12/16/2002 IMMIGRATION ALERT:
3D SPECIAL REGISTRATION NOTICE INCLUDES SAUDI ARABIANS, PAKISTANIS,
ARMENIANS
On December 16, 2002, the Department of Justice released its third
notice requiring special registration. The attorney General's Notice compels
citizens of Armenia, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, who entered the United
States on or before September 30, 2002 and who will remain in the United
States after February 21, 2003, to register and provide requested
information to the Immigration and Naturalization Service on or before
February 21, 2003.
Only male nonimmigrants aged 16 years or older need to be registered at this
time. Furthermore, the Attorney General has determined that an alien who has
an application for asylum pending on the date of publication of this Notice
has already provided sufficient information in the application for asylum,
along with fingerprints, to warrant exclusion from this Notice. Anyone who
willingly fails to comply with this and past Special Registration Notices is
failing to maintain nonimmigrant status and may be deportable.
This is the third Notice that the Attorney General's office has
published requiring Special Registration. Previous Notices have applied to
certain nonimmigrant nationals or citizens of Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain,
Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, North Korea, Oman, Qatar,
Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
