Visa Integrity Preservation Act of 2024
This bill requires in-person interviews with consular officers for certain non-citizens seeking visas who are currently unlawfully present in the United States. It amends immigration law to explicitly include these individuals under the category requiring such interviews. The key mechanism adds a new provision (subparagraph G) to the existing interview requirement, specifying that applicants who are inadmissible due to prior violations (under sections 212(a)(6) or (9)) must attend an in-person interview. This directly affects non-citizens who entered or remained in the U.S. without authorization and are applying for visas. The bill does not create new inadmissibility grounds but modifies the interview process for this specific group.
