Immigration News: 11-07-2002 - Ciudad Juarez Will Handle Some TCN Student
Visa Applications 11-07-2002 - INS Reminds Eligible Salvadorans to
Re-register for TPS by 11/12/02 November 7, 2002 WASHINGTON - The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) today reminded those eligible Salvadorans to re-register immediately for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to maintain TPS and employment authorization for the 12-month period that began on September 9, 2002 and will end on September 9, 2003. Eligible Salvadorans who fail to timely re-register will lose employment authorization eligibility and risk being removed from the United States. Accordingly, INS strongly encourages all eligible El Salvadorans to immediately take advantage of this benefit program and re-register. 11-06-2002 - Persons Already Present in U.S. Subjected to Special Registration. SUMMARY: This Notice requires certain nonimmigrant aliens to appear before, register with, and provide requested information to the Immigration and Naturalization Service on or before December 16, 2002. It applies to certain nonimmigrant aliens from one of the countries designated in this Notice who were last admitted to the United States on or before September 10, 2002, and who will remain in the United States until at least December 16, 2002. The specific requirements are set forth in the Notice. EFFECTIVE DATES: This Notice is effective on November 15, 2002. Aliens described in this Notice are required to register and provide additional information to the Immigration and Naturalization Service on or before December 16, 2002. In light of recent events, and based on intelligence information available to the Attorney General, the Attorney General has determined that the aliens described in paragraph (a) of this Notice must appear before the Immigration and Naturalization Service (``Service'') and provide certain information. This Notice applies only to certain nonimmigrant aliens from one of the countries designated in this Notice who were last admitted to the United States on or before September 10, 2002, and who will remain until at least December 16, 2002. Based on intelligence information available to the Attorney General, the Attorney General has determined that registering all nonimmigrant aliens from the covered countries would not enhance national security. Moreover, the Attorney General has determined that it would not be administratively feasible at the present time to register all of the nonimmigrants from the specific countries covered by this Notice, and that the delay occasioned by registering all nonimmigrants from the countries covered by this Notice would jeopardize the national security. Accordingly, the Attorney General has determined that only males aged 16 years or older need to be registered at this time. Furthermore, the Attorney General has determined that aliens who have, prior to the date of publication of this Notice, applied for asylum, have already provided sufficient information in their applications for asylum, along with their fingerprints, to warrant exclusion from this Notice. Although section 265(b) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1305(b), provides a minimum period of 10 days notice for covered aliens to provide their current address and other required information, this Notice allows an alien described by the Notice a period of more than 30 days to register. The Attorney General has determined that such additional time to register is in the best interests of the United States and has extended this time to register solely as a matter of discretion. Finally, until further notice, once enrolled within the National Security Entry--Exit Registration System by registration under this Notice, an alien described in paragraph (a) of the Notice is required to register annually with the Service. All aliens described in paragraph (a) shall comply with all other provisions of 8 CFR 264.1(f)(5) through (f)(9). A willful failure to comply with the requirements of this Notice constitutes a failure to maintain nonimmigrant status under section 237(a)(1)(C)(i) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(1)(C)(i). See 8 CFR 214.1(f). Pursuant to section 237(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(3)(A), an alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this Notice is deportable, unless the alien establishes to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that such failure was reasonably excusable or was not willful. Finally, if an alien subject to this Notice fails, without good cause, to comply with the requirement in 8 CFR 264.1(f)(8) that the alien must report to an inspecting officer of the Service when departing the United States, the alien shall thereafter be presumed to be inadmissible under, but not limited to, section 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(A)(ii). See 8 CFR 264.1(f)(8). Notice of Requirements for Registration of Certain Nonimmigrant Aliens From Designated Countries Pursuant to sections 261 through 266 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (``Act''), as amended, 8 U.S.C. 1302 through 1306, and particularly sections 263(a) and 265(b) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1303(a) and 8 U.S.C. 1305(b), and 8 CFR 264.1(f), I hereby order as follows: (a) Scope.

If an alien fails to notify the Immigration and Naturalization Service in writing of a change of address and the new address, as required by section 265(a) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1305(a), the alien may be subject to prosecution under section 266(b) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1306(b), and may be deportable as provided in section 237(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1227(a)(3)(A). If it becomes necessary to place the alien in removal proceedings, the Immigration and Naturalization Service may use the most recent address provided by the alien for service of the Notice to Appear. (g) Inapplicability. The requirements of this Notice do not apply to any alien who: (1) Is presently in a nonimmigrant classification under section 101(a)(15)(A) or 101(a)(15)(G) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(A) or 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(G); (2) Is lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence; or (3) Has applied for asylum on or before November 6, 2002, or has been granted asylum, under section 208 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1158.

Man. 10-31-2002 - Attorney General Issues Statement on Haitian
Migrant Situation in Miami “The events yesterday regarding Haitian and other migrants in Miami are of great concern. Our first priority must be the health and safety of the individuals on board the vessel. These individuals are being treated fairly, appropriately, and humanely. Illegal migration by sea is perilous and the dangers are real. We call upon anyone who is considering similar attempts to come to the United States in this manner to reject this hazardous voyage. These types of voyages are unlikely to succeed and could result in tragic loss of life. The U.S. Government encourages legal travel to the United States and our consulates continue to issue non-immigrant and immigrant visas to qualified applicants. Since 1999, approximately 58,000 Haitians have legally migrated to the United States, making it the country with the fourth highest rate of legal immigrants. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act passed by Congress, individuals who arrive in the United States and do not present themselves for inspection are in violation of our country's immigration laws. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is currently processing the individuals who arrived yesterday for appropriate action.” 10-31-2002 - Canada Warns its Citizens that Travel to the U.S. Could Pose Risks In response to the DOJ’s “Department of Justice” stepped-up special registration activities, Canada’s Dept. of Foreign Affairs and Int’l Trade issued a travel advisory on 10/29/02 cautioning Canadians from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or Yemen to “consider carefully whether they should attempt to enter the U.S. for any reason.” 10-10-2002- CSC Notification Re Work Authorization for
