Why are you obsessed with this? HM's position is utterly unique, and nothing you can find is going to fit. She comes here by invitation, and it is all set up for her to just walk in. She doesn't need any visa, unlike lesser mortals.

I am obsessed with the immigration law as whole, and so far I was able to see that it was set up properly to handle even the unique cases, like those private bills (when the Congress issues a "law" designated to facilitate a sole person's case).

The Queen is a special case and the usual rules that everyone else has to follow don't apply to her. That's all you need to know.

Re: Queen Elizabeth - which waiver is she using?
As a head of state Her Majesty would receive an automatic A-1 visa but since she doesn't possess a passport it's purely academic as there would be no passport into which to place the vignette or a passport number to link to an electronic visa.
As others have pointed out, she's the Queen, the normal rules don't apply.

Crg pointed out how this worked at great length when we were having an argument about I-94s in the REAL ID thread.
It is mentioned in the CFR that CBP can waive things like OBIM for certain foreign dignitaries, but technically they enter as A-1. Presumably they get paper I-94s given that they can't use the electronic I-94 website.

Seriously? I'm 52 and working on my undergrad degree. My dad was in his 70s and still studying.
What are you studying now Ian?

She has to request and require on behalf of herself?

She can just write herself a note.
