关于check

As I know there are several kinds of check. [b]1. Check if you submit real documents. [b]2. Check you school. The consul may send fax to your school interantional of [b]fice. [b]3. Check your spouse.(F2, H4) [b]4. Your major or job involves sensitive technology. [b]I will post link and an article about the forth category below. [b]There is one thing I need to remind you: [b]The forth category check is sent to Visa Office, Bureau of Consular Affair, [b]the Department of State. Not INS. Bore you enter the US, you never deal wi [b]th INS. [b]If you want help from US senator, you must have a friend in the US. Anyone [b]is OK. No matter he is citizen or not. The website or email are easy to find [b]online. Just search in Yahoo or google or altavista. Write to the senator. [b]Email may do. If you can persude your boss or school officer to contact loca [b]l senator, that is better. [b]Remember give enough information about you when senator is contacted. Like, [b]what you will do in your job, how it is not sensitive. Better send support l [b]etters from your boss, department and international office. [b]Don't complain. Don't be emotional. It can't help. It may worsen the situati [b]on. Remember be cautious when you try to contact congressman. Don't give fal [b]se information.( one of my friends is on the warning list. Can't enter US an [b]ymore.

It is pro [b]vided to assist international students and scholars in understanding US secu [b]rity concerns. Both international students and J-1 and H-1B scholars may no [b]w be subject to a security check when applying for a visa stamp at a US emba [b]ssy or consulate abroad. Security checks may take 20 work days or more. It [b]is important for international students and scholars in scientific fields t [b]o carully review the following list. If your discipline is on the list, i [b]t is important for your academic advisor and/or supervisor to write a detail [b]ed letter about your studies or research and how it does or does not apply t [b]o this list. If your research or studies DO apply to this list, travel shou [b]ld be scheduled to include a potential one month security check. A letter fr [b]om your department, explaining what you do, can be presented when applying f [b]or a visa and may facilitate the speed at which a visa stamp in the passport [b]can be granted at an American Embassy or Consulate Abroad. Please call 784 [b]-6874 for an appointment at the OISS with a scholar advisor if you have any [b]questions or concerns about travel and application for a visa for internatio [b]nal students and scholars whose discipline is on this list. [b]SUMMARY FOR CONSULAR OFFICERS: [b]This cable transmits the technology alert list (TAL) and provides guidance f [b]or its use in cases that may fall under the purview of in a section 212 (sma [b]ll a) (3) (A), which renders inadmissible aliens who there is reason to beli [b]eve are seeking to enter the U.S. to violate U.S. laws prohibiting the expor [b]t of goods, technology or sensitive information from the U.S. While applica [b]nts from any country (including our traditional allies and trading partners) [b], coming to engage in an activity related to one of the "critical fields" on [b]the list may be ineligible under this section, consular officers should pay [b]particular attention to cases involving nationals of countries on the depar [b]tment's list of state sponsors of terrorism or a region subject to non-proli [b]feration controls identified in the published non-proliferation export contr [b]ol regulations. [b]U.S. laws and regulations prohibit the export of certain technologies from t [b]he in a. section 212 (small a) (3) (A) of the INA renders inadmissible alien [b]s who there is reason to believe seek, to enter the U.S. to violate or evade [b]these laws. That means that with sufficient information. The consular offic [b]er has the power to prevent sensitive technology or material which might inc [b]lude nuclear or biotechnical information from falling into the wrong hands. [b]The technology alert list (TAL) was designed to assist you in this fort. [b]STATE DEPARTMENT RATIONALE: [b]Not since the cold war has the transfer of sensitive technology to hostile i [b]ndividuals or regimes been more in the news. The increasing sophistication o [b]f off-the-shelf technology, dual-use technologies (technologies which have b [b]oth civilian and military applications), lack of sufficient information abou [b]t and controls on foreign students here in the U.S. and recent tensions in t [b]he middle east have combined to renew concern among the law enforcement and [b]intelligence communities that U.S. produced goods and information are vulner [b]able to tht. [b]The TAL was originally designed to help maintain technological superiority o [b]ver the Warsaw pact and was targeted at individuals from the Soviet Union an [b]d other communist countries. In 1966, the TAL was revised to broaden its foc [b]us and rlect more accurately current laws restricting or prohibiting the e [b]xport of goods, technologies, technical data and intangible know-how. These [b]laws are designed to further four important security objectives. [b]--stemming the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missile deli [b]very systems; [b]--restraining the development of destabilizing conventional military capabil [b]ities in certain regions of the world; [b]--preventing the transfer of arms and sensitive dual use items to terrorist [b]states; and [b]--maintaining U.S. advantages in certain militarily critical technologies [b]HOW TO USE THE ALERT LIST: [b]The revised TAL consists of two parts: a "critical fields list" (CFL) of maj [b]or fields of controlled goods and technologies of tech transfer concern, inc [b]luding those subject to export controls for non-proliferation reasons, and t [b]he department's list of designated state sponsors of terrorism. While restri [b]ctions on the export of controlled goods and technologies apply to nationals [b]of all countries, applicants from countries on the list of state sponsors o [b]f terrorism seeking to engage in a commercial exchange or academic pursuit i [b]nvolving one of the critical fields warrant special scrutiny. At first glanc [b]e, the language in the CFL will seem like gibberish. Officers are not expec [b]ted to be versed in all the fields on the list. You should shoot for familia [b]rization and listen for key words or phrases from the list in applicants' an [b]swers to your interview questions. [b]When applying the TAL consular officers should first: [b]--try and determine whether the applicant proposes to engage in one of the s [b]cientific, technical fields listed in tab A. [b]--if the applicant's planned activities raise questions of possible ineligib [b]ility under INA 212 (small a) (3) (A), submit an SAO in the form of visas do [b]nkey. A designator, like the now dunct "comex", is being developed for tec [b]h transfer cases. Until guidance is forwarded to the field, posts should con [b]tinue to use visas donkey.) Please note: an SAO is mandatory in all cases of [b]applicants bearing passports of or employed by states designated as state s [b]ponsors of terrorism (see tab b for list) who seek to engage in a commercial [b]exchange or academic pursuit involving one of the critical fields. [b]--when an SAO is submitted in a 'TAL" case, conoffs [consular officials] sho [b]uld gather and report as much information as possible about the applicant's [b]background, proposed activities, and travel plans. The fectiveness of the [b]name check (and the turnaround time) are directly affected by the completene [b]ss of the information in the SAO. For example: what branch of physics does t [b]he applicant study? Quantum? Nuclear? what is his current position and where [b]does he work? What is the address and phone number of the company (IES) he [b]intends to visit? Who is his point of contact? Who is funding the travel or [b]education? Will he be returning to work in a country which sponsors terroris [b]m or is under sanctions? How does the applicant plan to use the goods or kno [b]wledge acquired? Will he be "exporting" this new knowledge to a hostile nati [b]on? [b]NOTE TO CONSULAR OFFICERS ON "SPLEX", "CHINEX" AND "VIETEX" CASES [b]If an applicant from Russia or China proposes to engage in study or commerce [b]in a field on the tech alert list, conoffs should continue to process them [b]in accordance with existing guidelines, i.e. post-issuance name check cables [b]for Russians (EAGLE SPLEX) and Chinese (EAGLE CHINEX). If, however, you be [b]lieve there is a possibility that an applicant from Russia or China plans to [b]engage in an illegal transfer of technology and may be excludable under (3) [b](a), submit an SAO, using the donkey designator and include the SPLEX and C [b]HINEX designations in the subject line for these cases. Should a Vietnamese [b]applicant subject to VIETEX name check requirements also give rise to tech t [b]ransfer concerns, officers should submit an SAO and include VIETEX in the su [b]bject line.
