| Title: Entry Requirements for Citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau | |
| Abstract: This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations by adding documentary requirements for a naturalized citizen of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, or Palau (Compact Countries) to enter into, lawfully engage in occupations, and establish residence as a nonimmigrant in the United States and its territories and possessions. This rule also clarifies the documentary requirements for an adopted child from Compact Countries who is immigrating to the United States. Adopted children from Compact Countries are considered immigrants and must follow the standard procedures for immigration and subsequent naturalization. Clarification of these conditions required by the Compacts between the United States and the Compact Countries is necessary in order to continue to allow U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents to adopt children from the Compact Countries. INS will provide a 30 day comment period in order to expedite compliance with the Compacts. This will allow INS to proceed with final rulemaking in a quicker manner so that the agency can clarify the documentary requirements for adopted children from Compact Countries. In addition, the agency's plans to expedite final rulemaking will control the orderly and proper admission of nonimmigrants from Compact Countries into the U.S. | |
