Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act

Résumé

The Department is amending its regulations to add two new nonimmigrant symbols to the nonimmigrant classification table. The amendments are necessary to implement recently enacted legislation. On November 2, 2002, the President signed into law the "Border Commuter Student Act of 2002". This legislation creates two new nonimmigrant visa classifications (F3 and M3) for citizens and residents of Mexico or Canada who seek to commute into the United States for the purpose of attending an approved F or M school. This rule adds these new classifications to the Department's regulatory list of nonimmigrant visa classifications.
