GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-7569 RIN 1400-AD06 Public Notice 7835 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Bureau of Consular Affairs Interim final rule. This interim final rule becomes effective April 13, 2012. Written comments must be received on or before May 29, 2012. 22 CFR Parts 22 and 42 This rule amends the Schedule of Fees for consular services (Schedule) for nonimmigrant visa application processing fees, border crossing card application processing fees and immigrant visa application processing fees. The rule increases from $140 to $160 the fee charged for the processing of an application for most non-petition-based nonimmigrant visas (Machine-Readable Visas or MRVs) and Border Crossing Cards (BCCs) for Mexican citizens age 15 and over. The rule also provides amended application processing fees for certain categories of petition-based nonimmigrant visas and treaty trader and investor visas (all of which are also MRVs), as well as amended tiered application processing fees for immigrant visas. Finally, the rule increases from $14 to $15 the BCC fee charged to Mexican citizen minors who apply in Mexico, and whose parent or guardian already has a BCC or is applying for one, based on a Congressionally mandated surcharge that took effect since the last adjustment to the Schedule of Fees. The Department of State is adjusting the fees to ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet the costs of providing consular services in light of the recent fee review's findings that the U.S. government is not fully covering its costs for the processing of these visas under the current fee structure.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-28281 RIN 1400-AC86 Public Notice 7391 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, State Department Interim final rule. Effective Date: This rule is effective November 1, 2011.

This legislation provides for sibling adoption to include certain children who are under the age of 18 at the time the petition is filed on their behalf, and also certain children who attained the age of 18 on or after April 1, 2008 and who are the beneficiaries of a petition filed on or before November 30, 2012.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-10077 RIN 1400-AC87 Public Notice: 7426 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, State Department Final rule. This rule is effective April 27, 2011. 22 CFR Parts 41 and 42 This rule changes Department regulations to broaden the authority of a consular officer to revoke a visa at any time subsequent to issuance of the visa, in his or her discretion. These changes to the Department's revocation regulations expand consular officer visa revocation authority to the full extent allowed by statute. Additionally, this rule change allows consular officers and designated officials within the Department to revoke a visa provisionally while considering a final visa revocation.
