VISAS: Passports and Visas Not Required for Certain Nonimmigrants

This interim rule extends the Visa Waiver Pilot Program to September 30, 1996 and creates a new probationary status for certain countries which meet the requirements for that status under the Visa Waiver Pilot Program and which are designated by the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, acting jointly, as countries whose nationals benefit from the waiver of the nonimmigrant B-1/B-2 visa requirement. The extension of time for the Visa Waiver Pilot Program applies to those countries already in the program as well as to any countries which may be designated thereunder in the future. A statistical analysis was made to determine which countries could become visa waiver pilot countries with probationary status. As a result of that initial analysis it has been determined that Ireland, currently, is the only county which meets the criteria set forth for such countries.
