Title: Regulations Pertaining to Battered Aliens and to Mail Order Bride Businesses, as Mandated by IIRIRA 
Abstract: The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) included a number of provisions relating to battered aliens and to mail order bride businesses. The INS anticipates rulemaking in the following areas: INS document No. 1845-97 is necessitated by section 501 of IIRIRA, which provides certain types of public benefits for those aliens who have made a prima facie case for eligibility pursuant to the INS' interim rule on self-petitions by battered aliens, published at 61 FR 13061 (March 26, 1995; INS No. 1705-95). This new rule will define what constitutes a prima facie case. INS document No. 1838-97, an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, is to solicit public input into the regulation of certain functions of the international matchmaking industry (also referred to as "mail order bride businesses"), as required by section 652 of IIRIRA, was published on 7/16/97 (62 FR 38041). .
