STATE RIN: 1400-AF77 Publication ID: Spring 2024 
Title: Visas: Immigrant Visas; Removal of a Provision 
Abstract:

Under the draft rule, a visa applicant will not be ineligible under INA 212(a)(2) by reason of a conviction of a crime for which a full and unconditional pardon has been granted by the President of the United States. A legislative pardon, a pardon by the Governor of a State of the United States, or a pardon, amnesty, expungement of penal record or any other act of clemency granted by a foreign state shall not serve to remove a ground of ineligibility under INA 212(a)(2). This rulemaking would also remove references to the effect of a pardon granted by either the former High Commissioner for Germany acting pursuant to Executive Order 10062 or the U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany acting pursuant to Executive Order 10608.
