Visas: Nonimmigrant Classes: Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program Visitors, Q Classification

This rule removes from the existing interim regulation on the issuance of visas in the Q-2 nonimmigrant visa category the requirements for qualification of a program participant in the Irish Peace Process Cultural and Training Program (IPPCTP) to be considered by the Program Administrator. It also adds new requirements pertaining to the content of the certification letter needed by an alien in order to obtain a visa in the Q-2 category as a participant in the IPPCTP. The existing interim regulation was published on March 17, 2000. The establishment and operation of the IPPCTP was originally published on March 17, 2000. That interim regulation is also being republished, with changes elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. These changes in the rule are being adopted as a result of a review of the IPPCTP conducted by the Departments of State and Justice during the program's initial program year. The changes are intended to distinguish the responsibilities of consular from those of the Program Administration of the IPPCTP.
