b. (U) Legal Authority:
Section 140(c) of Public Law 103-236 (Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
FY-94 and 95, as amended) (8 U.S.C. 1182 note) states the following about visa
processing:
(1) (U) Whenever a consular
officer issues a visa for admission to the United States, that official shall
certify that a check of the automated visa lookout system, or any other system
or list which maintains information about the excludability of aliens under the
Immigration and Nationality Act, has been made, and that there is no basis
under such system or list for the exclusion of such alien.
(2) (U) If, at the time an
alien applies for an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa, the aliens name is included
in the Department of States visa lookout system and the consular officer to
whom the application is made fails to follow the procedures in processing the
application required by the inclusion of the aliens name in such system, the
consular officer's failure shall be made a matter of record and shall be
considered as a serious negative factor in the consular officers annual
performance evaluation.
