Bureau of Consular Affairs; Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended; Photograph Requirement

الملخص

The Department has replaced the Burroughs visa with a machine- readable visa (MRV). Since the MRV displays a digitized photo of the visa recipient, the Department is amending the nonimmigrant visa regulations to require all applicants for nonimmigrant visas to present photographs. The regulations are also amended to allow photographs of persons wearing head coverings, provided that enough of the face is uncovered so as to establish identity.
