VISA Waiving Program changes
Upvote:1
From United States Begins Implementation of Changes to the Visa Waiver Program, the new restrictions apply to:
Nationals of VWP countries who have traveled to or been present in Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria on or after March 1, 2011 (with limited exceptions for travel for diplomatic or military purposes in the service of a VWP country).
So the new restriction appears to apply to anyone who has traveled to those countries since March 1, 2011.
However, this page also says:
Under the new law, the Secretary of Homeland Security may waive these restrictions if he determines that such a waiver is in the law enforcement or national security interests of the United States. Such waivers will be granted only on a case-by-case basis. As a general matter, categories of travelers who may be eligible for a waiver include:
- Individuals who traveled to Iran, Iraq, Sudan or Syria as a journalist for reporting purposes;
It is unclear at this point how one might actually apply for such a waiver, or whether such a procedure might be any easier than simply applying for a normal visa.
