INS INTENDS TO REVOKE CERTAIN IRANIAN VISAS
Directors of the INS Service Centers have confirmed to the American Immigration Lawyers Association that they intend to revoke previously approved employment-based immigrant or nonimmigrant visa petitions that would not be approvable under Executive Order 12959. The Service Centers have also indicated that they will deny nonimmigrant extension applications submitted by Iranians in those nonimmigrant categories requiring maintenance of a foreign residence. The Executive Order outlines a boycott on Iranian goods as well as services. The issuance of employment-based nonimmigrant visas to Iranian nationals is considered to be a violation of the rule. If any readers get a revocation notice from the INS, please let me know by e-mailing me at gsiskind@visalaw.com.
