The visa or other entry documentation of a foreign person described in subsection
(a)shall be revoked, regardless of when such visa or other entry documentation is or was issued. A revocation under subparagraph
(A)shall, in accordance with section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1201(i) )— take effect; and cancel any other valid visa or entry documentation that is in the person’s possession. The President may waive the imposition of sanctions under this section with respect to a foreign person if doing so is in the national interest of the United States. This section shall not apply with respect to activities subject to the reporting requirements under title V of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3091 et seq. ) or any authorized intelligence, law enforcement, or national security activities of the United States. Sanctions under subsection
(b)shall not apply with respect to the admission of an alien to the United States if such admission is necessary to comply with the obligations of the United States under the Agreement regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations, signed at Lake Success June 26, 1947, and entered into force November 21, 1947, between the United Nations and the United States, or the Convention on Consular Relations, done at Vienna April 24, 1963, and entered into force March 19, 1967, or other international obligations. Sanctions under subsection
(b)shall not apply with respect to a person providing provisions to a vessel identified under section 608(c) of the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act ( 16 U.S.C. 1826i ) if such provisions are intended for the safety and care of the crew aboard the vessel, or the maintenance of the vessel to avoid any environmental or other significant damage. Sanctions under subsection
(b)shall not apply with respect to a person described in subsection (a), if such person was listed as the owner of a vessel described in that subsection through the use of force, threats of force, fraud, or coercion.
