The State Department announced that it has implemented the new C-4 and D-3 visa classifications for noncitizens traveling to join vessels engaged in foreign trade and lightering activities.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The new visa classifications, proposed under the Energy Security and Lightering Independence Act of 2022, amend the C and D visa categories of the Immigration and Nationality Act. “This will end the need for individual grants of parole for members of these important crews to ensure they are able to properly transport vital energy supplies into and out of the U.S. without overburdening the administrative process,” said U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who co-authored the 2022 bipartisan bill with U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).
