THE CCUSULATE DESK
1. INTRODUCTION: The Consulate Desk of File Research Branch is
concerned with processing requests for information directly from American
Consulates in Germany and Austria. Also, requests from Central Clearance
Unit, American Consulate, StuOrt, Germany, which handles requests from all
^
other US EMbassies and Consulates. In addition, it services the Canadian and
Australian 'Migration Officer. Normally these requests pertain to persons who
have applied for immigration or visas, and although there are other reasons
for submitting these requests these Offices generally do not indicate ths
reason behind their request - hence alb. are treated identically. (Example
of requests included in Appendix 1 thru 6).
2. REPORTABILITY: Reportable information in response to American
Consulate requests is based'uPon limitations for immigration to the United
States as outlined in Public Law 414. Any information within our files
which would possibly preclude admittance of an individual to the US will
be reported. In any case where reportability is questionable, the best
solution is to report the information and albw:the Consulate to decide
its applicability. All information which is reportable to American
Consulates is also reportable to the Australians and Canadians provided it

SUBJECT: The Consulate Desk.
DID NOT ORIGINATE with an agency OUTSIDE DEPARTMENT CP DEFENSE (DOD) or
with another ALLIED GOVERNMENT. Where derogatory information exists which o
originated with a foreign government or an agency outside the DOD, our reply
will indicate only where it may be possible for the requestor to receive
additional information.
3. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: .011 Canadian requests, the inclusion of
co-subjects will often be found, which necessitates separate replies for all
individuals. Should they both be No Rec,rd or NDI,s, requests should be
stamped following each name on the request, indicating to the requestor that
all subj,..cts have been file checked by this headquarters. Many instances
occur where a CR file check reveala no information regarding subject of
request, but contain information regarding the spouse of subject. This will
be reported. Accurate reporting and evaluation of all information in answer
to Consulate requests is important in order that no applicant for immigra,-
tion or visa to the US, Canada, or Australia will be accepted or denied
because of a wrongly inteypreted reply. Extract from US Public Law 414
included as Appendix 7.
