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 ANNEX E TO CR-SOP-1 (j) FOR OFFICIAL t.

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.
