Bill overview
This bill modifies U.S. immigration law to create a new category of nonimmigrant status for aliens who are passing through the United States to board a vessel for ship-to-ship liquid cargo transfer operations. It extends the allowable time for these crewmen to land in the U.S. from 29 days to 180 days, provided they intend to depart within that period. The legislation clarifies the definition of ‘nonimmigrant in transit’ and allows for conditional landing permits to facilitate these crucial maritime operations.
