On June 10, 1932, an agreement became effective between the United States and Germany which provides for the charging by each Government of a fee of 50 cents for the issuance of visas to citizens of the other country who are nonimmigrants within the meaning of subdivisions (2) and (3) of section 3 of the Immigration Act of 1924, no fee to be charged for the execution of applications for such visas. The agreement also provides that no fee shall be charged by either Government for the issuance of visas, or for the execution of application therefor, in the case of citizens of the other country who are nonimmigrants within the meaning of subdivisions (1), (4), and (5) of section 3 of the Immigration Act of 1924.
