How are individuals handled who are permanent residents or citizens of countries other than those of their nationality?
If the individual is a naturalized citizen or permanent resident of the United States, the 'deemed export' rule does not apply. In other words, he or she is not subject to the provisions of the 'deemed export' regulation. For individuals who are citizens of more than one foreign country, or have citizenship in one foreign country and permanent residence in another, as a general policy, the last permanent resident status or citizenship obtained governs. Questions 7 through 11 provide examples of situations involving individuals who are citizens of more than one foreign country, or have citizenship in one foreign country and permanent residence in another. If, for some reason, the status of a foreign national is not certain, then you should ask the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA), to determine where the stronger ties lie, based on the facts of the specific case. For instance, the status of a foreign national could be uncertain in situations where information may indicate involvement with prohibited entities or activities, for example, missile or nuclear-related end-uses or end-users as identified in Part 744 of the EAR. In response to a request for the status of a foreign national, BXA will look at the foreign national's family, professional, financial, and employment ties.
