Title: ●Period of Admission and Extensions of Stay for Representatives of Foreign Information Media Seeking to Enter the United States 
Abstract:

This rule amends the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS or The Department) regulations to achieve greater reciprocity in the authorized period of stay for certain foreign nationals admitted to the United States in I nonimmigrant status as bona fide representatives of foreign information media. These changes apply to foreign nationals traveling on a passport issued by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Under this rule, DHS will admit aliens in I nonimmigrant status or otherwise grant I nonimmigrant status to aliens only for the period necessary to accomplish the authorized purpose of their stay in the United States, not to exceed 90 days. The rule also allows such visitors to apply for extensions of stay.
