█│║▌║││█║▌│║║█║ “Pilots & The INA 221(g) Visa Denial” By Glenn R. Morales Dalrymple The C1/ D visa allows foreign airline pilots, as well as ships’ captains and crew members, to enter the U.S. and stay there temporarily so that they can carry out their professional duties. This does not mean, however, that their visas are always easily renewed without any sort of consular problems and sometimes the visas can be rejected in accordance with different Immigration and Nationality Act sections The criteria observed by U.S. Consulates around the world for first visa applications or renewing C1/D visas are pre-established by strict norms that govern the process from the very moment that the applicant fills in his/her visa application and the act of the consular interview. The renewal of some foreign pilots’ visas are delayed and they are required to fill in an additional questionnaire and respond to the Consulate’s inquiries, either because they are not permanently employed by a single commercial airline, or because they have not been able to do the “Simulator Training ” in the U.S.. American Consulates abroad must adjudicate C1\D ~ B1\B2 visas in accordance with the provisions of the law and may draft optional refusal letters to the foreign pilot applicant. After visa C1\D ~B1\ B2 issuance by the American Consulate, “new ~sorpresive~ external information surfaced” could potentially affect the final eligibility for this visa. There are cases in which the U.S. Immigration officials at a given U.S. airport or other port of entry decide to revoke someone’s valid visitor visa because they find an entry-hit in the info electronic system. There are sometimes confused situations, in which the person whose visitor visa has been revoked, has never really been involved in any of the offences either in the U.S. or in any other part of the world. The long waiting periods that many people have to suffer to be able to settle their cases of rejected visa applications, in accordance with different INA sections ( INA 221(g), INA 214(b)), can cause them a great loss of time. Keep in mind that Information regarding C1\D ~B1\B2 visa applications and rejections are protected from disclosure under the Immigration and Nationality Act and the U.S.C.. █│║▌║││█║▌│║║█║ “Pilots & The INA 221(g) Visa Denial” By Glenn R.
