Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and

Nationality Act, as Amended--Place of Application

AGENCY: Bureau of Consular Affairs, DOS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document confirms as a final rule the interim rule

published on January 7, 1998, that establishes the venue for a

nonimmigrant visa application by an applicant whose previous

nonimmigrant visa has been voided due to an overstay of an authorized

period of admission. This

[[Page 36366]]

notice also contains a correction of a citation in the interim rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 6, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: H. Edward Odom, Chief, Legislation and

Regulations Division, Visa Services, Department of State, Washington,

DC 20520-0106, (202) 663-1204.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An interim rule implementing the new

subsection 222(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), and

requesting comments, was published on January 7, 1998 [63 FR 669]. The

period for comments has expired; no comments have been received. The

rule will thus stand as originally published, with a correction of the

reference to INA 214(k) in 22 CFR 41.101(c)(1) which should read

214(l). As there are now two 214(l)'s in the INA, this reference is to

the first one, i.e., the subsection relating to a waiver of the 2-year

foreign residence requirement.

As the final regulation is identical to the interim regulation

other than for the correction of a citation, it is not being reprinted

in full herein.

List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 41

Aliens, Nonimmigrants, Passports, Visas.

In view of the foregoing, the interim rule amending 22 CFR parts 40

and 41 which was published at 63 FR 669 on January 7, 1998, is adopted

as a final rule with the following change:

PART 41--[CORRECTED]

1. The authority citation for part 41 continues to read:

Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1104.

Sec. 41.101 [Corrected]

2. In Sec. 41.101(c)(1), correct the reference to ``INA 214(k)'' to

read ``INA 214(l)''.

Dated: May 20, 1998.

Donna J. Hamilton,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs.
