As announced in an HLG immigration alert,
after July 16, 2004 the State Department will discontinue its visa
revalidation program in order to comply with biometrics requirements of
the PATRIOT Act. The discontinuance of the revalidation program will
negatively affect foreign nationals as they will begin to experience long
delays at the consulates. Corporate clients may also find it difficult to
plan foreign travel for their employees. If you would like to send a
letter to Tom Ridge requesting that they maintain the revalidation
program, please click on the link below for a sample in a Microsoft Word
format.
