Title: Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended | |
Abstract:
As a result of this rule, a passport and a visa will be required of a British, French, or Netherlands national, or of a national of Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and Tobago, who has residence in British, French, or Netherlands territory located in the adjacent islands of the Caribbean area, or has residence in Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and Tobago if the alien is proceeding to the United States as an agricultural worker. Fraud and security concerns have plagued this geographic area, and the previous rule allowing temporary workers from these countries to enter the United States without a visa presented a vulnerability. Temporary workers from these countries now require H-2A visas to enter the United States. |
