United States person

Read a random definition: Warsaw Convention

A quick definition of United States person:

Term: UNITED STATES PERSON

Definition: A United States person is someone who lives in the United States or is a citizen of the United States. It can also refer to a company that is based in the United States or a foreign company that is controlled by a United States company. However, if someone lives outside of the United States and works for a non-United States company, they are not considered a United States person. It is important to note that United States persons are not allowed to participate in any discrimination against Jews or other groups by members of the League of Arab States.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A United States person is someone who is a resident or national of the United States, with the exception of someone who lives outside the United States and works for a non-U.S. person. It also includes any American business or organization, as well as any foreign subsidiary or affiliate of an American business that is controlled by the American business.

Examples:

  • A U.S. citizen who lives in California
  • An American company that sells products in Europe
  • A foreign subsidiary of a U.S. company that is controlled by the U.S. company

These examples illustrate that a United States person can be an individual or a business, and that it includes both domestic and foreign entities that are controlled by American businesses.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
