after the date on which the nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration was admitted into the United States.

(ii) At the time of verification of information for registration pursuant to paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this section, the nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration shall provide the Service with proof of compliance with the conditions of his or her nonimmigrant visa status and admission, including, but not limited to, proof of residence, employment, or registration and matriculation at an approved school or educational institution. The immigrant alien subject to special registration shall provide any additional information required by the Service.

(4) The Attorney General, by publication of a notice in the FEDERAL REGISTER, also may impose such special registration, fingerprinting, and photographing requirements upon nonimmigrant aliens who are nationals, citizens, or residents of specified countries or territories (or a designated subset of such nationals, citizens, or residents) who have already been admitted to the United States or who are otherwise in the United States. A notice under this paragraph (f)(4) shall explain the procedures for appearing in person and providing the information required by the Service, providing fingerprints, photographs, or submitting supplemental information or documentation.

(5) A nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration shall annually reregister in person with the Service at the district office for the district in which the nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration's residence is located. Annual reregistration shall be in the same manner as provided in paragraph (f)(3) of this section, and shall occur within 10 days of the month and day of the anniversary of his or her original admission to the United States. Annual reregistration of a nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration under paragraph (f)(4) of this section shall be in the manner prescribed in the applicable notice, subject to any modifications or changes included in any applicable intervening notice.

(6) In addition to the 30-day and annual reregistrations pursuant to paragraphs (f)(3) and (f)(5) of this section, any nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration who remains in the United States for 30 days or more shall notify the Service by mail or other such means as determined by the Attorney General, using a notification form designated by the Service, of any change of address of residence, change of employment, or change of educational institution, within 10 days of such change.

(7) A nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration may apply to the district director, or such other official as the Attorney General may designate, at the Service's district office in which the nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration's residence address is located and registered, for relief from the requirements of this paragraph (f). The decision of the district director or such other official is final and not appealable.

(8) When a nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration departs from the United States, he or she shall report to an inspecting officer of the Service at any port of entry, unless the Service has, by publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER, specified that nonimmigrant aliens subject to special registration may not depart from specific ports. Any nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration who fails, without good cause, to be examined by an inspecting officer at the time of his or her departure, and to have his or her departure confirmed and recorded by the inspecting officer, 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)), as an alien whom the Attorney General has reasonable grounds to believe, based on the alien's past failure to conform with the requirements for special registration, seeks to enter the United States to engage in unlawful activity. An alien may overcome this presumption by making a showing that he or she satisfies conditions set by the Attorney General and the Secretary of State. This paragraph (f)(8) applies only to those nonimmigrant aliens who have been registered under paragraph (f)(3)

of this section, or who are or have been required to register pursuant to paragraph (f)(4) of this section. This paragraph (f)(8) will become applicable on October 1, 2002.

(9) Registration under this paragraph (f) is not deemed to be complete unless all of the information required by the Service, and all requested documents, are provided in a timely manner. Each annual reregistration and each change of material fact is a registration that is required under sections 262 and 263 of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1302, 1303). Each change of address required under this paragraph (f) is a change of address required under section 265 of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1305).

(g) Registration and fingerprinting of children who reach age 14. Within 30 days after reaching the age of 14, any alien in the United States not exempt from alien registration under the act and this chapter shall present himself to a Service office for registration in accordance with section 262(b) of the Act, and for fingerprinting unless fingerprinting is waived pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section. He shall submit Form I-90 if he is a lawful permanent resident. If such alien is a lawful permanent resident of the United States and is temporarily absent from the United States when he reaches the age of 14, he shall comply with the foregoing within 30 days of his return to the United States. The alien, if a lawful permanent resident of the United States, shall surrender his prior evidence of alien registration and shall be issued Form I-551 bearing a photograph submitted by him in accordance with the instructions on Form I-90. In the case of an alien who is not a lawful permanent resident, the alien's Form I-94 or I-95 shall be noted to show that he has been registered and the date of registration.

(h) Temporary evidence of registration. Form I-94, appropriately endorsed, may be issued as temporary evidence of registration and lawful admission for permanent residence to a lawful permanent resident alien who is departing temporarily from the United States and has applied on Form I-90 for issuance of Form I-551, if the district director is unable to issue and deliver the Form I-551 prior to the alien's con

templated return to the United States. The alien shall surrender such Form I94 to the Service upon receipt of Form I-551.

(i) Copy of Form 1-94. An attorney or representative as defined in §1.1 of this chapter who is representing an alien before the Service or the Board may make and retain, solely for information purposes, a copy of the Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) issued to and in the possession of the alien. Such copy shall not be used for any other purpose.
