LOTTERY WINNERS FROM EMBASSY BOMBING COUNTRIES TO GET PROCESSING EXTENSION
The US House of Representatives and the US Senate have approved legislation to extend into fiscal year 1999 the visa processing period for diversity applicants whose visa processing was suspended during fiscal year 1998 due to embassy bombings. Lottery winners must complete processing of their cases in a single fiscal year. The Senate passed the bill on October 21st and, as of press time, the President had not yet signed the bill. But he is not expected to oppose the measure. A summary of consulate closures is included in our August issue which is archived on our web site at http://www.visalaw.com.
