2025.02.24 DOS: Guidance for Visa Adjudicators on Executive Order 14201 "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports"
Media sources obtained a copy of a cable that Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued on February 24, 2025 laying out the process for assessing visa eligibility for transgender female athletes attempting to come to the United States for women's sports competitions. Section 6 of the memo requires that “all visas must reflect an applicant’s sex at birth” and gives officials the authority to "refuse the case under 221(g)" and request additional evidence of birth sex if there is a discrepancy or "reasonable doubt" as to the applicant's sex. Section 7 provides that in cases where applicants are “suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex,” officers should “consider whether the misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding under INA section 212(a)(6)(C)(i).”
