Special Registration Deadline is April 25th for Group 4
April 16 2003
If you are a citizen or national of Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, or Kuwait:
- And you were last admitted to the U.S. as a nonimmigrant on or before September 30, 2002; and
- If you are a male, born on or before February 24, 1987, and
- If you did not have an application for asylum pending on January 16, 2003, and
- If you will remain in the U.S. at least until April 25, 2003, then
- You must come to a designated immigration office to be registered (photographed, fingerprinted, and interviewed under oath) on or before April 25, 2003.
- If you remain in the U.S. for more than one additional year, you must report back to a designated immigration office within ten days of the anniversary date on which you first registered.
- If you change your address, employment, or educational institution, you must notify the Department of Homeland Security within ten days of the change, using Form AR-11 SR.
- If you leave the U.S., you must appear in person before an immigration inspecting officer at one of the designated ports of departure and leave the U.S. from that port on the same day.
If you do not follow these procedures, the Department of Homeland Security will consider you to be out of status, and deportable. This means that you could be subject to arrest, detention, fines, and/or removal from the U.S. Furthermore, any future application for an immigration benefit from the U.S. may be adversely impacted. Failure to exit the U.S. through a designated port may also impact future attempts to reenter the U.S.
