1400-AD96 201610 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1400 Department of State STATE Visas: Classification of Immediate Family Members as A, C-3, G, and NATO Nonimmigrants

This rule amends the definition of immediate family for purposes of A, C-3 (aliens in transit under INA 212(d)(8)), G, and NATO visa classifications in two ways:  (1) it revises the requirements for unmarried adult sons and daughters age 21 or older to be eligible for these visa classifications, and (2) clarifies for purposes of G-4 visa classification that the international organization employing the principal alien determines which immediate family members the international organization will recognize as part of the family for the purpose of benefits.  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.
