Start →9 FAM 504.104 FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM) NOTIFICATION 9 FAM 504.104(A) Notification Requirement (CT:VISA1; 11182015) (Previous Location: 9 FAM 42.73 PN11; CT:VISA1174; 03312009; 9 FAM 40.11 N15(a) CT:VISA2319; 08272015) Section 644 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), Public Law 104208 (8 U.S.C. 1374), requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with the cooperation from the Department of State, to notify visa recipients of the severe harm to physical and psychological health caused by Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The DHS regulations require that written notice be given to immigrants in countries where FGM is a common practice. 9 FAM 504.104(A)(1) All Posts Required to Post FGM Notice (CT:VISA1; 11182015) (Previous Location: 9 FAM 42.73 PN11.1; CT:VISA2275; 04102015; 9 FAM 40.11 N15(b)in part.; CT:VISA2319; 08272015 in part) All posts must display the Fact Sheet on Genital Mutilation in the Nonimmigrant Visas (NIV) and/or IV waiting room. The Fact Sheet should be displayed in the the local language so that applicants from countries where FGM is practiced will have notice that this practice is illegal in the United States. See 9 FAM 504.10 4(A)(3) below for information on translating and reproducing the notice. 9 FAM 504.104(A)(2) Requirement to Provide Copy of FGM Notice (CT:VISA1; 11182015) (Previous Location: 9 FAM 42.73 PN11.2; CT:VISA2319; 08272015) IIRIRA 664 (8 U.S.C. 1374) allows DHS and the Department to target visa recipients from countries where FGM is a common problem. Posts should provide a copy of the notice to IV recipients in the countries listed below. At the time of interview, consular officers at posts listed below should provide one copy of the notice to each family receiving an immigrant visa. List of Countries Where FGM is Prevalent: Benin Burkina Faso Cameroon Central African Republic Chad Cote d'Ivoire Democratic Republic of the Congo Djibouti Egypt Eritrea Ethiopia Gambia Ghana Guinea GuineaBissau Iraq Kenya Liberia Mali Mauritania Niger Nigeria Senegal Sierra Leone Somalia Sudan Tanzania Togo Uganda Yemen List of Posts to Provide Applicant With Fact Sheet on Genital Mutilation: Abidjan Accra Addis Ababa Asmara Baghdad Cairo Cotonou Dakar Dar es Salaam Djibouti Freetown Kinshasa Lagos Lome Monrovia Nairobi Niamey Ouagadougou Sana'a Yaounde 9 FAM 504.104(A)(3) Downloading FGM Notice From the Website (CT:VISA1; 11182015) (Previous Location: 9 FAM 42.73 PN11.3; CT:VISA2319; 08272015t: 9 FAM 40.11 N15(b&c)in part.; CT:VISA2319; 08272015) a. Amharic, Arabic, English, French, Swahili, and Somalian versions of the Fact Sheet on Genital Mutilation are available on travel.state.gov. Posts should print out a copy of the notice and reproduce it locally. Posts are authorized to use their MRV allotment or fund site if needed to cover local reproduction costs. b. If the appropriate local translation is not available, posts may also create their own notices in the dialects of the country that they serve. These additional translations may be posted upon request. 9 FAM 504.104(B) Public and Host Government Reaction (CT:VISA1; 11182015) (Previous Location: 9 FAM 42.73 PN11.4; CT:VISA1174; 03312009) The social and political sensitivities surrounding FGM in many countries may prompt public or host government reaction to the FGM notice. Posts should draw on the following talking points when responding to any complaints or comments: (1) The United States law makes it illegal to perform or allow others to perform FGM in the United States on persons under the age of 18 for other than medical reasons. The law also requires that persons receiving visas be advised of this fact, and of the medical and psychological damage caused by FGM. (2) Providing this advice could prevent individuals from doing something in the United States that could result in their becoming subject to criminal prosecution. This is particularly important because people who have grown up in societies where FGM is deeply rooted may erroneously assume that they can follow their customs in the United States. (3) We realize that in countries where the practice is common, FGM is deeply rooted in social traditions and culture. We nevertheless believe that FGM is a serious violation of a woman's rights and should be eradicated through education efforts and legislation making the practice of FGM illegal. (4) The United States is committed to working with other governments and local community organizations, both in the United States and other countries, to educate people about the serious damage FGM inflicts on women and girls. The practice of FGM is now illegal in the United States, and we believe strongly that persons immigrating to the United States or visiting from countries where FGM is prevalent should be aware of this fact. 9 FAM 504.105 ISSUANCE OF NEW OR REPLACEMENT VISAS 9 FAM 504.105(A) Issuing Replacement Visa During Validity of Original Visa (CT:VISA30; 12292015) a.
