Category IVD - Refugees who have education or work experience which would assist in their resettlement; or have shown personal initiatives while in camp such as enrolling in language courses: or have undergone particularly difficult experience in their home country or during their escape; or for whom other special humanitarian circumstances exist.

Category IVE - Remaining refugees by date of registration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Category V - Cambodian refugees: A separate quota is established for Cambodian refugees to be implemented at the rate of 625 refugees per month beginning on 1 October 1978 or at an annual rate of 7,520. Cambodians who departed for the US after 1 October 1978 are to be counted with this quota. Priority of eligibility as among Cambodian refugees will be based on the factors in Categories I-IV above taken in that order.

General Provisions

Accompanying close relatives (spouse, parent, grandparent and unmarried son, daughter, sibling or grandchild) share the category with principal applicant (head of family). More distant relatives if considered to be dependent on him(her).

If refugees eligible for an immigrant visa have accompanying dependent relatives not eligible for such visas, such dependent relatives should be judged for eligibility for parole as if principal applicant were entering under refugee parole.

New. Note that persons in this category will be considered under the terms of categories I-IV subject to numerical limitation. Thus there is no general precedence over Category V of categories designated by a lower figure.

This implies that principal applicant, although holder of an immigrant visa, will have to be examined as to whether he fits any of the categories I-V, so as to determine under which category his dependent relatives can be admitted on parole.
