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.

Is this info needed for some sort of research, university course etc?

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.

You really do need to have a look at that REAL ID thread then. :lol:

Bullshit! I'm 61, and I'm currently going to university working on another graduate degree. It sounds as though you're nothing but a "wanna-be".

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

She has to request and require on behalf of herself?

You will be coming to me demanding to know why the equipment isn't working / lab is on fire / intertubes are clogged. (I have distance learning labs here).
