Abstract

The Department of State (the Department) is correcting a regulation that was amended by a final rule published in the Federal Register on July 14, 2023. This final rule made a typographical error in the immigrant visa classification symbols and incorrectly listed the IB1 classification for "Self-petition Spouse of U.S. Citizen" as "IBI" rather than "IB1." This mistake could cause confusion.
