October 24, 2016 PM-602-0138 Policy Memorandum SUBJECT: Matter of R-C-C-S-D-, Adopted Decision 2016-04 (AAO Oct. 24, 2016) Purpose This policy memorandum (PM) designates the attached decision of the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) in Matter of R-C-C-S-D- as an Adopted Decision. Accordingly, this adopted decision establishes policy guidance that applies to and binds all U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) employees. USCIS personnel are directed to follow the reasoning in this decision in similar cases. Matter of R-C-C-S-D- clarifies that a language immersion school may be eligible for designation as an international cultural exchange program, such that it may petition to classify teachers as Q-1 international cultural exchange visitors. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(15)(Q). The school’s program must satisfy the three regulatory requirements: (1) public access; (2) a cultural component; and (3) a work component tied to the cultural component. The school must also demonstrate in the record the duration of the program. An approved Q-1 petition is valid for the length of the program or 15 months, whichever is shorter. Use This PM is intended solely for the guidance of USCIS personnel in the performance of their official duties. It is not intended to, does not, and may not be relied upon to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or by any individual or other party in removal proceedings, in litigation with the United States, or in any other form or manner. Contact Information Questions or suggestions regarding this PM should be addressed through appropriate directorate channels to the AAO.

petition is valid for the length of the program or 15 months, whichever is shorter. FOR THE PETITIONER: Jennifer Rilen Casey, Esquire, Denver, Colorado The Petitioner is the second largest public school district in Delaware with more than 15,000 students in 32 schools. It seeks to employ the four Beneficiaries, who are all Spanish nationals, as elementary school teachers at the William C. Lewis Dual Language Magnet School in Wilmington. The Petitioner explained that the purpose of this school’s Spanish immersion program is “to provide an opportunity for our American students to learn Spanish language through lessons on Spanish culture, history, literature, cinema, fiesta, dance and geography that adhere to District curriculum standards and State Common core Standards.” As indicated in their job description, the teachers’ primary duties include developing lessons plans—and then providing instruction in Spanish and through Spanish literature, gastronomy, history, and traditions—in reading, writing, social studies, personal development, science, and math. To secure their employment, the Petitioner seeks to classify the Beneficiaries as international cultural exchange visitors. See Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(15)(Q), 1 On October 24, 2016, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services designated this Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) decision as an Adopted Decision. The original AAO decision is Matter of R-C-C-S-D-, ID# 17721 (AAO July 18, 2016).

申请在项目持续时间或15个月中较短者的期限内有效。 申请人代表：Jennifer Rilen Casey，Esquire，科罗拉多州丹佛 申请人是特拉华州第二大学区，在32所学校拥有超过15,000名学生。它寻求雇用四名受益人，他们均为西班牙国民，在威尔明顿的William C.

Matter of R-C-C-S-D- Adopted Decision

Matter of R-C-C-S-D- 采纳决定

8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(Q). This Q-1 classification makes nonimmigrant visas available to individuals who participate in an international cultural exchange program, approved by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to provide practical training, employment, and the sharing of the history, culture, and traditions of their country of nationality. The Director, Vermont Service Center, approved the nonimmigrant petition and certified 2 the decision to us to review her determination that the Petitioner’s program is eligible for designation as an international cultural exchange program. The Director found, and the record demonstrates, that the Petitioner is a qualified employer and that the Beneficiaries are eligible for Q status. The sole issue for which the Director seeks our review is whether the Petitioner’s proposed program is eligible for designation as an international cultural exchange. As discussed below, we concur with the Director’s determination that the Petitioner’s program satisfies the three regulatory requirements of an eligible program: (1) public access; (2) a cultural component; and (3) a work component tied to the cultural component. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii).

8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(Q)。该Q-1分类使非移民签证可供参与经国土安全部（DHS）批准的国际文化交流项目的个人使用，以提供实践培训、就业以及分享其国籍国的历史、文化和传统。 佛蒙特服务中心主任批准了非移民申请，并将2 该决定认证给我们，以审查她关于申请人项目有资格被指定为国际文化交流项目的裁定。主任认定，且记录表明，申请人是合格雇主，受益人符合Q身份资格。主任寻求我们审查的唯一问题是申请人拟议的项目是否有资格被指定为国际文化交流。如下文所述，我们同意主任的裁定，即申请人的项目满足合格项目的三项监管要求：(1) 公众可参与；(2) 文化组成部分；以及 (3) 与文化组成部分相关联的工作组成部分。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)。

I. LAW Section 101(a)(15)(Q) of the Act authorizes nonimmigrant status for participants in a DHS-approved international cultural exchange program. The implementing regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q) establishes the process by which DHS evaluates both the proposed cultural program and the prospective Q nonimmigrants. Under 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii), an international cultural exchange program must meet the following requirements:

I. 法律 该法第101(a)(15)(Q)条授权参与DHS批准的国际文化交流项目的个人获得非移民身份。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)的实施条例确立了DHS评估拟议文化项目和潜在Q非移民的程序。根据8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)，国际文化交流项目必须满足以下要求：

(A) Accessibility to the public. The international cultural exchange program must take

(A) 公众可参与。国际文化交流项目必须

place in a school, museum, business or other establishment where the American public, or a segment of the public sharing a common cultural interest, is exposed to aspects of a foreign culture as part of a structured program. Activities that take place in a private home or an isolated business setting to which the American public, or a segment of the public sharing a common cultural interest, does not have direct access do not qualify. (B) Cultural component. The international cultural exchange program must have a

在学校、博物馆、企业或其他场所进行，在那里美国公众或具有共同文化利益的公众群体作为结构化项目的一部分接触外国文化的各个方面。在私人住宅或孤立的企业环境中进行的活动，美国公众或具有共同文化利益的公众群体无法直接参与的活动，不符合资格。 (B) 文化组成部分。国际文化交流项目必须具有

cultural component which is an essential and integral part of the international cultural exchange visitor’s employment or training. The cultural component must be designed, on the whole, to exhibit or explain the attitude, customs, history, heritage, philosophy, or traditions of the international cultural exchange visitor’s country of nationality. A cultural component may include structured instructional activities such as seminars, courses, lecture series, or language camps. (C) Work component. The international cultural exchange visitor’s employment or

文化组成部分，该组成部分是国际文化交流访问者就业或培训的基本和不可或缺的部分。文化组成部分必须整体上设计为展示或解释国际文化交流访问者国籍国的态度、习俗、历史、遗产、哲学或传统。文化组成部分可以包括结构化的教学活动，如研讨会、课程、系列讲座或语言营。 (C) 工作组成部分。国际文化交流访问者在美国的就业或

training in the United States may not be independent of the cultural component of 2 See 8 C.F.R. § 103.4.

the international cultural exchange program. The work component must serve as the vehicle to achieve the objectives of the cultural component. The sharing of the culture of the international cultural exchange visitor’s country of nationality must result from his or her employment or training with the qualified employer in the United States. The regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(ii) states that “[e]ach petition for an international cultural exchange program will be approved for the duration of the program, which may not exceed 15 months, plus 30 days to allow time for the participants to make travel arrangements.” In addition, 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(7)(iii) provides that an approved Q petition is valid “for the length of the approved program or fifteen (15) months, whichever is shorter.” 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(7)(iii).

工作组成部分必须作为实现文化组成部分目标的载体。分享国际文化交流访问者国籍国的文化必须源于其在美国与合格雇主的就业或培训。 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(ii)的条例规定，“[e]每份国际文化交流项目申请将按项目持续时间批准，不得超过15个月，另加30天以允许参与者安排旅行。”此外，8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(7)(iii)规定，获批的Q申请“在获批项目的长度或十五(15)个月中较短者的期限内”有效。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(7)(iii)。

II. ANALYSIS A. Accessibility to the Public The first requirement is that the program must be publicly accessible. An international cultural exchange program must take place in an establishment where the American public, or a segment sharing a common cultural interest, can partake. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(A). The regulation provides examples of what types of locations satisfy public access: a school, museum, business, or other establishment where the public (or at least an interested portion) may access the program. But a private home or an isolated business setting, not open to direct public access, is unacceptable. This “access” provision also requires that the exchange program be “structured.” The regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B) specifically cites to enrollment-based instructional activities, such as courses and seminars, as examples of “structured” activities. Here, the Director correctly determined that the proposed activities are publicly accessible. The Delaware Immersion Program website indicates that the Petitioner is one of several Delaware school districts offering a Spanish immersion program, and that the programs are open to all students in the state. The Petitioner notes that its website clearly markets the host school as providing a direct opportunity for the American public to acquire Spanish language and to be immersed in Spanish culture and tradition. The record reflects that the Beneficiaries will not be coming to the United States solely to teach foreign language classes that are part of a school’s traditional curriculum to a limited number of students enrolled in the classes. Rather, as stated by the Petitioner, they will “engage in continuous culture sharing that will take place in a structured manner within the Petitioner’s Spanish Dual Immersion Magnet Program and its associated Q-1 Program, where a substantial portion of the participating populations inside and outside [the school district] have direct access.” The documentation in the record, which includes statements from the Beneficiaries as current participants in the Petitioner’s approved cultural exchange program, establishes that access to the school’s cultural offerings is not limited to the enrolled students. The Beneficiary teachers assist

II. 分析 A. 公众可参与性 第一项要求是该项目必须可供公众参与。国际文化交流项目必须在能够让美国公众或具有共同文化利益的群体参与的场所进行。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(A)。该法规举例说明了何种类型的场所满足公众参与条件：学校、博物馆、企业或其他公众（或至少是有兴趣的部分公众）可以参与该项目的场所。但私人住宅或不对外开放直接公众参与的封闭商业场所则不可接受。 该“参与”条款还要求交流项目必须是“有结构的”。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B)的法规特别援引以入学为基础的教学活动，如课程和研讨会，作为“有结构”活动的示例。 在此，主任正确地认定拟议活动具有公众可参与性。特拉华沉浸式项目网站显示，申请人是在特拉华州提供西班牙语沉浸式项目的几个学区之一，且这些项目向全州所有学生开放。申请人指出，其网站明确宣传主办学校为美国公众提供了获得西班牙语语言能力并沉浸于西班牙文化和传统的直接机会。 记录反映，受益人并非仅来美国教授作为学校传统课程一部分的外语课程，且仅面向选修这些课程的有限数量学生。相反，如申请人所述，他们将“以有结构的方式在申请人的西班牙语双向沉浸式磁石项目及其相关的Q-1项目中进行持续的文化分享，[学区]内外参与人群的相当一部分可直接参与。”记录中的文件，包括受益人作为申请人已批准文化交流项目当前参与者的陈述，证明学校文化活动的参与不限于已注册的学生。受益教师协助

students to prepare cultural demonstrations for special assemblies and events which are open to the students’ families and the community. The Beneficiary teachers also have opportunities to provide cultural lessons to students in other schools within the district. Therefore, we agree with the Director’s determination that the Petitioner has established public access. In addition to demonstrating public access, the Petitioner has established that the cultural exposure will take place “as part of a structured program.” The record includes copies of the Petitioner’s guidelines for its dual language immersion program, as well as its curricular materials detailing the learning objectives and lesson sequence for various courses. The school’s mission statement explains that its dual language immersion model divides its instruction in the Delaware Recommended Curriculum between two classrooms, English and Spanish, with students’ time divided between the two teachers depending upon their grade level. We find the submitted documentation sufficient to establish that the program is implemented in a structured manner. B. The Cultural Component Next, the program must have a cultural component designed to exhibit or explain the culture of the Beneficiaries’ country of nationality. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B). The cultural component must be an “essential and integral part” of the employment or training. Id. The regulation casts a broad net— attitude, customs, history, heritage, philosophy, or traditions—to capture the inherent breadth of “culture.” Id. And the cultural component must be “structured,” which may include activities, commonly but not necessarily enrollment-based, such as seminars, courses, lecture series, and language camps. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(A)-(B). In this case, the record demonstrates that the Petitioner’s program satisfies the cultural component. The record contains structured lesson plans as well as teacher statements establishing that the international cultural exchange teachers introduce students to the teachers’ home country, in this instance Spain, traditional arts and crafts, games, folk songs and tales, cuisine, holidays, and other aspects of their culture. The teachers also prepare cultural events and programs open to the public such as live musical performances by Spanish entertainers. These materials substantiate the Petitioner’s statement that its program “continuously and simultaneously transmits the culture of Spain through the performance of [the Beneficiaries’] job duties.” The Petitioner has established that its program meets the cultural component. C. The Work Component

学生为特别集会和活动准备文化展示，这些活动向学生家庭和社区开放。受益教师还有机会向学区内其他学校的学生提供文化课程。因此，我们同意主任的认定，即申请人已证明公众可参与性。 除证明公众可参与性外，申请人还证明文化接触将“作为有结构项目的一部分”进行。记录包括申请人双向语言沉浸式项目指南的副本，以及详细说明各课程学习目标和课程顺序的课程材料。学校使命声明解释其双向语言沉浸式模式将特拉华推荐课程的教学分为两个课堂——英语和西班牙语——学生根据年级在两位教师之间分配时间。我们认定提交的文件足以证明该项目以有结构的方式实施。 B. 文化组成部分 其次，项目必须具有旨在展示或解释受益人国籍国文化的文化组成部分。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B)。文化组成部分必须是雇佣或培训的“必要且不可分割的部分”。Id. 该法规撒下了一张大网——态度、习俗、历史、遗产、哲学或传统——以捕捉“文化”的固有广度。Id. 且文化组成部分必须是“有结构的”，可包括活动，通常但不必然以入学为基础，如研讨会、课程、系列讲座和语言营。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(A)-(B)。 在本案中，记录表明申请人的项目满足文化组成部分。记录包含有结构的教案以及教师陈述，证明国际文化交流教师向学生介绍教师母国——本案中为西班牙——的传统艺术和手工艺、游戏、民歌和故事、美食、节日及其文化的其他方面。教师还准备向公众开放的文化活动和项目，如西班牙艺人的现场音乐表演。这些材料证实了申请人的陈述，即其项目“通过[受益人]履行工作职责持续且同时传播西班牙文化”。申请人已证明其项目满足文化组成部分。 C. 工作组成部分

Lastly, a program beneficiary’s employment or training in the United States must be tied to the program’s cultural component. A beneficiary’s work may not be independent of the program’s cultural component. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(C). In fact, the previous regulatory provision appears to state the link, albeit in reverse, more forcefully: the cultural component must be “an essential and integral part of [a beneficiary’s] employment or training.” 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B). Put another way, a beneficiary’s work “must serve as the vehicle to achieve”

最后，项目受益人在美国的雇佣或培训必须与项目的文化组成部分相关联。受益人的工作不得独立于项目的文化组成部分。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(C)。事实上，先前的法规条款似乎以反向方式更加强调了这一联系：文化组成部分必须是“[受益人]雇佣或培训的必要且不可分割的部分”。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B)。换言之，受益人的工作“必须作为实现”

the program’s cultural objectives, and the cultural offerings “must result from” a beneficiary’s employment or training with the petitioning employer. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(C). The Petitioner has shown that the majority of the Beneficiaries’ work serves as a “vehicle” to achieve the program’s cultural objectives, and that such objectives will “result from” their work. The lesson plans for various grade levels and subjects in the record of proceedings incorporate Spanish cultural themes and demonstrate that the Beneficiaries “continuously transmit Spanish culture through the performance of their job duties.” The evidence reflects that the Petitioner is not seeking to employ the Beneficiaries solely to teach foreign language classes as part of a traditional curriculum of language instruction but rather as teachers in a dual immersion program which will “utilize curriculum and content areas as the vehicle to transmit language, culture, customs, heritage, traditions, etc. to American students” who will “learn the content areas by and through learning about Spain, Spanish history, Spanish customs, food, festivals, literature and dance.” While the Beneficiaries’ duties certainly include non-cultural activities that are common to all elementary school teachers, we find sufficient evidence to establish that the cultural component of the immersion program is an “essential and integral part” of the Beneficiaries’ work. 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B)-(C). The Director correctly determined that the Petitioner satisfied the three requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii) and thus properly approved the petition for an international cultural exchange program. D. Duration of the Program An approved Q petition is valid “for the length of the approved program or fifteen (15) months, whichever is shorter.” 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(7)(iii). The regulations define the program’s duration as “the time in which a qualified employer is conducting an approved international cultural exchange program in the manner as established by the employer’s petition for program approval, provided that the period of time does not exceed 15 months.” 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(1)(iii). Here, the Petitioner has requested that all four Beneficiaries be granted Q-1 classification for a period of 15 months, but it is not clear in this record whether the Petitioner’s school-based cultural program runs 15 straight months, or some other interval such as an academic school year (ostensibly less than 15 months). 3 For example, we cannot determine from the record whether the Beneficiaries are participating in the cultural program during the summer break between academic school years. As such, we will remand the matter to the Director to develop the record as necessary and to determine the duration of the program.

项目文化目标的载体，且文化内容“必须源于”受益人与申请雇主的雇佣或培训。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(C)。 申请人已表明受益人的大部分工作作为实现项目文化目标的“载体”，且此类目标将“源于”其工作。诉讼记录中不同年级和科目的教案纳入了西班牙文化主题，并证明受益人“通过履行工作职责持续传播西班牙文化”。证据反映，申请人并非寻求仅雇佣受益人教授作为传统语言教学课程一部分的外语课程，而是作为双向沉浸式项目的教师，该项目将“利用课程和内容领域作为载体，向美国学生传播语言、文化、习俗、遗产、传统等”，这些学生将“通过学习和了解西班牙、西班牙历史、西班牙习俗、食物、节日、文学和舞蹈来学习内容领域”。虽然受益人的职责当然包括所有小学教师共有的非文化活动，但我们认定有充分证据证明沉浸式项目的文化组成部分是受益人工作的“必要且不可分割的部分”。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)(B)-(C)。 主任正确地认定申请人满足了8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(3)(iii)的三项要求，因而适当地批准了国际文化交流项目的申请。 D. 项目期限 已批准的Q申请“在已批准项目的期限内或十五（15）个月内有效，以较短者为准”。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(7)(iii)。法规将项目期限定义为“合格雇主以雇主项目批准申请所确立的方式开展已批准国际文化交流项目的时间，前提是该时间段不超过15个月”。8 C.F.R. § 214.2(q)(1)(iii)。 在此，申请人请求为所有四名受益人授予15个月的Q-1身份，但本记录中不清楚申请人的学校文化项目是连续运行15个月，还是其他间隔，如一个学年（表面上少于15个月）。3 例如，我们无法从记录中确定受益人在学年之间的暑假期间是否参与文化项目。因此，我们将此事发回主任，以视需要补充记录并确定项目期限。

3 The 2014-2015 School Event Calendar indicated that the academic year began on August 25, 2014, and ended on June 5, 2015. The school’s May 1, 2015, newsletter indicated that, in June, it would hold a Spanish Immersion Program.

3 2014-2015学年活动日历显示学年于2014年8月25日开始，于2015年6月5日结束。学校2015年5月1日的通讯显示，6月将举办西班牙语沉浸式项目。
