INTERESTED GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (IGA)
Each federal government agency listed below has provided the Department with the name of the individual authorized by the
head of that agency to sign letters requesting a waiver of the two-year home residence requirement of Section 212(e) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended. Federal agencies not listed have not provided this information. Agencies making
such requests are required to carefully consider each application. If it is determined to be in the "public interest" that
the exchange visitor remains in the United States, an application may be forwarded to the Department. The Waiver Review Division
will review the application and forward its recommendation to the USCIS.
