Applications for conditional entry may be filed only by aliens who are physically present within one of the designated countries. (b) Applicants afflicted with tuberculosis, or applicants found inadmissible under section 212(a) (1) or (3). The provisions of section 212(g) of the Act shall apply to an applicant for conditional entry excludable from the United States under section 212(a)(6) because of affliction with tuberculosis or who is excludable under section 212(a) (1) or (3) of the Act, if the applicant has one of the family relationships specified in section 212(g), including the relationship specified to an alien whose conditional entry has been authorized. (c) Application. A separate application for conditional entry under section 203(a)(7) of the Act shall be executed by each applicant on Form I590 except that, in the case of a family group, a separate Form I-590 need be executed only for those members of the family who are 18 years of age or older and a carbon or machine copy of the Form I-590 executed by the principal adult applicant may be submitted as the application for each accompanying child under 18 years of age listed on such principal's application. The Forms I-590 shall be submitted to the officer in charge of the nearest Service office outside the United States. Each application shall be accompanied by a properly executed and signed Form G-325C if the applicant has reached his 14th birthday. An application for conditional entry filed by an alien who can qualify as an immediate relative or as a special immigrant shall be rejected. An applicant who ap pears to be eligible for classification under section 203(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of the Act shall be advised, but not required to seek such classification if a visa number is available. An applicant for whom a nonpreference visa number is available and who is not coming to the United States to perform skilled or unskilled labor shall be advised but not required to apply for a nonpreference immigrant visa. Each applicant under this paragraph shall appear in person before an immigration officer and excepting a child under 14 years of age shall, prior to the adjudication of his application, be interrogated under oath concerning his eligibility for conditional entry into the United States. Conditional entry will not be authorized until a medical examination has been completed and until assurances of employment and housing in the United States for a period of 2 years on Form I-591 and assurances of transportation from the applicant's place of abode to point of final destination in the United States have been provided. The applicant shall be notified of the decision and, if the application is denied, of the reasons therefor. No appeal shall lie from the denial of an application by the officer in charge. (d) Approved application. The approval of an application by an officer in charge outside the United States authorizes the district director at a port of entry to effect the conditional entry of the applicant upon arrival at such port within 4 months after the date of the approval. Upon arrival, every conditional entrant 14 years old or over shall execute Form I-592. For the purposes of section 203 (g) and (h) of the Act, the 2-year period shall commence on the date of the applicant's conditional entry into the United States.

Two years subsequent to conditional entry in the United States, each conditional entrant shall be required to appear before an immigration officer. The conditional entrant, if over 14 years of age, shall be interrogated by an immigration officer under oath and a determination of admissibility shall be made in accordance with Parts 235 and 236 of this chapter. Except as provided in Parts 245 and 249 of this chapter, an application under this part shall be the sole method of requesting the exercise of discretion under section 212 (g), (h), or (i) of the Act, insofar as they relate to the excludability of an alien in the United States. has (f) Termination of conditional entrant status.

The alien shall be referred for inquiry before a special inquiry officer in accordance with the provisions of sections 235, 236, and 237 of the Act and of this chapter. The special inquiry officer, if he determines that the alien is not inadmissible to the United States or, if inadmissible, that the alien is prima facie eligible for a waiver of the grounds of excludability pursuant to sections 212 (g), (h), or (i) of the Act, shall order the proceedings terminated !! and shall refer the matter to the district director for further proceedings in accordance with section 203(g) of the Act. Such order shall be without prejudice to reinstitution of proceedings or institution of new proceedings under this section. No appeal shall lie from a decision of a district director denying an application for a waiver under section 212 (g), (h), or (i) of the Act, but such denial shall be without prejudice to the renewal of the application in the course of proceedings before a special inquiry officer. The special inquiry officer, if he determines that the alien is inadmissible to the United States for permanent residence under any provision of the Act except section 212(a)(20) and that the alien is not entitled to the benefits of sections 212 (g), (h), or (i) of the Act, shall order the termination of the alien's conditional entry and shall make such further order as may be proper. From the decision of the spe cial inquiry officer an appeal shall lie in accordance with the provisions of § 236.5 of this chapter.
