Sec. 41.71  Transit aliens.


    (a) Transit aliens--general. An alien is classifiable as a 
nonimmigrant transit alien under INA 101(a) (15) (C) if the consular 
officer is satisfied that the alien:
    (1) Intends to pass in immediate and continuous transit through the 
United States;
    (2) Is in possession of a common carrier ticket or other evidence of 
transportation arrangements to the alien's destination;
    (3) Is in possession of sufficient funds to carry out the purpose of 
the transit journey, or has sufficient funds otherwise available for 
that purpose; and
    (4) Has permission to enter some country other than the United 
States following the transit through the United States, unless the alien 
submits satisfactory evidence that such advance permission is not 
required.
    (b) Certain aliens in transit to United Nations. An alien within the 
provisions of paragraph (3), (4), or (5) of section 11 of the 
Headquarters Agreement with the United Nations, to whom a visa is to be 
issued for the purpose of applying for admission solely in transit to 
the United Nations Headquarters District, may upon request or at the 
direction of the Secretary of State be issued a nonimmigrant visa 
bearing the symbol C-2. If such a visa is issued, the recipient shall be 
subject to such restrictions on travel within the United States as may 
be provided in regulations prescribed by the Attorney General.
