OFAC Regulatory Provisions - 31 CFR § 560.505 - Activities and services related to certain nonimmigrant and immigrant categories authorized.

Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.

Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).

Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category). Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] with any questions on search results and efficiency.

Notes:

1) For detailed commentary, refer to General Note on the Immigration-related GLs in the and , and Dealings With Sanctioned Iranian and Syrian Individuals Lawfully Present in the U.S. (System Ed. Note).

2) Note that the pre-2012 (ITR) version of this provision included what is now the U.S. conference at 560.554(a). At the time, it made sense to include that GL in 560.505, because it dealt strictly with what persons ordinarily resident in Iran could do in the U.S. The U.S. conference GL was moved to a separate provision (560.554) presumably due to the addition of 560.554(b), which authorizes the provision of conference-related services to Iranians in third countries. Given that it relates...
