    TYPES OF SPECIAL CLEARANCES

    Several standardised Security Advisory Opinion (SAO) requests formats for special clearances, depending on the applicant's nationality and specific circumstances. Most special procedures are triggered by clear and objective circumstances, such as applicant's nationality, place of birth, residence or CLASS name check results. Consular Officers should attempt to identify applicants (of any nationality) whose cases fall under purview of section 212(a)(3)(A)(i)(II) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and involve fields on the Technology Alert List (TAL)

    In general, SAO request type as follows

    (1) A VISA DONKEY or VISA BEAR is a request for the Department's security advisory opinion (SAO). Once a Donkey or Bear SAO request is sent, the post must be suspend all action on the case until a reply is received.

    (2) A VISA EAGLE is a request for a name check by other Washington agencies. Once an Eagle SAO is request is sent, the post must suspend all action on the case until a reply is received.

    (3) A VISA CONDOR is a request for a name check of aliens possessing certain nationalities. Once a Condor SAO request is sent, the post must suspend all action on the case until a reply is received.

    (4) A VISA MANTIS is a request for the Department's security advisory opinion on issues of the illegal transfer of technology. Once a Mantis SAO request is sent, the post must suspend all action on the case until a reply is received.

    (5) A VISA MERLIN is a request for a Department's security advisory opinion on refugees. A Merlin 92 is a request for the Department's security advisory opinion on following -to-join assyles(Visas-92). Once a Merlin or Merlin 92 SAO request is sent, the post must suspend all action on the case until a reply is received.

    (6) A VISA HORSE SAO is an arrrival notice for diplomatic visa holders of certain nationalities, and is sent at the time of visa issuance.

    (7) A VISA PEGASUS is sent for nationals of the Commonwealth of Independencet States (CIS) from posts within CIS who are subject of DPT-00 hits and are travelling to pre-ministerial, ministerial, pre-summit, summit or White House meetings. Pegasus SAO requests are sent at the time of visa issuance.

    (8) A VISAS HAWK is a request sent for name checks on all immigrant visa (IV) applicants over the age of 16 whose petitions are approved at post or by a Department Homeland Security (DHS) office abroad. These name checks are sent directly to the FBI at the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing. The FBI Managment Analyst at NVC will complete the name check through the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and Interstate Identification Index (III) database. Officers must send Hawks by traditional cable method, as SAO-IP is not currently configured to handle Hawk request

    HOW DO YOU PROCESS NECESSARY CLEARANCE REQUESTS?

    a. You must generate clearance requests from within the NIV, IV AND IV/DV systems.

    b. You must refuse applications requiring a clearance request 221 (g) pending the completion of the processing.

    c. Once you submit an SAO request ( with the exceptions of HORSE and PEGASUS), you must wait for the Department's response prior making a final determination. You should follow up on cases that show as pending for more than 60 days by sending and e-mail to SAO Inquires.

    HOW LONG ARE SPECIAL CLEARANCES VALID?

    Special clearance validity is defined as the period of time from the date of a clearance response from the Department to the ending date of the validity. During the validity period, you can issue a qualified applicant one or more visas without having to submit another SAO request. Special clearances are valid for the following periods:

    BEAR-3 MONTHS

    CONDOR-3 MONTHS

    DONKEY-3 MONTHS

    EAGLE-12 MONTHS

    MANTIS-3 MONTHS( or up to 12 months if returning to the same program)

    MERLIN-12 MONTHS

    HOW CAN YOU EXPEDITE A CLEARANCE REQUEST?

    The Department has a limited ability to expedite clearance requests and may not be able to comply with requests to expedite processing. If you need expedited process of a name check or SAO request, you must explain the urgency of the case and provide a tentative itinerary. Urgent cases usually involve medical emergencies, humanitarian concern or United States Government (USG) interest in the traveler's early arrival in the United States.

    NOTE: The national visa center (NVC) does not have the ability to expedite clearance requests. You must send any request for expeditious handling by cable to the department as a Visa DONKEY (or Visa BEAR or Visas MANTIS, when appropiate) for consideration. You should state EXPEDITED REQUEST in the subject line for such requests and limit your requests to those situations outlined above.

    THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES CURRENTLY HAVE SPECIAL CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS:

    AFGHANISTAN, ANGOLA, ARMENIA, AZERBAIJAN, BELARUS, BOSNIA, BURMA, CENTRAL AFRICAN REBULIC, CHINA, CROATIA, CUBA, GAZA, GEORGIA, HAITI, HERZEGOVINIA, IRAN, IRAQ, ISRAEL, KAZAKHSTAN, KRGYZSTAN, LAOS, LIBERIA, LIBYA, MACEDONIA, MOLDOVA, MONGOLIA, MONTENEGRO, NORTH KOREA, PAKISTAN, RUSSIA, RWANDA, SERBIA, SIERRA LEONE, SLOVENIA, SOMALIA, SUDAN, SYRIA, TAJIKSTAN, TURKMENISTAN, UKRAINE, VIETNAM, WEST BANK
