Delegation of Authority for Visa Bond Waivers

    By virtue of the authority vested in the Assistant Secretary for 
Consular Affairs by the laws of the United States, under the Visa Bond 
Program, in 22 CFR 41.11(c)(3), I hereby delegate to the Principal 
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs and the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Visa Services, to the extent authorized by law, 
the authority to waive the visa bond requirement for an alien, country, 
or category of aliens, by determining that such a waiver is not 
contrary to the national interest of the United States. This delegation 
of authority is intended to be implemented to the extent authorized by 
law, including that the authority must be exercised by an Officer of 
the United States.
    The Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs may exercise any 
function or authority delegated by this delegation.
    This Delegation of Authority will be published in the Federal 
Register.

Morvared Namdarkhan,
