You may also sign up for email alerts on the online docket to be notified when comments are posted. I. Background In 2004, the Department discontinued the domestic renewal of non-diplomatic nonimmigrant visas primarily because of the passage of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–173), which required that U.S. visas issued after October 26, 2004, include biometric identifiers 1 (69 FR 35121). Then, as now, the State Department did not possess the capacity to collect fingerprints in the United States, so all non-diplomatic visa applicants were required to apply for new visas outside of the United States where fingerprints can be collected at a U.S. embassy, consulate or, for certain posts, at an offsite contract facility. For purposes of implementing this pilot, however, those prior concerns are overcome, as participation in the pilot is limited to individuals who have previously submitted fingerprints in connection with the application for the prior visa, are eligible for a waiver of the in-person interview requirement and meet other applicable requirements. The 1 In 2004, the Department, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, determined that biometric identifiers should include two fingerprints and a photograph (69 FR 78515). In 2010, the standard was changed to ten fingerprints and a photograph (75 FR 39323). Certain individuals under the age of 14 and those age 80 or over are exempt from the fingerprint requirement.
