Section 217 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, extends the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP) to nationals of all countries that qualify under the provisions of the Pilot Program and which are designated by the Secretary of State and the Attorney General as countries whose nationals benefit from the waiver of the nonimmigrant B-1/B-2 visa requirement. This interim rule eliminates probationary entry status in the pilot program, designates Ireland (the only country formerly designated as a participating country with probationary status) as a permanent participating country and extends the VWPP to Slovenia.
