Sec. 41.24  International organization aliens.

    (a) Definition of international organization. ``International 
organization'' means: (1) Any public international organization which 
has been designated by the President by Executive Order as entitled to 
enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities provided for in the 
International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669, 22 U.S.C. 288) 
and
    (2) INTELSAT, following privatization, and any successor or 
separated entity thereof, as so designated by section 301 of Public Law 
106-396.
    (b) Aliens coming to international organizations. (1) An alien is 
classifiable under INA 101(a)(15)(G) if the consular officer is 
satisfied that the alien is within one of the classes described in that 
section and seeks to enter or transit the United States in pursuance of 
official duties. If the purpose of the entry or transit is other than 
pursuance of official duties, the alien is not classifiable under INA 
101(a)(15)(G).
    (2) An alien applying for a visa under the provisions of INA 
101(a)(15)(G) may not be refused solely on the grounds that the 
applicant is not a national of the country whose government the 
applicant represents.
    (3) An alien seeking to enter the United States as a foreign 
government representative to an international organization, who is also 
proceeding to the United States on official business as a foreign 
government official within the meaning of INA 101(a)(15)(A), shall be 
issued a visa under that section, if otherwise qualified.
    (4) An alien not classifiable under INA 101(a)(15)(A) but entitled 
to classification under INA 101(a)(15)(G) shall be classified under the 
latter section, even if also eligible for another nonimmigrant 
classification.
