A great deal of the conversations and activities which have to be testified about take place in foreign jurisdictions. which means that your witnesses are going to come from those same Jurisdictions. Prosecutors. however. have encountered difficulties in bringing foreign national witnesses and their families into the Witsec Program. Under current immigration procedure. a foreign national may enter the United States as a nonimmigrant as a parolee. visitor. or temporary or permanent employee of a U.S. subsidiary of a foreign company. Foreign nationals who are authorized to enter the Witsec Program are usually paroled into the country and must appear annually to extend their nonimmigrant status. Most are unable to qualify for permanent residency under existing immigration law and are therefore left to immigration limbo. relying on timely annual status reviews to keep them in the United States and away from the certain death of deportation. Widespread awareness of the hardships and uncertainty caused by this inflexibility have made obtaining vital foreign testimony more difficult as potential witnesses shy away from the program. Consequently.
