-credential resistantant credenti equkethe i-biometric yomsebenzi ukuvumela ukuba unxibelelwano oluhle phakathi kwekhadi kunye nomntu ngamnye.

Ikhadi ngalinye le-TWIC liqukethe inombolo ye-Federal Agency Smart Credential Number (FASC-N) kwi-chip edibeneyo yesekethe.

I-FASC-N ibonisa kuphela idilesi nganye ye-TWIC. Xa ikhadi lifundwa ngumfundi wekhadi, i-FASC-N yenye yeengcezu zolwazi umfundi ofumana kwikhadi.

Ulungelelwaniso lokuThengiswa koBasebenzisi bezothutho

Abemi baseUnited States kunye nabanye abasebenzi abaneemimiselo ethile yokungena kwamanye amazwe angafaka isicelo sekhadi le-TWIC.

Ngokomzekelo, abasebenzi base-US abangenzi iinkonzo zamanxweme e-United States kwaye bafuna ukufikelela kwiindawo ezikhuselekileyo zeendawo kunye neenqanawa banokufaka isicelo kulolu hlobo olutsha lwe-B-1 visa, olujoliswe ngokukhethekileyo kwinkqubo ye-TWIC.

Bonke abafake izicelo kwikhadi le-TWIC kufuneka banikeze ngolwazi lwe-biographic kunye ne-biometric-ngokomzekelo, iimpawu zeminwe-umfanekiso wezedijithali, kwaye uphumelele ngempumelelo uvavanyo lwezokhuseleko olwenziwa yi-TSA. Uvavanyo lubona inkolelo, ukugwetyelwa kwamaphepha kunye nokunyanzelwa kwamatyala athile kunye nolunye ulwazi lomvelaphi.

TWIC Ukungafaneleka

Abanye abasebenzi banokungagqibekanga ngokusisigxina ekufumaneni ikhadi le-TWIC ukuba batyala inecala lolwaphulo-mthetho olubandakanyekayo, okanye ukuthutha okungalunganga kwezinto eziyingozi , kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho olunzulu olunjengokubulala, ukusongela ibhokhwe kunye nezigwenxa ezinkulu.

Abafaki-sicelo abaphikisiwe kwi-TWIC baya kwaziswa ngesizathu sokwenqaba kwaye bangafaka isicelo sokubhena okanye ukuyeka. Abanye abasebenzi abenza isicelo sekhadi le-TWIC bangafanelekanga ngexesha elithile. Inani leephene ezithathwa njengento engathí sina, ezifana nokuphulwa kwamanye amazwe, ukukhwabanisa kunye nokungena ngobuqhetseba kwinqanawa, kuya kunqanda umenzi wesicelo ixesha elithile, kunokuba kubekho isigxina.

Imiba kunye neCandelo lokuCelwa koLwazi lokuSebenza kwabasebenzi bezothutho

Kukho imicimbi ethile neprogram ye-TWIC ukususela ekuqaleni kwayo. Ekuqaleni, ngo-2006 bekukho ukuxhalabisa kwi-Ofisi yoGunyazo kaRhulumente (GAO) malunga nokuba i-TSA ibonelele ngokufanelekileyo ngokweenkqubo ze-TWIC.

I-GAO ikholelwa ukuba i-TSA ayinanto yokongamela ngokufanelekileyo kunye nokulungelelaniswa okungafanelekanga kunye ne-maritime shishini. I-TSA ijongene nale micimbi ngokuqeshwa kwabasebenzi beeprogram zongeziweyo kunye nokusekwa kweengxelo zenyanga kunye ne- marine industry.

Kodwa ngowama-2007 i-GAO ifumanise ukuba i-TWIC ibenomdla kunye nabafundi bekhadi, kunye nokungabikho kwesicwangciso sokujongana neendleko nokuphunyezwa kwenkqubo. Enye ingxaki ephakanyisiwe emva kokunye kwamakhadi e-TWIC yokuqala.

• NgoNovemba ka-2011 i-TSA ikhishwe isaziso esikwazisa abanini bamakhadi ukuba ii-chips ezidibeneyo ze-circuit (i-ICC) malunga nama-26,000 amakhadi e-TWIC ayifakwe ngokungafanelekileyo kwaye ayengasebenzi kunye nabafundi bekhadi le-TWIC.

• Umba ubangelwa yimpazamo yeprogram yemveliso yekhadi.
• Inani labalinganiswa kwi-FASC-N kwi-TWIC elithile lancishisiwe, elikhokelela kubafundi bekhadi ukuba bangaqapheli ikhadi njenge-TWIC evumelekileyo.

Imizuzu yee-TW

Ngomhla wama-2013 inani lamakhadi okuza kuhlaziywa kwabangela ukulibazisa kwinkqubo ekhokelela kubanini bamakhadi bejonga ukuba amathuba abo amakhadi aphela ngaphandle kokufumana ikhadi elitsha. Oku akukona nje ingxaki kubaphathi bekhadi le-TWIC, kodwa kubaqeshi babo kunye namachweba asebenzayo, kuba akunakwenzeka ukuhambisa umqhubi ongenayo ikhadi le-TWIC.

Abaqeshi bacela abasebenzi abangaphantsi kweenyanga ezine ngaphambi kokuphela kwamakhadi abo ukuqhuba ukuhlaziywa ukuqinisekisa ukuqhubeka. Ngokuqinisekileyo, le ndlela ikhulisa inani lokuvuselelwa okufunyenwe yi-TSA kwaye kubangela ukuba kubekho ubunzima kwinkqubo. I-TSA ibonise ukuba abanini bekhadi le-TWIC bangafaka isicelo seminyaka emithathu yoNyaka ophelileyo wokuphela (i-EED) i-TWIC.

I-EED TWIC yinkqubo yokwandisa okwethutyana yodwa yenzelwe ukubonelela ngokulula kubasebenzi ngaphambi kokuthunyelwa kwabafundi be-TWIC. Nangona kunjalo, abanikazi be- TWIC abangabemi base-US okanye abahlali base-US kufuneka babhalise iminyaka emihlanu yokutshintshwa ekupheleni kwe-TWIC yabo yangoku.
