50 U.S.C. § 47c — Aliens; waiver of admission requirements

submitted 71 years ago by ch. 372 to r/title-50-WAR-AND-NATIONAL-DEFENSE · 93 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a foreign national gives information that leads to a reward under section 47b, three officials can jointly decide to let that person into the country. If they agree it serves the public interest, that person and their immediate family can get immigrant visas. They can move to the United States permanently, even if normal immigration rules would say no.

This section covers a special immigration benefit. It applies when a reward under section 47b of this title is earned based on information that came from a foreign national ("alien"). In that case, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Director of Central Intelligence — acting together — may decide that letting that person into the United States serves the public interest. If they make that decision, the foreign national and their immediate family members may receive immigrant visas. They may then be admitted to the United States for permanent residence, even if the normal requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act would otherwise block them.
