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 the United States, lawfully engage in occupations, accept employment, 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. Without clarification of the documentary requirements for an adopted child from the Compact Countries, the Compact Countries may not consent to the adoption of children by U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.
