Currently,
a large number of nonimmigrant visa applicants remain hostage for months for
not being able to obtain nonimmigrant visas outside of the U.S. Most
typically, these applicants' eligibility for the applied visas was accepted by
the visa posts but pending clearance of law enforcement and authorities,
issuance of the visas have remained on hold.
1)
These are the security clearance that holds issuance
of visas in most cases. The aliens who are subject to this category
requires security clearance related to international terrorism and crimes,
particularly relating to 9/11 incidents. Naturally, the natives, citizens, and
residents or travelers in certain parts of world are primary subjects for this
clearance.
2)
These are the clearance related to protection of American technology and
information for its national defense and national security. Most commonly,
this is regulated by the export control law administered by the U.S.
Department of Commerce.
Currently,
a large number of scientists and engineers who are needed for academic and
nonacademic research institutions in this country are held up abroad pending
this clearance. The academic community in the country, particularly East
Coast, has been suffering from this clearance tremendously.
3)
These are the clearance not related to one of the
foregoing subject, but related to the former Eastern bloc natives, residents
and travelers. Nowadays, Russians are experiencing a tremendous delay in
getting nonimmigrant visas because of this clearance.
Reportedly,
the clearance has been tightened up for the Russians because of report of
increased incidents of frauds involved in employment-based nonimmigrant visas
such as H-1B.
