Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, an alien whose prior nonimmigrant visa has been voided pursuant to INA 222(g), who is applying for a new nonimmigrant visa, shall make application at a consular office which has jurisdiction in or for the country of the alien's nationality unless extraordinary circumstances have been determined to exist with respect to that alien as set forth in paragraph (c) of this section.

(d)Definitions relevant to INA 222(g).

Public Notice: 9638
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, State Department
This final rule is effective on December 7, 2016.
This rule amends the definition of immediate family for purposes of A, C-3, G, and NATO visa classifications in two ways: It revises the eligibility requirements for unmarried adult sons and daughters age 21 or older for these visa classifications, and clarifies for purposes of G-4 visa classification that the international organization employing the principal alien must recognize an individual as immediate family to be eligible for derivative U.S. visa status. Furthermore, this rule permits qualified immediate family members of A-1, A-2, G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 nonimmigrants to be independently classified as NATO-1, NATO-2, NATO-3, NATO-4, NATO-5, and NATO-6.

Public Notice: 9530
This Final rule is effective on November 29, 2016. The Department of State will accept comments until December 19, 2016.
The Department of State is coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security on instituting a requirement for nonimmigrant aliens who hold a passport issued by an identified country containing a U.S. nonimmigrant visa of a designated category to provide required information to DHS after the receipt of his or her visa of a designated category.
81 FR 12050 - Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended
FR Doc. 2016-05136
Public Notice: 9458
Comments must be received on or before May 9, 2016.
The Department of State proposes to reinstate a temporarily suspended amendment to its visa regulations to clarify procedures for waiver of documentary requirements due to an unforeseen emergency for nonimmigrants seeking admission to the United States.
81 FR 7454 - Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended
FR Doc. 2016-02962
RIN 1400-AD17
Public Notice: 9439
This correction is effective on February 19, 2016. Written comments must be received on or before April 4, 2016.
The Department of State published a Federal Register interim final rule on February 4, 2016, in Volume 81, No. 23, page 5906. The document contains an error in the Regulatory Findings. This document corrects the rule by replacing the text, “included elsewhere in this edition of the Federal Register ” with “published in the Federal Register on February 8, 2016, 81 FR 6430.” There is also a correction in the ADDRESSES section, to provide the correct public notice number to find the rule to submit comments on www.regulations.gov.
81 FR 5906 - Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended
FR Doc. 2016-02191
Public Notice: 9428
This rule is effective February 19, 2016. Comment period: The Department will accept comments until April 4, 2016.
As a result of this rule, a passport and a visa will be required of a British, French, or Netherlands national, or of a national of Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and Tobago, who has residence in British, French, or Netherlands territory located in the adjacent islands of the Caribbean area, or has residence in Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and Tobago, if the alien is proceeding to the United States as an agricultural worker. In light of past experience, and to promote consistency of treatment across H-2A agricultural workers, prudent border management requires these temporary workers to obtain a visa along with most other H-2A agricultural workers. The previous rule allowing temporary workers from these countries to enter the United States without a visa presented a vulnerability. Temporary workers from these countries now require H-2A visas to enter the United States.
