Religious Worker Visas Bulletin on R-1 Visas (in .pdf form) Extension of Special Immigrant Status for Religious Workers Subclauses (II) and (III) of section 101(a)(27)(C)(ii) of the INA provide for the admission as "special immigrants" for those who qualify as professional or other religious workers in a religious vocation or occupation. These provisions sunset on September 30, 2003. This sunset date did not apply to the religious worker category for those individuals who enter solely for the purpose of carrying on the vocation of a minister of a religious denomination. On October 15, 2003, the Act “To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to extend for an additional 5 years the special immigrant religious worker program” (Public Law 108-99) was signed into law extending the special immigrant religious worker classification for another 5 years until September 30, 2008.
