  Except as otherwise provided, an alien may be admitted to the United 
States as a nonimmigrant for the time and under conditions the Attorney 
General prescribes by regulation. The Attorney General may require the

Sec. 2102. Presumption

  An alien (except a nonimmigrant classified under section 2313, 2317, 
or 2325 of this title) is presumed to be an immigrant until the alien 
satisfies the consular officer, at the time of application for a visa, 
and the immigration officer, at the time of application for admission, 
that the alien qualifies as a nonimmigrant.

Sec. 2103. Application of certain provisions to diplomats

  Except as otherwise provided by this title, those provisions of this 
title related to ineligibility for a visa and exclusion or deportation 
of an alien do not apply to a nonimmigrant described by--
          (1) section 2301(1) of this title, except that the 
        nonimmigrant is subject--
                  (A) to those provisions requiring a passport and visa 
                for identification and proof of the nonimmigrant's 
                classification under that section; and
                  (B) under regulations prescribed by the President, to 
                section 6308(a)-(c) of this title; or
          (2) section 2301(2) or 2302(1)-(5) of this title, except that 
        the nonimmigrant is subject to--
                  (A) those provisions requiring a passport and visa 
                for identification and proof of the nonimmigrant's 
                classification under one of those sections; and
                  (B) section 6308(a)-(c) of this title.

  (a) General.--Except as provided by this section and section 2127 of 
this title, an alien classified as a nonimmigrant under chapter 23 of

                  (A) is valid for at least 6 months after the last day 
                of the alien's initial period of admission or 
                contemplated initial period of admission; and
                  (B) authorizes the alien during those 6 months to 
                return to the foreign country from which the alien came 
                or to enter another foreign country; and
          (2) a nonimmigrant visa or border crossing identification

          (1) in an individual case because of an unforeseen emergency;
          (2) on a reciprocal basis, for nationals of foreign 
        contiguous territory or of adjacent islands and for residents 
        of that territory or islands who have a common nationality with 
        those nationals; and
          (3) for an alien proceeding in immediate and continuous

decide, after consulting with the Governor of Guam, that--
          (A) an adequate arrival and departure control system has been 
        developed on Guam; and
          (B) the waiver does not represent a threat to the welfare, 
        safety, or security of the United States or its territories or 
        possessions.
  (2) An alien may be granted a waiver under this subsection only if 
the alien waives any right--
          (A) to a review or appeal under this title of an immigration 
        officer's decision on the admissibility of the alien at the 
        port of entry into Guam; or
          (B) to contest (except on the basis of an application for 
        asylum) an action for deportation against the alien.
  (3) An alien admitted to Guam without a visa under this subsection 
may not--
          (A) stay in Guam for more than 15 days after the date of 
        admission to Guam; or
          (B) enter or stay in the United States under that admission, 
        except in Guam.
  (4) If adequate appropriated amounts to carry out this subsection are 
not available, the Attorney General may accept amounts tendered by the

  (c) Statement About No Entitlement To Enter the United States.--An

regulation, an alien must--
          (1) sign an application for a nonimmigrant visa in the

consular officer may grant a nonimmigrant visa to an eligible 
nonimmigrant who has made a proper application for the visa.
  (b) Prohibitions.--(1) A consular officer may not grant a

        States; or
          (D) the consular officer has reason to believe the alien is 
        ineligible for the visa or other documentation.
  (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(D) of this subsection, a consular 
officer may grant a nonimmigrant visa or other documentation to--

        leave the United States when--
                  (i) the time for which the alien is admitted expires; 
                or
                  (ii) the alien does not remain a member of the

a foreign country the same as the government of that country treats 
nationals of the United States within a similar class.
  (b) Revocation.--A consular officer or the Secretary may revoke a 
visa or other documentation issued to a nonimmigrant. A revocation 
invalidates the visa or documentation from the date the visa or

each revocation.

Sec. 2125. Fees

  The Secretary of State shall prescribe fees for providing and 
verifying a nonimmigrant visa application for, and granting a 
nonimmigrant visa to, a nonimmigrant of each foreign country. If

of all visa, entry, residence, or similar fees the country imposes on 
nationals of the United States. An alien described by section 11 of the 
Agreement Between the United Nations and the United States of America 
Regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations (61 Stat. 761) and 
traveling to or from the headquarters district of the United Nations 
shall be granted a nonimmigrant visa without charge.

Sec. 2126. Burden of proof

  An individual applying for a nonimmigrant visa or other documentation 
required for entering the United States as a nonimmigrant has the 
burden of proving that the individual is eligible to be granted the 
visa or documentation. A consular officer may grant the visa or 
documentation only if satisfied that the individual is eligible to 
receive the visa or documentation.

Sec. 2127. Visa waiver pilot program

  (a) Establishment of Program.--The Attorney General and the Secretary 
of State jointly may maintain a pilot program for the fiscal years 
ending September 30, 1989-1994, under which they jointly may waive 
section 2121(a)(2) of this title for an alien eligible for a waiver 
under subsection (c) of this section.
  (b) Designation of Pilot Program Countries.--(1) The Attorney General 
and the Secretary jointly may designate any foreign country as a pilot 
program country if the government of that country extends (or agrees to 
extend) reciprocal privileges to nationals of the United States and 
meets the requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection. A 
designation is only for a fiscal year.
  (2) Subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection, a country may be 
designated as a pilot program country only if--
          (A) the average number of refusals of nonimmigrant visitor 
        visas for nationals of that country during the prior 2 fiscal 
        years was less than 2 percent of the number of nonimmigrant 
        visitor visas for nationals of that country that were granted 
        or refused during those years;
          (B) the average number of refusals of nonimmigrant visitor 
        visas for nationals of that country during either of those 2 
        years was less than 2.5 percent of the number of nonimmigrant 
        visitor visas for nationals of that country that were granted 
        or refused during that year;
          (C) the government of that country certifies that it has or 
        is developing a program to issue machine-readable passports to 
        citizens of that country; and
          (D) the Attorney General decides that the law enforcement 
        interests of the United States would not be compromised by the 
        designation of that country.
  (3) A country that was a pilot program country in the prior fiscal 
year may be designated as a pilot program country in a subsequent 
fiscal year of the program only if the total number of nationals 
referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph is less than 2 
percent of the number of nationals of that country who applied for 
admission as nonimmigrant visitors during that prior fiscal year:
          (A) the number of nationals of that country who were excluded 
        from admission or withdrew their application for admission 
        during that prior fiscal year as nonimmigrant visitors; plus
          (B) the number of nationals of that country who were admitted 
        as nonimmigrant visitors during that prior fiscal year and who 
        violated a condition of that admission.
  (c) Eligible Aliens.--An alien is eligible for a waiver under the 
program if the alien--
          (1) is applying to be admitted not later than September 30, 
        1994, as a nonimmigrant visitor under section 2303 of this 
        title for not more than 90 days;
          (2) is a national of, and presents a passport issued by, a

        any right--
                  (A) to a review or appeal under this title of an 
                immigration officer's decision on the admissibility of 
                the alien at the port of entry into the United States; 
                or
                  (B) to contest (except on the basis of an application 
                for asylum) an action for deportation against the 
                alien;
          (5) when arriving by air or sea, arrives at the port of entry 
        into the United States on a carrier that has an agreement with 
        the Attorney General to guarantee transportation of the alien 
        out of the United States if the alien is found inadmissable or 
        deportable by an immigration officer;
          (6) has a round-trip transportation ticket unless the 
        Attorney General by regulation waives this requirement;
          (7) is not a threat to the welfare, health, safety, or 
        security of the United States; and
          (8) complied with the conditions of any previous admission 
        without a visa under the program.
  (d) Admission Under Visa Waiver Pilot Program.--An alien admitted to 
the United States under this section without a visa may not stay in the 
United States as a nonimmigrant visitor for more than 90 days after the 
date of admission to the United States.
  (e) Carrier Agreements.--(1) A carrier and the Attorney General may 
make an agreement referred to in subsection (c)(5) of this section 
under which the carrier agrees, in consideration of the waiver of the 
visa requirement for a nonimmigrant visitor under the program--
          (A) to indemnify the United States Government against costs 
        of transporting that visitor from the United States if the 
        visitor is refused admission or remains in the United States 
        unlawfully after the end of the period of admission referred to 
        in subsection (c)(1) of this section;
          (B) to submit each day to immigration officers any 
        immigration forms received about nonimmigrant visitors given a 
        waiver under the program; and
          (C) to be liable, under regulations the Attorney General 
        prescribes, for transporting a national of a pilot program 
        country into the United States without a passport.
  (2) If a carrier does not comply with an agreement made under 
paragraph (1) of this subsection, the Attorney General may end the 
agreement on 5 days' notice to the carrier.
  (f) Denial of Waivers.--Notwithstanding subsections (a)-(c) and (e) 
of this section, the Attorney General and the Secretary jointly may--
          (1) for any reason refuse to waive the visa requirement for a 
        national of a foreign country that otherwise may qualify for 
        designation as a pilot program country under this section; or
          (2) rescind at any time a waiver or designation previously 
        granted under this section.

        worksite, except a private household worksite, that is not the 
        alien's employer or controlled by the employer) at which the

obtaining a visa or obtaining or maintaining the classification as a

otherwise has sought permanent residence in the United States is not 
evidence of an intention to abandon a residence in a foreign country if 
the alien has obtained a change of classification under section 9108 to 
a classification as such a nonimmigrant before the alien's most recent 
departure from the United States.

                        occupational classification in the area of

(1) The Secretary shall establish a procedure for receiving, 
investigating, and disposing of complaints about a petitioner's failure 
to meet a condition specified by an application submitted under 
subsection (a) of this section or a petitioner's misrepresentation of a 
material fact in that application. An adversely affected person 
(including a bargaining representative) may file a complaint under this 
subsection but the complaint must be filed not later than 12 months

        expertise in the specific field involved by submitting with the 
        petition an advisory opinion from that group or person;

        the petitioner consults with a labor organization with 
        expertise in the area of the skills and experience involved by 
        submitting with the petition with an advisory opinion from that 
        labor organization; or
          (C) for an alien applying to be classified as a nonimmigrant 
        under section 2318(a)(1)(A)(iii) or (2)(C)(ii) of this title

        with the appropriate labor organization representing the 
        alien's occupational peers and a management organization in the 
        area of the alien's ability.
  (2) An opinion by a labor organization about an alien referred to in 
paragraph (1)(C) of this subsection trying to enter the United States

rebuttal evidence. The Attorney General shall act on the petition not 
later than 14 days after the end of the 15-day period, or if rebuttal 
evidence is provided, not later than 14 days after receiving that 
evidence. The Attorney General may shorten a time period under this 
paragraph for emergency reasons unless the shorter period is an 
unreasonable burden on a participant in the process.
  (4) If a petitioner referred to in paragraph (1)(A) or (B) of this 
subsection establishes that an appropriate peer group (including a 
labor organization) does not exist, the Attorney General shall act on 
the petition without requiring an advisory opinion.

        given production or event; and

nongovernmental entity. The Attorney General shall give advisory 
opinions under this subsection the weight the Attorney General decides, 
in the Attorney General's sole discretion, is appropriate.
  (b) Waivers.--The Attorney General shall prescribe regulations to 
provide for the waiver of the consultation requirement under subsection 
(a)(1)(A) of this section for an alien admitted as a nonimmigrant under

organization.

        only after the petitioner consults with a labor organization 
        with expertise in the specific field of athletics or 
        entertainment involved by submitting with the petition an 
        advisory opinion from that labor organization; or
          (B) under section 2319(a)(1)(C) of this title, only after 
        consultation with labor organizations representing artists and 
        entertainers in the United States.

appropriate labor organization required by paragraph (1)(A) of this

and supporting documents to the national office of an appropriate labor 
organization not later than 5 days after receiving the petition. If the

after receiving the petition to submit a written advisory opinion or 
provide a letter stating that the person or organization has no

give the petitioner an opportunity, when appropriate, to provide 
rebuttal evidence. The Attorney General shall act on the petition not 
later than 14 days after the end of the 15-day period, or if rebuttal 
evidence is provided, not later than 14 days after receiving that

expedited consultation procedures for nonimmigrant--
          (A) artists and entertainers under section 2319 of this title 
        to accommodate the exigencies and scheduling of a given 
        production or event; and
          (B) athletes described by section 2319(a)(1)(A) of this title 
        in the case of emergency circumstances, including trades during

nongovernmental entity. The Attorney General shall give advisory 
opinions under this subsection the weight the Attorney General decides, 
in the Attorney General's sole discretion, is appropriate.
  (b) Waivers and Nonapplication.--(1) The Attorney General may waive--
          (A) in consideration of special circumstances, the 
        international recognition requirement of section

        described by the petition; and
          (2) employment of the alien to provide the labor or services 
        will not affect adversely the wages and working conditions of 
        United States workers similarly employed.
  (b) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe regulations based on 
findings in furtherance of the policy that aliens be admitted as 
temporary agricultural workers only if the conditions specified by 
subsection (a) of this section are satisfied.

Sec. 2503. Applications for certification

  (a) Deadline for Filing.--The Secretary of Labor may not require that 
an application for a certification under this chapter be filed more 
than 60 days before the first date the employer requires the labor or 
services of a temporary agricultural worker.
  (b) Notice of Deficiencies.--If an application does not meet the 
conditions for issuing a certification (except the conditions specified 
by section 2502(a)(1) of this title), the Secretary shall--
          (1) notify the employer in writing not later than 7 days 
        after the application is filed, giving the reasons the 
        application does not meet the conditions; and
          (2) allow the employer to submit promptly an amended 
        application.
  (c) Fee.--The Secretary may prescribe by regulation a fee to cover 
the reasonable costs of processing an application for certification.

Sec. 2504. Conditions for issuing certifications

  Not later than 20 days before the labor or services are first 
required, the Secretary of Labor shall issue a certification if the 
following conditions are met:
          (1) The conditions specified by section 2502(a) of this title 
        are met.
          (2) The employer has complied with the requirements for 
        certification, including requirements the Secretary prescribes 
        for recruiting United States workers.
          (3) The Secretary concludes that the employer has made 
        positive recruitment efforts within a multi-State region of 
        traditional or expected labor supply in which the Secretary 
        finds there are a significant number of qualified United States 
        workers who, if recruited, would be willing to work at the time 
        and place needed. Positive recruitment under this paragraph is 
        in addition to, and shall be conducted within the same time 
        period as, the circulation of the employer's job offer through 
        the interstate employment service system. The requirement to 
        engage in positive recruitment ends on the date the temporary 
        agricultural workers depart for the employer's place of 
        employment.
          (4) The employer does not have, or has not been provided with 
        referrals of, qualified United States workers who have 
        indicated their availability to perform the labor or services 
        on the terms of a job offer meeting the Secretary's 
        requirements. In considering whether a specific qualification 
        in a job offer is appropriate, the Secretary shall apply the 
        normal and accepted qualifications required by employers not 
        employing temporary agricultural workers in the same or 
        comparable occupations and crops.
          (5) The employer has provided the Secretary with satisfactory 
        assurances that if the employment for which the certification 
        is sought is not covered by a State workers' compensation law, 
        the employer will provide, at no cost to the worker, insurance 
        covering injury and disease arising out of and during the 
        worker's employment that will provide benefits at least equal 
        to those provided under the State workers' compensation law for 
        comparable employment.
          (6) There is no strike or lockout during a labor dispute 
        that, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, precludes 
        the certification.
          (7) The employer employed temporary agricultural workers 
        during the prior 2 years, and the Secretary has decided, after 
        notice and an opportunity for a hearing on the record, that the 
        employer during that period did not substantially violate a 
        material condition of the certification related to the 
        employment of nonimmigrant or United States workers. The 
        Secretary may decide not to approve a certification for not 
        more than 3 years for an employer who commits a violation 
        described by this paragraph.

Sec. 2505. Associations of agricultural producers

  (a) Permitted Filings.--An association of agricultural producers 
using agricultural services may file--
          (1) a petition under section 2314 of this title for an alien 
        applying to be classified as a temporary agricultural worker; 
        and
          (2) an application for a certification under this chapter.
  (b) Associations Acting as Employers.--If an association referred to 
in subsection (a) of this section is the joint or sole employer of a 
temporary agricultural worker, a certification granted under this 
chapter to the association may be used for the certified job 
opportunities of any of the members of the association. The worker may 
be transferred among the members to perform agricultural services of a 
temporary or seasonal nature for which the certification was granted.
  (c) Effect of Violations.--(1) If the Secretary of Labor has decided 
that a member of an association that is a joint employer of a temporary 
agricultural worker has committed an act resulting in a decision by the 
Secretary not to approve a certification of the member under section 
2504(7) of this title, the decision applies only to that member unless 
the Secretary decides that the association or another member 
participated in, or knew or had reason to know of, the violation.
  (2) If the Secretary has decided that an association that is a joint 
employer has committed an act resulting in a decision by the Secretary 
not to approve a certification of the association under section 2504(7) 
of this title, the decision applies only to the association unless the 
Secretary decides that a member participated in, or knew or had reason 
to know of, the violation.
  (3) If the Secretary has decided that an association, certified as 
the sole employer of a temporary agricultural worker, has committed an 
act resulting in a decision by the Secretary not to approve a 
certification of the association under section 2504(7) of this title, a 
member of the association, during the period the decision is in effect, 
may not be the beneficiary of the services of temporary agricultural 
workers in the commodity and occupation in which the worker was 
employed by the association whose certification was not approved, 
unless the member employs the workers in the commodity and occupation 
directly or through an association that is a joint employer of the 
workers with the member.

Sec. 2506. Housing

  (a) Requirement.--An employer shall provide housing for temporary 
agricultural workers as provided by regulations prescribed by the 
Secretary of Labor.
  (b) Regulations.--(1) Regulations prescribed under this section shall 
allow the employer, at the employer's option, to provide housing 
meeting applicable standards of the United States Government for 
temporary labor camps or to secure housing that meets applicable local 
standards for rental or public accommodations or other substantially 
similar class of habitation. In the absence of applicable local 
standards, State standards for those accommodations or that class of 
habitation shall apply. In the absence of applicable local and State 
standards, standards of the Government for temporary labor camps shall 
apply.
  (2) The regulations shall include specific requirements about housing 
for employees principally engaged in the range production of livestock.
  (3) When the prevailing practice in the area and occupation of 
intended employment is to provide family housing, the employer shall 
provide family housing to workers with families requesting it.
  (c) Exception.--This section does not require an employer to provide 
housing for workers not entitled to it under the temporary labor 
certification regulations in effect on June 1, 1986.

Sec. 2507. Expedited administrative review

  (a) Procedure for Expedited Review.--Regulations prescribed by the 
Secretary of Labor under this chapter shall provide for an expedited 
procedure for a review of a decision of the Secretary not to approve or 
to revoke a certification or, at the applicant's request, a de novo 
administrative hearing on the record on the decision.
  (b) Decisions on Availability of United States Workers.--(1) The 
Secretary shall make a new decision about an application for 
certification under this chapter expeditiously, but not later than 72 
hours after the time the new decision is requested, if the 
certification originally was not approved in any part because of the 
availability of able, willing, and qualified United States workers and 
they are not available at the time the labor or services are needed.
  (2) An employer asserting that a United States worker referred to the 
employer is not able, willing, or qualified has the burden of proving 
that the worker is not able, willing, or qualified because of 
employment-related reasons.

Sec. 2508. Disqualification of aliens for violating conditions of prior 
admission

  An alien may not be admitted to the United States as a temporary 
agricultural worker if, during the prior 5 years, the alien was 
admitted as a temporary agricultural worker and violated a term of that 
admission.

Sec. 2509. Enforcement authority of the Secretary of Labor

  The Secretary of Labor may take actions necessary to ensure that 
employers comply with the terms of employment under this chapter, 
including--
          (1) imposing appropriate penalties; and
          (2) seeking appropriate equitable relief, including specific 
        performance of contractual obligations.

Sec. 2510. Endorsement of entry and exit documentation

  The Attorney General shall provide for the endorsement of entry and 
exit documentation of temporary agricultural workers necessary to carry 
out this chapter and to provide notice under chapter 111 of this title.

Sec. 2511. Preemption of State and local law

  This chapter and sections 2101 and 2314 of this title preempt State 
and local law regulating the admissibility of nonimmigrant workers.

Sec. 2512. Biennial reports

  (a) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than November 6 of each even-
numbered year, the President shall submit a report on the temporary 
agricultural worker program under this chapter to the Committees on the 
Judiciary of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The report 
shall include--
          (1) the number of temporary agricultural workers permitted to 
        be employed under the program in each year;
          (2) the compliance of employers and temporary agricultural 
        workers with the terms of the program;
          (3) the impact of the program on the labor needs of United 
        States agricultural employers and on the wages and working 
        conditions of United States agricultural workers; and
          (4) recommendations for changing the program, including--
                  (A) improving the timeliness of decisions about the 
                admission of temporary agricultural workers under the 
                program;
                  (B) removing any economic disincentive to hiring 
                United States workers for jobs for which temporary 
                agricultural workers have been requested;
                  (C) improving cooperation among government agencies, 
                employers, employer associations, workers, unions, and 
                other worker associations to end the dependence of any 
                industry on a constant supply of temporary agricultural 
                workers; and
                  (D) the relative benefits to United States workers 
                and burdens on employers of the policy of requiring 
                employers, as a condition for certification under the 
                program, to continue to accept qualified United States 
                workers for employment after the date the temporary 
                agricultural workers depart for work with the employer.
  (b) Recommendations Consistent With Policy.--The recommendations 
under subsection (a)(4)(D) of this section shall be made in furtherance 
of the policy that aliens be admitted as temporary agricultural workers 
only if the conditions specified by section 2502(a) of this title are 
satisfied.

Sec. 2513. Approval of regulations

  In consultation with the Secretaries of Labor and Agriculture, the 
Attorney General shall approve all regulations prescribed under this 
chapter and section 2314 of this title.

Sec. 2514. Authorization of appropriations

  (a) General Authorizations.--Necessary amounts may be appropriated 
each fiscal year to--
          (1) the Secretary of Labor to make findings and issue 
        certifications under this chapter and section 4104(g)(2) of 
        this title; and
          (2) the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out the Secretary's 
        duties and powers under section 2314 of this title related to 
        this chapter.
  (b) Specific Authorizations.--Not more than $10,000,000 may be 
appropriated each fiscal year--
          (1) to recruit United States workers for temporary labor and 
        services that otherwise might be performed by temporary 
        agricultural workers; and
          (2) to monitor the terms under which temporary agricultural 
        workers and United States workers employed by the same employer 
        are employed in the United States.

  As soon as it is discovered that an alien crewmember has landed 
unlawfully in the United States from a vessel or aircraft, the owner, 
agent, master, commanding officer, or consignee of the vessel or 
aircraft shall--
          (1) report the unlawful landing in writing to an immigration 
        officer; and
          (2) give the immigration officer a description of the 
        crewmember and information likely to lead to taking the 
        crewmember into custody.

Sec. 2703. Conditional permits to land temporarily

  (a) General Requirement.--An alien crewmember may land temporarily in 
the United States only as provided under this section or section 
2705(b), 6122, or 6123 of this title.
  (b) Authority to Grant Permits.--Under regulations the Attorney 
General prescribes, an immigration officer may grant an alien 
crewmember a conditional permit to land temporarily in the United 
States if the officer finds, after inspection, that the crewmember--
          (1) is a nonimmigrant under section 2305 of this title;
          (2) otherwise is admissible; and
          (3) has agreed to accept the permit.
  (c) Period of Validity.--A permit granted under subsection (b) of 
this section is valid for not more than--
          (1) the period (but not more than 29 days) that the vessel or 
        aircraft on which the alien crewmember arrived remains in port 
        if the immigration officer is satisfied the crewmember intends 
        to leave on that vessel or aircraft; or
          (2) 29 days if the immigration officer is satisfied the 
        crewmember intends to leave on another vessel or aircraft 
        within the period for which the crewmember is allowed to land.
  (d) Revocation.--(1) If an alien is granted a permit for a period 
under subsection (c)(1) of this section, and an immigration officer 
then decides the alien is not a crewmember or does not intend to leave 
on the vessel or aircraft on which the alien arrived, the immigration 
officer, under regulations prescribed by the Attorney General, may--
          (A) revoke the permit;
          (B) take the alien into custody; and
          (C) if practicable, require the master or commanding officer 
        of the vessel or aircraft on which the alien arrived to detain 
        the alien on the vessel or aircraft.
  (2) The owner of the vessel or aircraft on which an alien, detained 
under paragraph (1)(C) of this subsection, arrived in the United States 
shall pay the costs of detaining and deporting the alien.
  (3) An alien detained under paragraph (1)(C) of this subsection is 
not entitled to a deportation proceeding under section 6532 of this 
title.

Sec. 2704. Control of alien crewmembers

  (a) Detention and Deportation.--The owner, agent, master, commanding 
officer, charterer, or consignee of a vessel or aircraft arriving in 
the United States from a place outside the United States shall--
          (1) detain an alien crewmember on the vessel, or, at the 
        expense of the aircraft owner, detain an alien crewmember of an 
        aircraft at a place an immigration officer designates, until--
                  (A) an immigration officer inspects, and a medical 
                officer examines, the alien crewmember; and
                  (B) the alien crewmember is--
                          (i) granted a conditional permit to land 
                        temporarily under section 2703(b) of this 
                        title; or
                          (ii) allowed to land temporarily under 
                        section 2705(b) or 6123 of this title for 
                        medical or hospital treatment; and
          (2) deport an alien crewmember if required by an immigration 
        officer, whether before or after the crewmember is allowed to 
        land temporarily under section 2703(b), 2705(b), or 6123 of 
        this title.
  (b) Proof of Failure To Detain or Deport.--Except as the Attorney 
General prescribes by regulation, proof that the name of an alien 
crewmember is not on the outgoing manifest of the vessel or aircraft on 
which the crewmember arrived in the United States from a place outside 
the United States, or that the master or commanding officer of the 
vessel or aircraft reported the crewmember as a deserter, is prima 
facie evidence of the failure to detain or deport the crewmember.
  (c) Deportation on Another Vessel or Aircraft.--(1) If the Attorney 
General finds that deporting an alien crewmember under this section on 
the vessel or aircraft on which the crewmember arrived is impracticable 
or will cause unreasonable hardship to the crewmember, the Attorney 
General may require the crewmember to be deported from any port on 
another vessel or aircraft of the same owner unless the Attorney 
General finds deportation on such a vessel or aircraft to be 
impracticable. The owner of the vessel or aircraft on which the 
crewmember arrived shall pay the costs of deporting the crewmember as 
required by this subsection, including the costs of transferring the 
crewmember within the United States under conditions the Attorney 
General prescribes. The vessel or aircraft may be cleared only after 
the costs are paid or the Attorney General is satisfied that payment is 
guaranteed.
  (2) A transfer under this subsection is not a landing under this 
title.

Sec. 2705. Alien crewmembers afflicted with certain disabilities and 
diseases

  (a) Employment Prohibitions.--An alien crewmember afflicted with 
feeble-mindedness, insanity, epilepsy, tuberculosis, leprosy, or a 
dangerous contagious disease may not be employed on a vessel or 
aircraft carrying passengers when the vessel or aircraft arrives in the 
United States from a place outside the United States.
  (b) Hospitalization and Observation.--An alien crewmember found on 
arrival at a port in the United States to be afflicted with feeble-
mindedness, insanity, epilepsy, tuberculosis, leprosy, or a dangerous 
contagious disease shall be treated in a hospital designated by the 
immigration officer in charge of the port. An alien crewmember 
suspected of being afflicted may be removed from the vessel or aircraft 
on which the alien crewmember arrived to an appropriate place for 
observation to enable an examining medical officer to decide whether 
the crewmember is afflicted.
  (c) Payment of Costs.--The owner, agent, master, commanding officer, 
or consignee of the vessel or aircraft on which the alien crewmember 
arrived shall pay all costs incurred under subsection (b) of this 
section, including burial if the crewmember dies. The costs may not be 
deducted from the pay of the crewmember. The vessel or aircraft may be 
cleared only after the costs are paid or payment is guaranteed and the 
Secretary of the Treasury is notified by the immigration officer in 
charge of the port.
  (d) Returning an Incurable Crewmember.--When the immigration officer 
in charge of the port is satisfied that a crewmember hospitalized under 
subsection (b) of this section cannot be cured within a reasonable 
time, the owner of the vessel or aircraft on which the crewmember 
arrived shall return the crewmember or pay the costs of returning the 
crewmember under conditions the Attorney General prescribes to ensure 
that the crewmember is cared for properly and the spread of contagious 
disease is prevented.

Sec. 2706. Discharging alien crewmembers

  A person may pay off or discharge an alien crewmember (except a 
crewmember lawfully admitted for permanent residence) employed on a 
vessel or aircraft arriving in the United States only with the consent 
of the Attorney General.

                     SUBCHAPTER II--LONGSHORE WORK

Sec. 2721. Definition

  In this subchapter, ``longshore work''--
          (1) means an activity in the United States or the coastal 
        waters of the United States related to--
                  (A) loading or unloading cargo of a vessel;
                  (B) operating cargo-related equipment; and
                  (C) handling mooring lines on the dock when the 
                vessel is made fast or let go; but
          (2) does not include loading or unloading cargo for which the 
        Secretary of Transportation has prescribed regulations under 
        section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 
        U.S.C. 1321), chapter 37 of title 46, section 105 or 106 of the 
        Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (49 App. U.S.C. 1804, 
        1805), or section 4106 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (Public 
        Law 101-380, 104 Stat. 513) on--
                  (A) handling or stowing that cargo;
                  (B) manning, and the duties, qualifications, and

Sec. 2723. Prevailing practice

  (a) General.--(1) An alien crewmember performing a particular 
activity of longshore work in or around a port is serving in a capacity 
required for normal operation and service on a vessel under section 
2305(a) of this title if--
          (A) each collective bargaining agreement for that port 
        covering at least 30 percent of the employees performing 
        longshore work allows that activity to be performed by alien 
        crewmembers; or
          (B)(i) there is no collective bargaining agreement for the 
        port covering at least 30 percent of the employees performing 
        longshore work; and
          (ii) except as provided by paragraph (2) of this subsection, 
        an employer of the alien crewmember or the employer's

        subsection (b)(1) of this section with the Secretary of Labor 
        at least 14 days before the date the activity will be performed

        later than the date the activity will be performed.
  (2) An employer must file an attestation under paragraph (1)(B)(ii) 
of this subsection for a particular activity of longshore work 
involving the use of an automated self-loading conveyor belt or vacuum-

        alien crewmember is not being employed for that activity--
                  (i) during a strike or lockout in a labor dispute; or
                  (ii) to influence an election of a bargaining

        section 2701 of this title for an alien crewmember classified 
        as a nonimmigrant under section 2305(a) of this title for whom 
        an attestation under subsection (a) of this section or section 
        2725(b) of this title is filed; and
          (2) for each employer a copy of--
                  (A) the attestation and accompanying documentation; 
                and
                  (B) each list filed for the employer under section 
                2701 of this title and described by clause (1) of this 
                subsection.
  (d) Complaints.--(1) Any adversely affected person, including a 
bargaining representative, association the Secretary decides is 
appropriate, or other adversely affected person as provided under 
regulations of the Secretary, may file a complaint--

  (b) General.--(1) An alien crewmember preforming a particular 
activity of longshore work in or about a port is serving in a capacity 
required for normal operation and service on a vessel under section

crewmember on a vessel to perform a particular activity of longshore 
work, if--
          (A) that vessel is registered in a foreign country that by 
        law, regulation, or practice does not prohibit that activity by 
        crewmembers on United States vessels; or
          (B) nationals of a foreign country that, by law, regulation, 
        or practice does not prohibit that activity by crewmembers on 
        United States vessels, hold a majority ownership interest in 
        that vessel.
  (2) The Secretary of State shall compile and annually maintain, under 
section 553 of title 5, a list, by particular activity of longshore 
work, of foreign countries in which crewmembers on United States 
vessels are prohibited by law, regulation, or practice from performing 
a particular activity of longshore work.

Sec. 2725. Longshore work in Alaska

  (a) Definitions.--In this section--
          (1) ``contract stevedoring companies'' means those 
        stevedoring companies licensed to do business in Alaska that 
        meet the requirements of section 32 of the Longshore and Harbor 
        Workers' Compensation Act (33 U.S.C. 932).
          (2) ``employer'' includes any agent or representative 
        designated by the employer.
  (b) General.--(1) An alien crewmember performing a particular 
activity of longshore work at a particular location in Alaska is 
serving in a capacity required for normal operation and service on a 
vessel under section 2305(a) of this title if an employer of the alien 
crewmember files an attestation with the Secretary of Labor at least 30 
days before the date the activity will be performed or at least 24 
hours before the activity will be performed if the employer shows that 
the employer reasonably could not have anticipated the need to file an 
attestation for that location at that time.
  (2) The attestation filed under paragraph (1) of this subsection 
shall provide evidence that--
          (A) the employer will request from the parties to whom notice 
        has been given under clause (D) (ii) and (iii) of this 
        paragraph United States longshore workers who, under industry 
        standards in Alaska, including safety considerations, are 
        qualified and available in sufficient numbers to perform the 
        activity at the particular time and location, except that--
                  (i) when 2 or more contract stevedoring companies 
                have signed a joint collective bargaining agreement 
                with a single labor organization described by clause 
                (D)(i) of this paragraph, the employer may request 
                longshore workers from only one of those companies; and
                  (ii) a request to a private dock operator for 
                longshore workers may be made only for longshore work 
                to be performed at that dock and only if the operator 
                meets the requirements of section 32 of the Longshore 
                and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (33 U.S.C. 932);
          (B) the employer will employ all those United States 
        longshore workers made available under clause (A) of this 
        paragraph who, under industry standards in Alaska, including 
        safety considerations, are qualified and available in 
        sufficient numbers and who are needed to perform the longshore 
        activity at the particular time and location;
          (C) using alien crewmembers for that activity is not intended 
        or designed to influence an election of a bargaining 
        representative for workers in Alaska; and
          (D) the employer has given notice of the attestation--
                  (i) to labor organizations recognized as exclusive 
                bargaining representatives of United States longshore 
                workers within the meaning of the National Labor 
                Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 141 et seq.) and that make, or 
                intend to make, workers available at the particular 
                location where the longshore work is to be performed;
                  (ii) to contract stevedoring companies that employ or 
                intend to employ United States longshore workers at the 
                location; and
                  (iii) to operators of private docks at which the 
                employer will use longshore workers.
  (3)(A) During the period that an attestation an employer files under 
paragraph (1) of this subsection is valid, the employer must request 
and employ United States longshore workers as provided under paragraph 
(2) before using alien crewmembers to perform the activity specified in 
the attestation. However, an employer is not required to request United 
States longshore workers from a person who has given the employer 
written notice that the person does not intend to make United States 
longshore workers available at the particular location where the 
longshore work is to be performed.
  (B) If a person that provided notice under subparagraph (A) of this 
paragraph later gives the employer written notice that the person is 
prepared to make available United States longshore workers who, under 
industry standards in Alaska, including safety considerations, are 
qualified and available in sufficient numbers to perform the longshore 
activity at the particular location where the longshore work is to be 
performed, the obligation of the employer to that person under 
paragraph (2) (A) and (B) of this subsection begins 60 days after the 
date the notice was given under this clause.
  (4)(A) An employer filing an attestation under paragraph (1) of this 
subsection is not required--
          (i) to hire less than a full work unit of United States 
        longshore workers needed to perform the longshore activity;
          (ii) to provide overnight accommodations for the longshore 
        workers while employed; or
          (iii) to provide transportation to the particular location 
        where the longshore activity will be performed, except where--
                  (I) surface transportation is available;
                  (II) that transportation may be accomplished safely;
                  (III) travel time to the vessel is not more than one-
                half hour each way; and
                  (IV) travel distance to the vessel from the point of 
                embarkation is not more than 5 miles.
  (B) In the case of Wide Bay, Alaska, and Klawock/Craig, Alaska, the 
travel time and distance described by clause (A)(iii) of this paragraph 
are extended to 45 minutes and 7.5 miles, respectively, unless the 
person responding to the request for longshore workers agrees to the 
lesser time and distance limitations described by clause (A)(iii).
  (5) Except as provided by section 2723(c)-(e) of this title, an 
attestation filed under paragraph (1) of this subsection--
          (A) expires at the end of the one-year period beginning on 
        the date specified in the attestation that the employer 
        anticipates the longshore work will begin; and
          (B) applies to alien crewmembers arriving in the United 
        States during that period if the owner, agent, master, 
        commanding officer, or consignee states in each list provided 
        under section 2701 of this title that the employer continues to 
        comply with the conditions in the attestation.
  (c) Application of Section 2723.--(1) Except as provided by paragraph 
(2) of this subsection, section 2723(b)(3)-(f)(2) of this title applies 
to an attestation filed under subsection (b)(1) of this section.
  (2) Section 2723 of this title applies to the use of alien 
crewmembers to perform longshore work in Alaska involving the use of an 
automated self-loading conveyor belt or vacuum-actuated system on a 
vessel.
  (d) Regulations.--The Secretary shall prescribe regulations necessary 
to carry out this section.

Sec. 2726. Relationship to other laws and application

  This section does not affect--
          (1) the meaning or scope of longshore work under another 
        provision of law, a collective bargaining agreement, or an 
        international agreement; or
          (2) the performance of longshore work by nationals of the 
        United States.

 2902.  Attestation requirements.
 2903.  State plans.
 2904.  Public availability of information.
 2905.  Complaints, investigations, and penalties.

Sec. 2901. Definition

  In this chapter, ``facility'' includes an employer that employs 
registered nurses in a home setting.

Sec. 2902. Attestation requirements

  (a) General.--Except as provided by subsection (b) of this section, a 
facility seeking to employ a nonimmigrant registered nurse under 
section 2325 of this title must file with the Secretary of Labor an 
attestation stating the following:
          (1) A substantial disruption in the delivery of health care 
        services of the facility would occur through no fault of the 
        facility without the services of a nonimmigrant registered 
        nurse.
          (2) Employment of a nonimmigrant registered nurse will not 
        adversely affect the wages and working conditions of other 
        registered nurses similarly employed.
          (3) A nonimmigrant registered nurse employed by the facility 
        will be paid at the wage rate paid for other registered nurses 
        similarly employed by the facility.
          (4) The facility--
                  (A) has taken or is taking timely and significant 
                steps to recruit and retain sufficient registered 
                nurses who are citizens of the United States or 
                immigrants authorized to perform nursing services, to 
                remove as quickly as reasonably possible the dependence 
                of the facility on nonimmigrant registered nurses; or
                  (B) is subject to a State plan for the recruitment 
                and retention of nurses approved under section 2903 of 
                this title.
          (5) There is no strike or lockout in the course of a labor 
        dispute, and the employment of nonimmigrant registered nurses 
        is not intended or designed to influence an election for a 
        bargaining representative for registered nurses of the 
        facility.
          (6) At the time of filing the petition under section 2325(c) 
        of this title, the facility has given notice of the filing to 
        the bargaining representative of the registered nurses employed 
        by the facility or, if there is no bargaining representative, 
        to the registered nurses employed by the facility by posting 
        the notice in conspicuous locations.
  (b) Waivers.--For a nonimmigrant registered nurse performing services 
at a worksite (except at the employer's worksite or at a worksite 
controlled by the employer) and for whom the employer has filed an 
attestation under subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary may 
waive the requirement to file an attestation for the worksite as may be 
appropriate--
          (1) to avoid duplicative attestations;
          (2) in temporary, emergency situations;
          (3) for information the attestor does not know; or
          (4) for other good cause.
  (c) Fault if Facility Has Laid Off Nurses.--A facility does not meet 
subsection (a)(1) of this section if the facility has laid off 
registered nurses within the prior year. However, a facility that lays 
off a registered nurse (except a staff nurse) meets subsection (a)(1) 
if the facility has attested that it will not replace the nurse with a 
nonimmigrant registered nurse described by section 2325(b) of this 
section for one year after the date of the layoff.
  (d) Significant Steps To Recruit and Retain Nurses.--(1) Each of the 
following is a significant step reasonably designed to recruit and 
retain registered nurses meeting the requirement of subsection 
(a)(4)(A) of this section:
          (A) operating a training program for registered nurses at the 
        facility or financing (or providing participation in) a 
        training program for registered nurses elsewhere.
          (B) providing career development programs and other methods 
        of facilitating health care workers to become registered 
        nurses.
          (C) paying registered nurses at a rate higher than that 
        currently being paid to registered nurses similarly employed in 
        the geographic area.
          (D) providing adequate support services to free registered 
        nurses from administrative and other non-nursing duties.
          (E) providing reasonable opportunities for meaningful salary 
        advancement by registered nurses.
  (2) Paragraph (1) of this subsection is not an exclusive list of the 
steps that may be taken to meet the requirement of subsection (a)(4)(A) 
of this section. A facility is not required to take more than one step 
if the facility can demonstrate that taking an additional step is not 
reasonable.
  (e) Effectiveness of Attestation.--(1) Subject to section 2905 of 
this title, an attestation under subsection (a) of this section--
          (A) expires at the end of the one-year period beginning on 
        the date the attestation is filed with the Secretary; and
          (B) applies to petitions filed during that one-year period if 
        the facility states in each petition filed under section 
        2325(c) of this title that it continues to comply with the 
        conditions in the attestation.
  (2) A facility may file a single petition to meet the requirements of 
this section for more than one registered nurse.

Sec. 2903. State plans

  The Secretary of Labor shall provide for a procedure under which a 
State may submit to the Secretary of Labor a plan for the recruitment 
and retention of citizens of the United States and immigrants 
authorized to perform nursing services as registered nurses in 
facilities in the State. A plan may include counseling and educating 
health workers and other individuals about employment opportunities 
available to registered nurses. Annually in consultation with the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Labor shall 
provide for approving or disapproving the State plan as provided by 
section 2902(a)(4)(B) of this title. A plan may be approved in regard 
to a facility only if the plan provides for taking significant steps 
described by section 2902(a)(4)(A) of this title to recruit and retain 
registered nurses at that facility.

Sec. 2904. Public availability of information

  The Secretary of Labor shall compile and make available for public 
examination in a timely manner in the District of Columbia--
          (1) a list of facilities that have filed petitions to employ 
        nonimmigrant registered nurses applying to be classified under 
        section 2325 of this title; and
          (2) for each facility, a copy of the petitions, attestations, 
        and accompanying documentation filed by each facility.

Sec. 2905. Complaints, investigations, and penalties

  (a) Complaints and Investigations.--(1) The Secretary of Labor shall 
establish a procedure for receiving, investigating, and disposing of 
complaints filed about a facility's failure to satisfy a condition 
attested to, or a facility's misrepresentation of a material fact, in 
an attestation.
  (2) Any person adversely affected by an attestation under section 
2902(a) of this title, including a bargaining representative, 
association the Secretary decides is appropriate, or other adversely 
affected person, may file a complaint with the Secretary. The Secretary 
shall conduct an investigation if there is reasonable cause to believe 
that the facility does not meet a condition attested to.
  (3) Not later than 180 days after a complaint is filed, the Secretary 
shall decide whether a basis exists to make a finding described by 
subsection (b) of this section. If the Secretary decides that a basis 
exists, the Secretary shall give notice of that decision to the 
interested parties and an opportunity for a hearing on the complaint 
not later than 60 days after making the decision.
  (b) Findings and Penalties.--(1) If the Secretary finds, after notice 
and an opportunity for a hearing, that a facility has failed to satisfy 
a condition attested to or has misrepresented a material fact in an 
attestation, the Secretary--
          (A) shall notify the Attorney General of the finding;
          (B) may impose other administrative remedies, including a 
        civil penalty of not more than $1,000 for each violation; and
          (C) if the facility has not paid the prevailing wage as 
        attested to under section 2902(a)(3) of this title, shall order 
        the facility to pay an amount of back wages necessary to comply 
        with section 2902(a)(3).
  (2) For at least one year after receiving notice under paragraph 
(1)(A) of this subsection, the Attorney General may not approve a 
petition filed under subsection 2325(c) of this title by that facility 
for the employment of a nonimmigrant registered nurse.

        of visas allocated under sections 4104 and 4106.
  (2) Paragraph (1) of this subsection does not limit the number of 
visas that may be granted--
          (A) to natives of a foreign country or dependent area under

        visas for those natives under sections 4104 and 4106 of this 
        title;
          (B) to natives of a foreign country or dependent area under

        to the numerical limitation established under subsection (a)(1) 
        of this section; and
          (B) 25 percent of the 77 percent shall be allocated for a 
        foreign country or dependent area subject to paragraph (1) of 
        this subsection only to the extent the total number of visas 
        granted under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph to natives of 
        the country or area is less than 77 percent of the maximum 
        number of visas that may be allocated under section 4103(c) of

        join an alien parent of the child, the child may be charged to

                  (A) the parent has received or qualifies for an 
                immigrant visa;
                  (B) necessary to prevent the separation of the child 
                from the parent; and
                  (C) immigration charged to the foreign country to 
                which the parent has been or would be chargeable has 
                not reached the numerical limitation established by 
                section 4111(a)(1) of this title.
          (2) When an alien is chargeable to a foreign country 
        different from that of the spouse of the alien, the alien may 
        be charged to the foreign country of the spouse the alien is 
        accompanying or following to join if--
                  (A) the spouse has received or qualifies for an 
                immigrant visa;
                  (B) necessary to prevent the separation of the alien

        born in the foreign country of which the alien is a citizen or 
        subject. If the alien is not a citizen or subject of a foreign 
        country, the alien is deemed to have been born in the last 
        foreign country in which the consular officer decides that the 
        alien resided.
          (4) An alien born in a foreign country in which neither 
        parent of the alien was born and in which neither parent 
        resides at the time of the birth of the alien may be charged to 
        the foreign country of either parent.
          (5) An alien born in a dependent area of a foreign country,

                of age, as provided under the laws of the State in 
                which the alien and the sponsor will reside; and

of a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for 
permanent residence only if--
          (1) 5 years have passed since the alien had become an alien

        this title as a spouse of a citizen of the United States or an 
        alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence because of a 
        marriage the Attorney General decides was entered into to evade 
        the immigration laws; or

        laws of the place where the marriage took place;

  The Attorney General may revoke at any time a petition approved by 
the Attorney General under section 4301(c) of this title if the 
Attorney General considers that there is good cause to revoke. 
Revocation is effective as of the date of approval of the petition if 
notice of the revocation is mailed to the last known address of the 
petitioner and the Secretary of State notifies the alien for whom the 
petition was filed of the revocation before the alien begins traveling 
to the United States. If notice is not given as required by this 
section and the alien applies for admission to the United States, the 
admissibility of the alien shall be decided as provided by sections 
6103, 6331(a)-(d) and (f)-(h), and 6332 of this title.

regular return of the citizen to the United States from the service, 
employment, or business, but for not more than 3 years.
  (b) Revocation.--A consular officer or the Secretary of State may 
revoke at any time an immigrant visa or other documentation granted to

        and that were beyond the immigrant's control;
          (2) the consular officer finds the immigrant is eligible for 
        an immigrant visa; and
          (3) the immigrant pays again the statutory fees for an 
        application and immigrant visa.
  (b) Granting Unused Visas.--An eligible immigrant may be granted an 
unused immigrant visa that the immigrant qualifies for if the visa 
originally was granted to another immigrant--
          (1) deported after being excluded from admission;

          (3) as a preference immigrant and the immigrant is found not 
        to be a preference immigrant.

Sec. 4316. Reentry permits

  (a) Applications.--An alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence

application must--
          (1) state the length of, and reason for, the departure;
          (2) state other information and be accompanied by photographs 
        of the applicant that the Attorney General prescribes by 
        regulation; and
          (3) be made under oath.
  (b) Granting Reentry Permits.--The Attorney General may grant the 
reentry permit if the Attorney General finds--
          (1) the application is made in good faith; and
          (2) the alien's departure is not contrary to the interests of 
        the United States.
  (c) Period of Validity.--A reentry permit may be granted for not more 
than 2 years from the date it is granted and may not be renewed. The 
alien may use the permit for any number of reentries into the United 
States. The alien shall surrender the permit to the Attorney General 
when the permit expires.
  (d) Presentation of Reentry Permit on Returning to the United 
States.--An alien granted a reentry permit shall present the permit to 
the immigration officer at the port of entry on returning to the United 
States. The immigration officer shall accept the permit as a substitute 
for any visa otherwise required under this title. The permit has no 
effect under the immigration laws except to establish that the alien is 
returning from a temporary departure. However, this section does not 
require a reentry permit as the only way that an alien may establish a 
return from a temporary departure.
  (e) Form of Applications and Permits.--The Attorney General shall 
prescribe by regulation the form of the application and reentry permit, 
except that the permit shall be in a form to identify the alien 
completely and shall be printed on distinctive safety paper.

Sec. 4317. Burden of proof

  An individual applying for an immigrant visa or other documentation 
required for entering the United States as an immigrant has the burden 
of proving that the individual is eligible to be granted the visa or 
documentation. A consular officer may grant the visa or documentation 
only if satisfied that the individual is eligible to receive the visa 
or documentation.

Sec. 4318. Documentation waivers

  The Attorney General may waive sections 4311(a)(1) and 6313(a)(2) and 
(c) of this title for an immigrant who has an immigrant visa and 
otherwise is admissible if the Attorney General is satisfied that the 
immigrant did not know, and by reasonable diligence, could not have 
known, of the immigrant's excludability--
          (1) before the vessel or aircraft on which the alien came to 
        the United States left the last port outside the United States 
        and outside foreign contiguous territory; or
          (2) for an immigrant coming from foreign contiguous 
        territory, before the immigrant applied for admission.

section, the Attorney General shall notify the spouse, son, or daughter 
about this subchapter and the requirements of section 4503 of this

          (2) a record of entry into the United States that the

          (4) additional information to assist the immigration officer

        States or an alien, and if an alien, whether the individual is 
        excludable.

alien's representative may submit a written statement and additional 
information for consideration by the Attorney General.

          (B) after consulting with appropriate security agencies of

        safety, or security.

parole, supervised release, or probation or may be arrested or 
imprisoned again for the same offense).
  (b) Release from Custody.--The Attorney General may release an alien 
taken into custody under subsection (a) of this section only if--

Agreement Act), to deny admission of an individual to the United States 
as a representative to the United Nations if the President decides that 
the individual has been found to have been engaged in espionage 
activities directed against the United States or its allies and may 
pose a threat to the security interests of the United States. The 
President may waive this section if the President decides, and notifies 
Congress, that the waiver is in the security interests of the United 
States.

               SUBCHAPTER II--ADMISSION OF CERTAIN ALIENS

Sec. 6121. Lawfully admitted aliens returning after temporary absence

admitted for permanent residence and returning after a temporary 
absence, without regard to section 4311(a) or subchapter I of chapter 
63 of this title (except sections 6308, 6309, and 6312), if the alien--
          (1) left the United States voluntarily and not under an order

          (2) is returning to a lawful unrelinquished domicile of 7 
        consecutive years.

not limit the authority of the Attorney General under section 4311(b) 
of this title.

  (a) Granting Nonimmigrant Visas.--An alien applying for a 
nonimmigrant visa who a consular officer believes is ineligible for the 
visa under section 2121(a) of this title or excludable under subchapter 
I of chapter 63 of this title (except sections 6308(a)(1)(A), (2), and 
(3), and (c), and 6309) may be granted a nonimmigrant visa and admitted 
temporarily as a nonimmigrant if the Attorney General approves a 
recommendation by the officer or the Secretary of State that the alien 
be admitted temporarily despite the alien's inadmissibility.
  (b) Admissions.--An alien inadmissible under section 2121(a) of this 
title or excludable under subchapter I of chapter 63 of this title 
(except sections 6308(a)(1)(A), (2), and (3), and (c), and 6309) may be 
admitted temporarily as a nonimmigrant if the alien--
          (1) has the appropriate documentation; or
          (2) is granted a waiver of the documentation requirements.
  (c) Conditions To Control Admission and Return.--The Attorney General

the Attorney General, for an emergency or other reasons strictly in the 
public interest, may parole temporarily into the United States an alien 
applying for admission. However, if the alien is a refugee, the 
Attorney General may parole the alien only if the Attorney General 
finds compelling reasons in the public interest requiring the alien to 
be paroled instead of admitted as a refugee. Parole of an alien under 
this section--
          (1) is subject to conditions the Attorney General may 
        prescribe; and
          (2) is not an admission to the United States.
  (b) End of Parole.--When the Attorney General is of the opinion that 
the purposes of the parole have been served, the alien immediately 
shall return or be returned to the custody from which the alien was 
paroled. Thereafter, the alien's application for admission shall 
continue to be considered in the same way as the application of any 
other alien for admission.

Sec. 6124. Accredited officials of foreign governments

  On a reciprocal basis, an accredited official of a government of a 
foreign country, and the official's immediate family, attendants, 
servants, and personal employees, may be admitted for immediate and

subchapter I of chapter 63 of this title (except section 6308(a)-(c)).

                  (B) to have had a physical or mental disorder and a 
                history of behavior associated with the disorder that 
                has posed a threat to the property, safety, or welfare 
                of the alien or others and is likely to recur or to 
                lead to other harmful behavior; or

including filing a bond, that the Attorney General may prescribe by

Sec. 6303. Protection and guardianship of aliens excluded for health or

  An alien shall be excluded from admission to the United States if--
          (1) the alien is accompanying another alien ordered excluded 
        and deported and certified to be helpless because of sickness, 
        disability, or infancy under section 6104(a)(2)(B) of this 
        title; and

States if the consular officer believes, at the time of the application 
for a visa, or the Attorney General believes, at the time of the 
application for admission or change of status, that the alien is likely 
at any time to become a public charge.
  (b) Admission on Bond.--(1) The Attorney General may admit an alien

        harmless against the alien's becoming a public charge.

naturalized, or dies, the bond ends and the security held to secure 
performance, except to the extent forfeited for a violation of the 
bond, shall be returned to the person providing it or to the person's 
legal representative.
  (3) The Attorney General may bring a civil action on the bond in the

State, territory, possession, political subdivision, or district in

States illegally

  (a) General.--An alien shall be deported if the alien--
          (1) was excludable at the time of entry or change of status 
        under a law in effect at that time;
          (2) entered the United States--
                  (A) without being inspected; or
                  (B) at a time or place not designated by an 
                immigration officer; or

        direct result of the fraud or misrepresentation.

resulting from the fraud or misrepresentation.

        after the alien's entry; or
          (B) the Attorney General is satisfied that the alien failed 
        to fulfill the alien's marital agreement that, in the opinion 
        of the Attorney General, was made to obtain entry into the 
        United States as an immigrant.
  (2) Paragraph (1)(A) of this subsection does not apply to an alien

does not marry the citizen who filed the petition for the alien under 
section 2309(b) of this title. If they do not leave, they shall be 
deported.

        under section 9108 of this title; or

applicable period.
  (d) Termination of Conditional Permanent Resident Status.--An alien 
lawfully admitted for permanent residence on a conditional basis under

If it is impracticable for the alien to attend because of mental 
incompetence, the proceeding may be conducted without the alien. The 
Attorney General shall prescribe safeguards for the rights and 
privileges of an alien who does not attend because of mental 
incompetence.
  (2) If an alien has been given a reasonable opportunity to attend, 
and without reasonable cause does not attend or remain in attendance, 
the special inquiry officer may conduct the proceeding and decide on 
the alien's deportation as if the alien had attended.
  (g) Conducting Proceedings.--(1) The special inquiry officer 
conducting a proceeding shall administer oaths, present and receive 
evidence, and interrogate, examine, and cross-examine the alien and 
witnesses. If the Attorney General believes it will aid in making a 
decision, the Attorney General may require, specifically or by 
regulation, in a case or class of cases, that an additional immigration 
officer be assigned to present the evidence for the Government. The 
additional immigration officer may present evidence and interrogate, 
examine, and cross-examine the alien and witnesses. The assignment of 
an additional immigration officer does not affect the authority of the 
special inquiry officer conducting the proceeding.
  (2) The alien shall have a reasonable opportunity to examine the 
evidence against the alien, present evidence, and cross-examine 
witnesses presented by the Government.
  (h) Burden of Proof.--The alien has the burden of proof of 
establishing the alien's time, place, and manner of entry into the 
United States. In presenting the proof, the alien is entitled to the 
production of the alien's visa or other entry document and, unless 
considered confidential by the Attorney General, any other relevant 
record in the custody of the Attorney General. An alien who fails to 
sustain the burden of proof is presumed to be in the United States in 
violation of law.
  (i) Decisions and Orders.--If authorized by the Attorney General, the 
special inquiry officer shall make decisions on the deportability of 
aliens and issue orders of deportation. A decision that an alien is 
deportable may be made only on a record made in a proceeding before a 
special inquiry officer, and is valid only if based on reasonable, 
substantial, and probative evidence. If an alien is ordered deported 
under any law or treaty, the decision of the Attorney General is final.
  (j) Deportation Ordered in Absentia.--(1) An alien who does not 
attend the alien's proceeding under this section shall be ordered 
deported in absentia, if the Attorney General establishes by clear, 
unequivocal, and convincing evidence that--
          (A) the notice required by subsection (d)(3) and (4) of this 
        section was provided; and
          (B) the alien is deportable.
  (2) The notice referred to in paragraph (1)(A) of this subsection is 
sufficient if provided at the most recent address provided under 
subsection (d)(2)(F) of this section. No notice is required if the 
alien has not provided the address required by subsection (d)(2)(F).
  (3)(A) A deportation order issued under this subsection may be 
rescinded only on a motion to reopen--
          (i) filed not later than 180 days after the date of the order 
        if the alien demonstrates that the failure to attend was 
        because of exceptional circumstances; or
          (ii) filed at any time if the alien demonstrates that the 
        alien did not receive the notice required by subsection (d)(3) 
        and (4) of this section or that the alien was in the custody of 
        a State or the Government and did not attend through no fault 
        of the alien.
  (B) A motion filed under this paragraph stays the deportation of the 
alien pending disposition of the motion.
  (4) Notwithstanding section 6535 of this title, a petition for review 
under section 6535 of a deportation order issued in absentia under this 
subsection--
          (A) must be filed not later than 60 days (or 30 days if the 
        alien has been convicted of an aggravated felony) after the 
        date of the final order of deportation; and
          (B) except as provided by section 6535(b)(5) of this title, 
        shall be limited to the issues of--
                  (i) the validity of the notice provided to the alien;
                  (ii) the reasons for the alien's failure to attend; 
                and
                  (iii) whether clear, unequivocal, and convincing 
                evidence of deportability has been established.
  (k) Fingerprints and Photographs.--The Attorney General shall 
prescribe regulations providing for the fingerprinting and 
photographing of each alien at least 14 years of age against whom a 
deportation proceeding is begun. The fingerprints and photographs shall 
be made available, on request, to law enforcement agencies of the 
Government, States, and localities.
  (l) Additional Regulations and Exclusivity of Procedure.--(1) A 
proceeding under this section shall be conducted under regulations the 
Attorney General shall prescribe that are consistent with this section.
  (2) The procedure provided by this section and regulations prescribed 
under this section is the only procedure for deciding on the 
deportability of an alien under this section.
  (m) Regulations on Motions To Reopen and To Reconsider and on 
Administrative Appeals.--Not later than May 29, 1991, the Attorney 
General shall prescribe regulations on--
          (1) the number of motions to reopen and to reconsider that 
        may be filed in a deportation proceeding and the time during 
        which they may be filed;
          (2) the number of administrative appeals that may be filed in 
        a deportation proceeding, the items to be included in notices 
        of appeal, and the time during which the appeals and the 
        appellate and reply briefs may be filed; and
          (3) the consolidation of motions to reopen and to reconsider 
        with the appeal of the order of deportation.

Sec. 6533. Expeditious proceedings for convicted aliens

  (a) General.--If an alien is convicted of an offense that makes the 
alien deportable, the Attorney General shall begin a deportation 
proceeding against the alien as expeditiously as possible after the 
date of the conviction.
  (b) Aliens Convicted of Aggravated Felonies.--The Attorney General 
shall provide for the availability of special deportation proceedings 
at certain correctional facilities of the United States Government, 
States, and localities for aliens convicted after November 17, 1988, of 
aggravated felonies. Each proceeding shall be conducted--
          (1) under section 6532 of this title, except as otherwise 
        provided by this section;
          (2) in a way that eliminates the need for additional 
        detention at a processing center of the Immigration and 
        Naturalization Service; and
          (3) in a way that ensures expeditious deportation, if 
        warranted, after the alien is released from imprisonment for 
        the felony.
  (c) Presumption of Deportability.--An alien convicted after November 
17, 1988, of an aggravated felony is conclusively presumed to be 
deportable from the United States.
  (d) Completing Proceedings Before Release From Imprisonment.--The 
Attorney General shall provide for beginning and, to the extent 
possible, completing a deportation proceeding against an alien 
convicted after November 17, 1988, of an aggravated felony, and any 
administrative appeals from that proceeding, before the alien is 
released from imprisonment for the felony.
  (e) Deportation During Imprisonment.--This section does not require 
the Attorney General to deport an alien sentenced to imprisonment 
before the alien is released from imprisonment.

Sec. 6534. Right to counsel

  In a deportation proceeding before a special inquiry officer and in 
an appeal before the Attorney General from a deportation proceeding, an 
alien is entitled to be represented, at no cost to the United States 
Government, by the alien's choice of counsel authorized to practice in 
the proceeding or appeal.

Sec. 6535. Judicial review

  (a) Applicable Provisions.--Judicial review of a final order of 
deportation is governed only by chapter 158 of title 28, except as 
provided by this section.
  (b) Requirements.--(1) A petition for review must be filed--
          (A) if the alien has been convicted after November 17, 1988, 
        of an aggravated felony, not later than 30 days after the date 
        of the final order of deportation; and
          (B) for any other alien, not later than 90 days after the 
        date of the final order of deportation.
  (2) A petition for review shall be filed with the court of appeals of 
the United States for the circuit in which the petitioner resides or 
for the circuit in which any part of the proceeding before a special 
inquiry officer was held, but not more than one circuit.
  (3) The respondent is the Attorney General. The petition shall be 
served on the Attorney General and on the officer or employee of the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service in charge of the Service 
district in which the office of the clerk of the court is located. 
Service of the petition on the officer or employee stays the 
deportation of the alien pending the court's decision on the petition, 
unless the court orders otherwise. However, if the alien has been 
convicted of an aggravated felony, service of the petition does not 
stay the deportation unless the court orders otherwise.
  (4) Except as provided by paragraph (5)(B) of this subsection--
          (A) the court of appeals shall decide the petition only on 
        the administrative record on which the deportation order is 
        based; and
          (B) the administrative findings of fact are conclusive if 
        supported by reasonable, substantial, and probative evidence on 
        the record considered as a whole.
  (5)(A) If the petitioner claims to be a national of the United States 
and the court of appeals finds from the pleadings and affidavits that 
no genuine issue of material fact about the petitioner's nationality is 
presented, the court shall decide the nationality claim.
  (B) If the petitioner claims to be a national of the United States 
and the court of appeals finds that a genuine issue of material fact 
about the petitioner's nationality is presented, the court shall 
transfer the proceeding to the district court of the United States for 
the judicial district in which the petitioner resides for a new hearing 
on the nationality claim and a decision on that claim as if an action 
had been brought in the district court under section 2201 of title 28.
  (C) The petitioner may have the nationality claim decided only as 
provided by this section.
  (6) When a petitioner seeks review of an order under this section, 
any review sought of a motion to reopen or reconsider the order shall 
be consolidated with the review of the order.
  (7)(A) If the validity of a deportation order has not been judicially 
decided, a defendant in a criminal proceeding charged with violating 
section 6536(d) or 10153(a) of this title may challenge the validity of 
the order in the criminal proceeding only by filing a separate motion 
before trial. The district court, without a jury, shall decide the 
motion before trial.
  (B) If the defendant claims in the motion to be a national of the 
United States and the district court finds that no genuine issue of 
material fact about the defendant's nationality is presented, the court 
shall decide the motion only on the administrative record on which the 
deportation order is based. The administrative findings of fact are 
conclusive if supported by reasonable, substantial, and probative 
evidence on the record considered as a whole.
  (C) If the defendant claims in the motion to be a national of the 
United States and the district court finds that a genuine issue of 
material fact about the defendant's nationality is presented, the court 
shall hold a new hearing on the nationality claim and decide that claim 
as if an action had been brought under section 2201 of title 28.
  (D) If the district court rules that the deportation order is 
invalid, the court shall dismiss the indictment. The United States 
Government may appeal the dismissal to the court of appeals for the 
appropriate circuit within 30 days. The defendant may not file a 
petition for review under this section during the criminal proceeding. 
The defendant may have the nationality claim decided only as provided 
by this section.
  (8) This subsection--
          (A) does not prevent the Attorney General, after a final 
        order of deportation has been issued, from detaining the alien 
        under section 6536(b) of this title;
          (B) does not relieve the alien from complying with sections 
        6536(d) and 10153(a) of this title; and
          (C) except as provided by paragraph (3) of this subsection, 
        does not require the Attorney General to defer deportation of 
        the alien.
  (9) The record and briefs do not have to be printed. The court of 
appeals shall review the proceeding on a typewritten record and on 
typewritten briefs.
  (10) An alien held in custody under an order of deportation may 
obtain judicial review of the order by a habeas corpus proceeding.
  (c) Review of Final Orders.--A court may review a final order of 
deportation only if--
          (1) the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies 
        available to the alien as of right;
          (2) the alien has remained in the United States after the 
        order was issued; and
          (3) another court has not decided the validity of the order, 
        unless the reviewing court finds that the petition presents 
        grounds that could not have been presented in the prior 
        judicial proceeding or that the remedy provided by the prior 
        proceeding was inadequate or ineffective to test the validity 
        of the order.
  (d) Requirements for Petition.--A petition for review or for habeas 
corpus of an order of deportation shall state whether a court has 
upheld the validity of the order, and, if so, shall state the name of 
the court, the date of the court's ruling, and the kind of proceeding.

Sec. 6536. Detention, release, and deportation of aliens ordered deported

  (a) Deportation Period.--Except as otherwise provided by this 
section, when an alien is ordered deported, the Attorney General has 6 
months to deport the alien from the United States. The 6-month period 
begins on the latest of the following:
          (1) the date the deportation order becomes administratively 
        final.
          (2) if the deportation order is judicially reviewed, the date 
        of the court's final order.
          (3) if the alien is detained or confined (except under an 
        immigration process), the date the alien is released from 
        detention or confinement.
  (b) Detention and Release by the Attorney General.--During the 6-
month period, the Attorney General may--
          (1) detain the alien;
          (2) release the alien on a bond containing conditions the 
        Attorney General may prescribe; or
          (3) release the alien on other conditions the Attorney 
        General may prescribe.
  (c) Habeas Corpus.--In a habeas corpus proceeding, a court of 
competent jurisdiction may review or revise a decision of the Attorney 
General under subsection (b) of this section if the alien shows 
conclusively that the Attorney General is not proceeding with 
reasonable dispatch under the particular circumstances to deport the 
alien within the 6-month period.
  (d) Supervision After 6-Month Period.--If the alien does not leave or 
is not deported within the 6-month period, the alien, pending 
deportation, shall be subject to supervision under regulations 
prescribed by the Attorney General. The regulations shall include 
provisions requiring the alien--
          (1) to appear before an immigration officer periodically for 
        identification;
          (2) to submit, if necessary, to a medical and psychiatric 
        examination at the expense of the United States Government;
          (3) to give information under oath about the alien's 
        nationality, circumstances, habits, associations, and 
        activities, and other information the Attorney General 
        considers appropriate; and
          (4) to obey reasonable written restrictions on the alien's 
        conduct or activities that the Attorney General prescribes for 
        the alien.
  (e) Aliens Imprisoned, Arrested, or on Parole, Supervised Release, or 
Probation.--Except as provided by section 343(a) of the Public Health 
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 259(a)), the Attorney General may not deport an 
alien who is sentenced to imprisonment until the alien is released from 
imprisonment. Parole, supervised release, probation, or possibility of 
rearrest or further imprisonment is not a reason to defer deportation.
  (f) Reinstatement of Deportation Orders Against Aliens Illegally 
Reentering.--If the Attorney General finds that an alien has reentered 
the United States illegally after having been deported or having 
departed voluntarily, under an order of deportation on any ground 
described by sections 6506-6509 of this title, the prior order of 
deportation is reinstated from its original date and the alien shall be 
deported under the prior order at any time after the reentry.

Sec. 6537. Countries to which aliens may be deported

  (a) Designation by Alien.--(1) An alien in the United States who has 
been ordered deported may designate one country to which the alien 
wants to be deported. However, the alien may designate a foreign 
territory contiguous to the United States, an adjacent island, or an 
island adjacent to a foreign territory contiguous to the United States 
as the place to which the alien is to be deported only if the alien is 
a native, citizen, subject, or national of, or has resided in, that 
designated territory or island. Except as otherwise provided by this 
section, the Attorney General shall deport the alien to the country the 
alien designates.
  (2) The Attorney General may disregard a designation under paragraph 
(1) of this subsection if--
          (A) the alien fails to designate a country promptly;
          (B) the government of the country does not inform the 
        Attorney General finally, within 3 months after the Attorney 
        General first inquires, whether the government will accept the 
        alien into the country;
          (C) the government of the country is not willing to accept 
        the alien into the country; or
          (D) the Attorney General decides that deporting the alien to 
        the country is prejudicial to the United States.
  (b) Alternative Deportation Country.--If an alien is not deported to 
a country under subsection (a) of this section, the Attorney General 
shall deport the alien to a country of which the alien is a subject, 
national, or citizen unless the government of the country--
          (1) does not inform the Attorney General or the alien 
        finally, within 3 months after the Attorney General first 
        inquires or within another period of time the Attorney General 
        decides is reasonable, whether the government will accept the 
        alien into the country; or
          (2) is not willing to accept the alien into the country.
  (c) Additional Deportation Countries.--If an alien is not deported to 
a country under subsection (a) or (b) of this section, the Attorney 
General shall deport the alien to any of the following countries:
          (1) the country from which the alien last entered the United 
        States.
          (2) the country in which is located the foreign port from 
        which the alien left for the United States or for a foreign 
        territory contiguous to the United States.
          (3) a country in which the alien resided before the alien 
        entered the country from which the alien entered the United 
        States.
          (4) the country in which the alien was born.
          (5) the country that had sovereignty over the alien's 
        birthplace when the alien was born.
          (6) the country in which the alien's birthplace is located 
        when the alien is ordered deported.
          (7) if impracticable, inadvisable, or impossible to deport 
        the alien to a country described by clauses (1)-(6) of this 
        subsection, another country whose government will accept the 
        alien into that country.
  (d) Deportation Country When United States Is at War.--When the 
United States is at war and the Attorney General decides that it is 
impracticable, inadvisable, inconvenient, or impossible to deport an 
alien under subsections (a)-(c) of this section because of the war, the 
Attorney General may deport the alien--
          (1) to the country that is host to a government in exile of 
        the country of which the alien is a citizen or subject if the 
        government of the host country will permit the alien's entry; 
        or
          (2) if the recognized government of the country of which the 
        alien is a citizen or subject is not in exile, to a country, or 
        a political or territorial subdivision of a country, that is 
        very near the country of which the alien is a citizen or 
        subject, or, with the consent of the government of the country 
        of which the alien is a citizen or subject, to another country.
  (e) Restriction When Alien's Life or Freedom Would Be Threatened.--
(1) Notwithstanding subsections (a)-(d) of this section, the Attorney 
General may not deport or return an alien to a country if the Attorney 
General decides that the alien's life or freedom would be threatened in 
that country because of the alien's race, religion, nationality, 
membership in a social group, or political opinion.
  (2) Paragraph (1) of this subsection does not apply to an alien 
deportable under section 6509 of this title or if the Attorney General 
decides--
          (A) that the alien ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise 
        participated in the persecution of an individual because of the 
        individual's race, religion, nationality, membership in a 
        social group, or political opinion;
          (B) after the alien's conviction of a particularly serious 
        crime (including any aggravated felony) has become final, that 
        the alien is a danger to the community of the United States;
          (C) that there are serious reasons to believe that the alien 
        committed a serious nonpolitical crime outside the United 
        States before the alien arrived in the United States; or
          (D) that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the 
        alien is a danger to the security of the United States.

Sec. 6538. Suspension of deportation

  (a) Grounds for Suspension.--On application of an alien to the 
Attorney General, the Attorney General may suspend the deportation of 
the alien and change the status of the alien under section 9103 of this 
title to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence 
if--
          (1)(A) the alien is deportable under a law of the United 
        States, except sections 6506-6508 of this title;
          (B) for at least 7 continuous years immediately before 
        applying, the alien has been--
                  (i) physically present in the United States; and
                  (ii) of good moral character;
          (C) the alien is of good moral character; and
          (D) the Attorney General believes that deporting the alien 
        would cause extreme hardship to the alien or to the alien's 
        spouse, parent, or child if the spouse, parent, or child is a 
        citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for 
        permanent residence; or
          (2)(A) the alien is deportable under any of sections 6506-
        6508 of this title;
          (B) for at least 10 continuous years immediately after the 
        alien committed an act or acquired a status that is a ground 
        for deportation, the alien has been--
                  (i) physically present in the United States; and
                  (ii) of good moral character;
          (C) the alien is of good moral character; and
          (D) the Attorney General believes that deporting the alien 
        would cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the 
        alien or to the alien's spouse, parent, or child if the spouse, 
        parent, or child is a citizen of the United States or an alien 
        lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
  (b) Brief Interruption of Physical Presence.--An alien temporarily 
absent from the United States is deemed to have maintained continuous 
physical presence under subsection (a)(1)(B)(i) and (2)(B)(i) of this 
section if the absence was brief, casual, and innocent and did not 
meaningfully interrupt the continuous physical presence. This 
subsection does not apply to an alien removed from the United States 
before November 6, 1986.
  (c) Interruption of Physical Presence Because of Service in the Armed 
Forces.--The requirements of subsection (a)(1)(B)(i) and (2)(B)(i) of 
this section do not apply to an alien who--
          (1) enlisted or was inducted into the armed forces of the 
        United States when the alien was in the United States;
          (2) served on active duty in the armed forces for at least 24 
        months; and
          (3) if separated from the armed forces, was separated under 
        honorable conditions.
  (d) Nonapplication.--This section does not apply to an alien who--
          (1) enters the United States as a crewmember after June 30, 
        1964;
          (2) is admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant under 
        section 2312 of this title or acquires the status of a 
        nonimmigrant under section 2312 after admission--
                  (A) to receive graduate medical education or 
                training, regardless of whether the alien is subject to 
                the 2-year foreign residence requirement of section 
                8303 of this title; or
                  (B) not to receive graduate medical education or 
                training, but who is subject to the 2-year foreign 
                residence requirement of section 8303 of this title and 
                does not fulfill or receive a waiver of that 
                requirement; or
          (3) is deportable under section 6509 of this title.

Sec. 6539. Voluntary departure and removal

  (a) Departure Before Deportation Proceedings.--(1) Before a 
deportation proceeding is begun against an alien, the Attorney General 
may allow the alien to depart voluntarily from the United States if the 
alien--

can establish a prima facie case of eligibility for temporary protected 
status under this chapter except that the period of registration under

  (a) General.--After consultation with appropriate agencies, the 
Attorney General may designate a foreign country or part of a foreign 
country under this section if the Attorney General finds that--
          (1) there is an armed conflict in the country that would pose 
        a serious threat to the personal safety of nationals of that 
        country if they were required to return to that country or part 
        of that country;
          (2)(A) there has been an earthquake, flood, drought,

        nationals adequately; and

        designation under this clause (2); or
          (3) extraordinary and temporary conditions exist in the 
        country that prevent nationals from returning to that country 
        in safety, unless the Attorney General finds that permitting 
        the aliens to remain temporarily in the United States is 
        contrary to the interest of the United States.
  (b) Publication of Designations.--A designation under subsection (a) 
of this section is effective only if notice of the designation 
(including a statement of the findings under subsection (a) and the 
effective date of the designation) is published in the Federal 
Register. The Attorney General shall include in the notice an estimate 
of the number of nationals of the designated country who are, or within

for temporary protected status under this chapter and their immigration 
status in the United States.

section--
          (1) takes effect on the date the notice is published under 
        subsection (b) of this section or a later date the Attorney 
        General specifies in the notice; and
          (2) remains in effect until terminated under subsection (d) 
        of this section.
  (d) Periodic Reviews, Extensions, and Terminations.--(1) The first 
period of designation of a foreign country or part of a foreign country

  (2) At least 60 days before the end of the first period of 
designation and each extended period of designation, the Attorney 
General, after consultation with appropriate agencies, shall review the 
conditions in the designated country or part of the country and decide 
whether the conditions for the designation continue to be met.
  (3)(A) If the Attorney General does not decide that the designated 
country or part of the country no longer meets the conditions for 
designation, the designation is extended for 6 months or, in the 
discretion of the Attorney General, for 12 or 18 months.
  (B) If the Attorney General decides that the designated country or 
part of the country no longer meets the conditions for designation, the 
Attorney General shall terminate the designation. A termination is 
effective 60 days after notice of the termination is published in the 
Federal Register or when the most recent extension expires, whichever 
is later.
  (4) The Attorney General shall publish in the Federal Register, on a 
timely basis, notice of each decision under this subsection, including 
the basis for the decision, and the period of any extension.
  (e) Information on Protected Status at Time of Designation.--When the 
Attorney General designates a foreign country or part of a foreign 
country under subsection (a) of this section, the Attorney General 
shall make available to nationals of that country information on the 
temporary protected status available under this chapter.
  (f) Administrative and Judicial Review.--(1) The Attorney General 
shall establish an administrative procedure to review a denial of 
benefits to an alien under this section. The procedure may not prevent 
an alien from asserting protection under this chapter in a deportation 
proceeding if the alien demonstrates that the alien is a national of a 
foreign country designated, or designated in part, under this section.
  (2) A designation, extension, or termination under this section is 
not subject to judicial review.

        been designated, or designated in part, under section 6703 of 
        this title; or
          (2) if, during a deportation proceeding pending against the

the documentation and authorization are valid for the first period of 
designation of the foreign country or part of the foreign country 
involved and any extension of that period. The Attorney General may 
stagger the periods of validity of the documentation and authorization 
to provide for an orderly renewal of the documentation and 
authorization and for an orderly transition under subsection (c) when a 
designation is terminated.
  (c) Effective Date of Terminations.--A termination of a designation 
under section 6703(d)(3)(B) of this title applies only to documentation 
and authorization issued or renewed after--

        to provide for an orderly transition.

Sec. 6706. Registration fees

  (a) Allowable Fees.--The Attorney General may require payment of a 
reasonable fee of not more than $50 as a condition for registering an 
alien under section 6702(a)(5) of this title, including providing a

made after July 17, 1991, the Attorney General may require payment of 
an additional fee for providing the work authorization.

shall be credited to the appropriation to be used to carry out this 
chapter.

        eligible for the status;
          (2) except as provided by sections 6701(6) and 6702(c) of 
        this title, the alien has not remained continuously physically 
        present in the United States from the date the alien first was 
        granted the status; or
          (3) the alien, without good cause, does not register with the 
        Attorney General annually, at the end of each 12-month period 
        after the status is granted, in the form and way the Attorney 
        General prescribes.

Sec. 6708. Relationship to deportation

  Under section 6538(a) of this title, the period during which 
temporary protected status is in effect for an alien--
          (1) is not counted as a period of physical presence in the 
        United States unless the Attorney General decides that extreme 
        hardship exists; and
          (2) does not cause a break in the continuity of residence 
        before and after the period during which the alien has that 
        status.

Sec. 6709. Relationship to immigration status

  (a) General.--This chapter does not authorize the Attorney General to 
deny temporary protected status to an alien based on the alien's 
immigration status or to require an alien, as a condition of being 
granted temporary protected status, to relinquish another status the 
alien may have or to waive any right under this title (except 
subchapter I of chapter 5, subchapters III and IV of chapter 131, and 
chapters 133-137).
  (b) Temporary Protected Status Not Inconsistent With Nonimmigrant 
Status.--Granting temporary protected status under this chapter is not 
inconsistent with granting nonimmigrant status under this title.

the Attorney General authorizes to travel outside the United States 
temporarily and who returns to the United States according to the 
authorization--
          (1) shall be inspected and admitted in the same immigration 
        status the alien had at the time of departure if the alien is 
        found not to be excludable on a ground referred to in section 
        6702(a)(4)(C) of this title; and
          (2) has not failed to maintain continuous physical presence 
        in the United States under section 6538(a) of this title 
        because of the departure if the absence meets the requirements 
        of section 6538(b) of this title.

Sec. 6711. Exclusive remedy

  Except as otherwise specifically provided, this chapter is the 
exclusive authority of the Attorney General under law to allow an alien 
who is or may become otherwise deportable or who has been paroled into 
the United States to remain in the United States temporarily because of 
the alien's nationality or region of foreign country of nationality.

Sec. 6712. Limitation on Senate consideration of legislation adjusting 
status

                when the spouse or child is a citizen of the United 
                States or lawfully admitted for permanent residence; or

          (2) shall provide that--

                is required, because of a deportation order; and
                  (B) time during which an alien is outside the United 
                States under the advance parole procedures of the

        the alien; and
          (4) shall require that continuous residence and physical

        another purpose (except under this title or for enforcement of 
        sections 1001, 1028, 1546, and 1621 of title 18) or to be

                the person previously was subject to one order under 
                this subsection; or
                  (iii) at least $3,000, but not more than $10,000, for

violation occurred. In deciding on the amount of the penalty, 
consideration shall be given to--
          (1) the size of the business of the person;
          (2) the good faith of the person;
          (3) the seriousness of the violation;
          (4) whether the individual was an unauthorized alien; and
          (5) any history of prior violations.

General's authority under this subsection to a person having review 
authority over immigration-related matters.

days after the date the final order is issued.
  (2) An order of the Attorney General issued without a hearing as 
provided by subsection (c)(2) of this section is not appealable.

                  (A) means an individual who is--
                          (i) a national of the United States; or
                          (ii) an alien lawfully admitted for permanent 
                        residence, lawfully admitted for temporary 
                        residence under section 9302 of this title or 
                        section 210(a) or 210A(a) of the Immigration 
                        and Nationality Act (66 Stat. 163), admitted as 
                        a refugee under section 5105 of this title, or 
                        granted asylum under section 5106 of this 
                        title; but

                          (i) did not apply for naturalization within 6 
                        months after first becoming eligible (because 
                        of a period of lawful permanent residence) to 
                        apply, or, if later, before May 7, 1987; or
                          (ii) timely applied but was not naturalized 
                        within 2 years after applying (excluding time 
                        taken by the Immigration and Naturalization 
                        Service in processing the application), unless 
                        the alien establishes that the alien is 
                        actively pursuing naturalization.
          (2) ``person'', in addition to its meaning under section 1 of 
        title 1, includes a governmental authority.

Sec. 11302. Immigration-related unfair employment practices

  (a) Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices.--It is an 
immigration-related unfair employment practice for a person--
          (1) to discriminate against an individual (except an 
        unauthorized alien as defined by section 11101(2) of this 
        title) in hiring, or recruiting or referring for employment for 
        a fee, the individual or discharging the individual from 
        employment because of the individual's national origin or, if 
        the individual is a protected individual, because of the 
        individual's citizenship status; or
          (2) after November 28, 1990, to intimidate, threaten, coerce, 
        or retaliate against an individual--
                  (A) for the purpose of interfering with a right or 
                privilege under this chapter; or
                  (B) because the individual intends to file or has 
                filed a charge or complaint or assisted or participated 
                in an investigation or proceeding under this chapter.
  (b) Certain Document Practices as Being Unfair.--After November 28, 
1990, it is deemed to be an immigration-related unfair employment 
practice under subsection (a)(1) of this section related to the hiring 
of an individual, for a person to request, to satisfy the requirements 
of section 11103 of this title, more or different documents than are 
required under section 11103 or to refuse to honor a document that on 
its face reasonably appears to be genuine.
  (c) Nonapplication.--Subsection (a)(1) of this section does not apply 
to--
          (1) a person employing fewer than 4 employees;
          (2) discrimination by a person because of an individual's 
        national origin if the discrimination by that person against 
        that individual is covered by section 703 of the Civil Rights 
        Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-2); or
          (3) discrimination because of citizenship status that is--
                  (A) required to comply with a law, a regulation, or 
                an executive order;
                  (B) required by a contract of the United States 
                Government or a State or local government; or
                  (C) found by the Attorney General to be essential for 
                an employer to do business with an agency of the 
                Government or a State or local government.
  (d) Preference for Equally Qualified Nationals.--It is not an 
immigration-related unfair employment practice for a person to hire, 
recruit, or refer an individual who is a national of the United States 
instead of an individual who is an alien if both individuals are 
equally qualified.

Sec. 11303. Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment

        campaign; and
          (B) shall consult with the Chairman, the Secretary, and the 
        heads of other appropriate departments, agencies, and

be served by certified mail not later than 10 days after the charge is 
filed.
  (c) Limitations on Filing Charges.--A charge of an immigration-
related unfair employment practice involving discrimination because of 
national origin may not be filed under this section if a charge of that 
practice based on the same set of facts has been filed with the Equal 
Employment Opportunity Commission under title VII of the Civil Rights 
Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.), unless the charge is dismissed

prevent the Special Counsel from investigating the charge or filing a 
complaint with an administrative law judge during the 90-day period 
referred to in subsection (b) of this section.
  (b) Private Actions.--Subject to subsection (c) of this section, if a

days after the charge is filed with the Special Counsel under 
subsection (a)(1) of this section, the Special Counsel shall notify the

an administrative law judge not later than 90 days after receiving the 
notice.

employment practice may not be filed with an administrative law judge

  (a) Service Projects.--(1) The Director of the Office of Refugee 
Resettlement may make grants to, and contracts with, public agencies 
and private nonprofit voluntary organizations for projects specifically 
designed--
          (A) to assist refugees in obtaining skills necessary for 
        economic self-sufficiency, including projects for job training, 
        employment services, day care, and professional refresher 
        training and other recertification services;

        when refugees are employed or are receiving assistance; and
          (C) to provide health (including mental health) services, 
        social services, and educational and other services when 
        specific needs have been shown and recognized by the Director.

this subsection shall be allocated among the States based on the total 
number of refugees who--
          (A) arrived in the United States within the 36 months before

          (B) actually are residing in each State (taking into account 
        secondary migration) at the beginning of the fiscal year.
  (3) A limitation that the Director establishes on that part of 
amounts allocated to a State under this subsection that the State may 
use for services (except those services described by section 13111(2) 
of this title) does not apply if the Director--
          (A) receives a plan that has been established by or with the 
        consultation of political subdivisions; and
          (B) decides that the plan provides for the maximum 
        appropriate employment services for, and the maximum placement 
        of, employable refugees consistent with the performance 
        standards established under section 106 of the Job Training 
        Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1516).
  (b) Targeted Assistance Project Grants.--(1) The Director may make a 
grant to a State for assistance to a political subdivision in the State 
that has a demonstrated specific need for additional available 
resources for providing services to refugees because of factors such 
as--
          (A) an unusually large refugee population (including 
        secondary migration);
          (B) high refugee concentrations; and
          (C) high use of public assistance by refugees.
  (2) The Director shall make a grant under this subsection--
          (A) primarily to facilitate refugee employment and self-
        sufficiency; and
          (B) in a way that does not supplant amounts available under 
        other refugee programs and ensures that at least 95 percent of 
        the amount of the grant is made available to the political 
        subdivision.
  (c) Maintaining Level of Service Projects.--To the extent of 
available appropriations, the Director may not--
          (1) reduce the maximum average contribution level of the 
        United States Government for each refugee in the voluntary 
        agency program, known as the matching grant program and 
        financed under subsection (a) of this section, below the level 
        in effect under the program for grants in the fiscal year that 
        ended September 30, 1985; or
          (2) increase the percentage grantee matching requirement 
        under the program above the percentage in effect under the 
        program for grants in the fiscal year that ended September 30, 
        1985.

Sec. 13117. Assistance for refugee children

  (a) Special Educational Services.--Where a need is shown, the 
Secretary of Education may make grants and contracts for projects to 
provide special educational services (including instruction in English) 
to refugee children in elementary and secondary schools.
  (b) Child Welfare Services.--The Director of the Office of Refugee 
Resettlement may provide assistance, reimburse States, and make grants 
to, and contracts with, public agencies and private voluntary nonprofit 
organizations to provide child welfare services (including foster care 
maintenance payments and services and health care) to a refugee child 
during the 36-month period that begins with the first month the child 
is in the United States. If a refugee child is unaccompanied by a 
parent or other close adult relative (as defined by the Director), 
those services may be provided until the month after the child becomes 
18 years of age (or a later age prescribed in the State's child welfare 
services plan under part B of title IV of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 620 et seq.) for the availability of those services to another 
child in the State).
  (c) Placing Unaccompanied Children.--(1) The Director shall try to 
arrange, under the laws of the States, to place an unaccompanied 
refugee child referred to in subsection (b) of this section who has 
been accepted for admission to the United States. The Director shall 
make the arrangements before or as soon as possible after the child 
arrives in the United States. If necessary, the Director shall assume 
legal and financial responsibility for the child during the period 
before the child is placed when the child is in the United States or is 
traveling to the United States. The Director may make necessary 
decisions to provide for the child's immediate care.
  (2) In carrying out this subsection, the Director may make contracts 
with appropriate public agencies and private nonprofit voluntary 
organizations under conditions the Director considers appropriate.
  (3) The Director shall maintain a list of--
          (A) all unaccompanied refugee children who have entered the 
        United States after April 1, 1975;
          (B) the name and last known residence of each living parent 
        of each of those children at the child's time of arrival; and
          (C) the locations, status, and progress of the children.

Sec. 13118. Cash and medical assistance

  (a) General Authority.--The Director of the Office of Refugee 
Resettlement may provide assistance, reimburse States, and make grants 
to, and contracts with, public agencies and private nonprofit voluntary 
organizations for 100 percent of the cash and medical assistance 
provided to a refugee during the 36-month period that begins with the 
first month the refugee enters the United States. The Director also may 
pay for the identifiable and reasonable administrative costs of 
providing the assistance.
  (b) Conditions and Limitation.--(1) Except for good cause shown, cash 
assistance may be provided to an employable refugee under this section 
only if the refugee--
          (A) registers with an appropriate public agency or private 
        nonprofit voluntary organization providing employment services 
        described by section 13116(a)(1)(A) of this title, or, if such 
        an agency or organization is not available, with an appropriate 
        State or local employment service;
          (B) participates in an available and appropriate service or 
        targeted assistance project grant financed under section 13116 
        of this title providing job or language training in the area in 
        which the refugee resides; and
          (C) accepts an appropriate offer of employment.
  (2)(A) Cash assistance provided under this section shall be suspended 
for any alien entering the United States as a refugee after March 31, 
1987, who refuses--
          (i) an offer of employment that the public agency or private 
        nonprofit voluntary organization providing initial resettlement 
        assistance under section 13115(a) of this title or the 
        appropriate State or local employment service decides is 
        appropriate;
          (ii) to go to a job interview that has been arranged through 
        the agency, organization, or employment service; or
          (iii) to participate in a service or targeted assistance 
        project grant referred to in paragraph (1)(B) of this 
        subsection that the agency, organization, or employment service 
        decides is available and appropriate.
  (B) The assistance shall be suspended for 3 months for the first 
refusal and for 6 months for any subsequent refusal. The refugee shall 
be given an opportunity for a proceeding before cash assistance is 
suspended.
  (3) A refugee who is a full-time student in an institution of higher 
education, as defined by the Director after consultation with the 
Secretary of Education, may not receive cash assistance.
  (c) Instruction and Training for Refugees Receiving Assistance.--The 
Director shall develop plans to provide instruction in English and 
other appropriate services and training to a refugee receiving cash 
assistance.
  (d) Limitation on Use of Amounts.--If a refugee is eligible for aid 
or assistance under a State plan approved under part A of title IV or 
under title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 1396 
et seq.) or for supplemental security income benefits (including State 
supplementary payments) under the program established under title XVI 
of that Act (42 U.S.C. 1381 et seq.), amounts to carry out this section 
may be used only to pay the part of the aid or assistance not paid by 
the United States Government under part A of title IV or under title 
XIX for cash and medical assistance provided the refugee, and for State 
supplementary payments.
  (e) Medical Assistance for Refugees Otherwise Ineligible.--During the 
one-year period after a refugee enters the United States, the Director 
may authorize medical assistance of the kind provided under subsection 
(a) of this section to a refugee if--
          (1) the refugee does not qualify for assistance under a State 
        plan approved under title XIX of that Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et 
        seq.) because of financial resources or income requirements of 
        the plan; and
          (2) the Director decides that--
                  (A) providing the medical services will encourage 
                economic self-sufficiency or avoid a significant burden 
                on State and local governments; and
                  (B) the refugee meets alternative financial resources 
                and income requirements the Director establishes.
  (f) Alternative Assistance Projects.--(1) The Secretary of Health and 
Human Services shall develop and carry out alternative projects for 
refugees who have been in the United States less than 36 months. The 
projects shall provide refugees with interim support, medical services, 
support services, and case-management services, as needed, in a way 
that encourages self-sufficiency, reduces welfare dependency, and 
fosters greater coordination among public agencies, private nonprofit 
voluntary organizations providing resettlement assistance, and service 
providers. The Secretary may provide an alternative project to cover a 
specific group of refugees who have been in the United States at least 
36 months if the Secretary decides that--
          (A) refugees in the group have been significantly and 
        disproportionately dependent on welfare;
          (B) those refugees need the services provided under the 
        project to become self-sufficient; and
          (C) including those refugees under the project would be cost-
        effective.
  (2) A refugee in an alternative project may not receive cash or 
medical assistance under another subsection of this section or under 
part A of title IV or under title XIX of that Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et 
seq., 1396 et seq.).
  (3) Amounts appropriated to carry out this subchapter, section 13901 
of this title, or part A of title IV or title XIX of that Act (42 
U.S.C. 601 et seq., 1396 et seq.) may be used to carry out and evaluate 
alternative projects under this subsection, to the extent the use of 
those amounts is consistent with the purposes of this subchapter, 
section 13901, part A of title IV, and title XIX.
  (g) Notification of Application by Refugee for Assistance.--As a 
condition for receiving assistance, reimbursement, or a contract under 
this section, a State, public agency, or private nonprofit voluntary 
organization must ensure that when a refugee applies for cash or 
medical assistance for which assistance or reimbursement is provided 
under this section, the State, agency, or organization will notify 
promptly the agency or organization (or local affiliate of the 
organization) that provided for the initial resettlement of the refugee 
under section 13115(a) of this title that the refugee has applied for 
the assistance.

Sec. 13119. Administrative

  (a) Authority of the Director.--In providing assistance under this 
subchapter, the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, to the 
extent of available appropriations--
          (1) shall make available sufficient resources for employment 
        training and placement to permit refugees to achieve economic 
        self-sufficiency as soon as possible;
          (2) shall provide refugees with the opportunity to acquire 
        sufficient instruction in English to enable them to become 
        resettled effectively as quickly as possible;
          (3) shall ensure that cash assistance is made available to 
        refugees as provided under section 13118(b) of this title in a 
        way that will not discourage economic self-sufficiency;
          (4) shall ensure that women have the same opportunities as 
        men to participate in training and instruction;
          (5) shall make a periodic assessment, based on refugee 
        population and other relevant factors, of the relative needs of 
        refugees for assistance and services under this subchapter and 
        the resources available to meet those needs;
          (6) in allocating resources, shall avoid duplicating services 
        and provide for maximum coordination among agencies and 
        organizations providing related services; and
          (7) shall compile and maintain information on--
                  (A) the secondary migration of refugees in the United 
                States; and
                  (B) the proportion of refugees, by State of residence 
                and nationality, receiving cash or medical assistance 
                described by section 13118 of this title.

State government or political subdivision authority to review or 
approve a grant or contract under this subchapter or the terms under 
which a grant or contract is made.
  (c) Nondiscrimination.--Assistance and services under this subchapter 
shall be provided to refugees without regard to race, religion,

section 13115(a) of this title, together with the United States 
Coordinator for Refugee Affairs, shall consult at least quarterly with 
State governments, political subdivisions, and private nonprofit 
voluntary organizations on the sponsorship process and the intended 
distribution of refugees among the States and political subdivisions 
before placing refugees in each of the States and political 
subdivisions.
  (2) In consultation with representatives of private nonprofit 
voluntary organizations, State governments, and political subdivisions, 
the Director shall develop and carry out policies and strategies for 
placing and resettling refugees in the United States. To the extent 
practicable and except under unusual circumstances the Director may 
recognize, the policies and strategies shall--
          (A) ensure that a refugee is not placed or resettled 
        initially in an area highly impacted (as decided under 
        regulations prescribed by the Director after consultation with 
        private nonprofit voluntary organizations, State governments, 
        and political subdivisions) by the presence of refugees or 
        comparable populations unless the refugee has a spouse, parent, 
        sibling, or child residing in that area;
          (B) provide for a mechanism for representatives of local 
        affiliates of private nonprofit voluntary organizations to meet 
        at least quarterly with representatives of State governments 
        and political subdivisions to plan and coordinate, in advance 
        of the arrival of the refugees, the appropriate placement of 
        the refugees among the States and political subdivisions; and
          (C) consider--
                  (i) the proportion of refugees and comparable 
                entrants in the population in the area;
                  (ii) the availability of employment opportunities, 
                affordable housing, and public and private resources 
                for refugees in the area, including educational, health 
                care, and mental health services;
                  (iii) the likelihood of refugees placed in the area 
                becoming self-sufficient and free from long-term 
                dependence on public assistance; and
                  (iv) the secondary migration of refugees to and from 
                the area that is likely to occur.
  (3) To the maximum extent possible and consistent with the policies 
and strategies developed under paragraph (2) of this subsection, the 
administering agency under section 13115(a) of this title shall 
consider the recommendations of the State in deciding where to place 
refugees in that State.
  (4) In providing assistance to refugees, a State government or 
political subdivision shall consider the recommendations of, and 
assistance provided by, a public agency or private nonprofit voluntary 
organization receiving a grant or contract under section 13115(a) of 
this title.
  (e) Requirements for Grants and Contracts.--A grant or contract may 
be made under this subchapter only when an appropriate proposal and 
application (that includes a description of the ability of a public 
agency or private nonprofit voluntary organization to provide the 
services specified in the proposal) are submitted to and approved by 
the appropriate administering official. A grant shall be made to, or a 
contract shall be made with, a public agency or private nonprofit 
voluntary organization that the administering official decides can best 
provide the services. Payment under the grant or contract may be made 
in advance or by reimbursement.
  (f) Grant and Contract Proposals and Applications.--To receive 
assistance under this subchapter, a State--
          (1) must submit to the Director a plan that--

                  (C) provides for the designation of a State officer 
                or employee to be responsible for ensuring coordination

Sec. 13132. Basic educational services grants

  (a) Grants.--The Secretary of Education shall make a grant to each 
State educational agency for each fiscal year to assist local 
educational agencies of the State in providing basic educational 
services for eligible participants enrolled in the elementary and 
secondary public schools under the jurisdiction of the local 
educational agencies of the State. The State educational agency may use 
the grant only as provided in its application approved under section 
13135(b) of this title.
  (b) Applications.--To receive a grant under this section, the State 
educational agency must submit an application to the Secretary. In the 
application, the State educational agency must--
          (1) agree that payments under the grant will be used as 
        provided by subsection (a) of this section;
          (2) agree to ensure that those payments will be allocated 
        among the local educational agencies in the State using the 
        same formula and reductions for the local educational agencies 
        as the Secretary is required to use in making allocations to 
        State educational agencies under subsection (d) of this 
        section;
          (3) specify the amounts referred to in subsection (d) of this 
        section that are made available under other laws of the United 
        States for expenditure in the State for the same purpose for 
        which an amount is made available under this section and the 
        local educational agencies to which those amounts are 
        available; and
          (4) comply with section 13135(a) of this title.
  (c) Prescribing Grant Formula.--As soon as possible, the Secretary 
shall prescribe a formula to be used in determining the amount of the 
grant to which each State educational agency (except the agencies for 
American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory 
of the Pacific Islands, and the Virgin Islands) is entitled under this 
section for a fiscal year. The formula shall be based on the full 
amount authorized under section 13139(b) of this title. In prescribing 
the formula, the Secretary--
          (1) shall consider--
                  (A) the number of years each eligible participant 
                assisted under this section has resided in the United 
                States; and
                  (B) the relative costs, by grade level, of educating 
                elementary and secondary school children; and
          (2) shall provide that amounts be allocated without regard to 
        differences in educational costs among different geographical 
        areas.
  (d) Allocations.--The Secretary shall allocate the amount 
appropriated to carry out this section for a fiscal year among the 
State educational agencies (except the agencies for American Samoa, 
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
Islands, and the Virgin Islands). Except as provided by section 13136 
of this title, the amount of the grant to which an agency is entitled 
under this section for a fiscal year is equal to the amount allocated 
to it under the formula, reduced by the amounts available for that 
fiscal year under other laws of the United States for expenditure in 
the State for the same purpose for which an amount is made available 
under this section. However, the reduction shall be made only to the 
extent the amounts are available under the other laws--
          (1) for that purpose specifically because the individuals 
        served by the amounts have refugee, parolee, or asylum status; 
        and
          (2) to assist individuals eligible for services under this 
        section.
  (e) Grant Amounts for Territories and Possessions.--The amounts of 
the grants to which the State educational agencies of American Samoa, 
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
Islands, and the Virgin Islands are entitled under this section are the 
amounts the Secretary determines they need based on criteria the 
Secretary prescribes. The total amount of those grants for a period may 
not be more than one percent of the amount authorized to be 
appropriated to carry out this section during the period. If the total 
of the amounts the Secretary determines those agencies need is more 
than one percent, the amount of the grant to each of those agencies is 
reduced proportionately so that the total is not more than one percent.

Sec. 13133. Supplementary educational services grants

  (a) Definitions.--In this section--
          (1) ``enrolled eligible participant in the State'' means an 
        eligible participant enrolled in an elementary or secondary 
        public school under the jurisdiction of a qualified local 
        educational agency in the State or in an elementary or 
        secondary nonpublic school in the district served by a 
        qualified local educational agency in the State.
          (2) ``qualified local educational agency'' means a local 
        educational agency that--
                  (A) during the fiscal year for which a grant is to be 
                made under this section, has enrolled in the elementary 
                and secondary public schools under its jurisdiction and 
                in the elementary and secondary nonpublic schools in 
                the district it serves a number of eligible 
                participants receiving supplementary educational 
                services during the fiscal year at least equal to the 
                lesser of--
                          (i) 500; or
                          (ii) 5 percent of the total number of 
                        students enrolled in those public or nonpublic 
                        schools during that fiscal year; or
                  (B) is eligible to receive assistance because of 
                section 3(b)(last sentence) and (c)(2)(B) of the Act of 
                September 30, 1950 (20 U.S.C. 238(b)(last sentence) and 
                (c)(2)(B)).

                  (i) instruction in English;
                  (ii) other bilingual educational services; and
                  (iii) special materials and supplies;
          (B) additional basic instructional services directly

                  (v) transportation; and
          (C) special inservice training of personnel who will provide 
        the instructional services described by clauses (A) and (B) of

in its application as approved under section 13135(b) of this title.
  (c) Applications.--To receive a grant under this section, a State 
educational agency must submit an application to the Secretary. In the 
application, the State educational agency must--

        among the local educational agencies in the State using the 
        same formula and reductions for the local educational agencies 
        as the Secretary is required to use in making allocations to 
        State educational agencies under subsection (d) of this 
        section;
          (4) specify the amounts referred to in subsection (d)(2) of 
        this section that are made available under other laws of the 
        United States to agencies or other entities for educational or 
        education-related services or activities in the State because 
        of a significant concentration of eligible participants and the 
        local educational agencies that have jurisdiction over 
        elementary and secondary public schools, or that serve 
        elementary and secondary nonpublic schools, in which are 
        enrolled eligible participants who receive services paid for by 
        those amounts;
          (5) agree to ensure the Secretary that--
                  (A) to the extent consistent with the number of 
                eligible participants enrolled in elementary and 
                secondary nonpublic schools in the district served by a 
                local educational agency, the local educational agency, 
                after consulting with the appropriate officials of the 
                schools, will provide secular, neutral, and 
                nonideological materials, equipment, and services 
                necessary to educate those eligible participants;
                  (B) a public agency will--
                          (i) administer the amounts provided under 
                        this section for the materials, equipment, and 
                        services referred to in subclause (A) of this 
                        clause; and
                          (ii) own and administer property that is 
                        repaired, remodeled, or constructed with those 
                        amounts;
                  (C) those amounts will not be commingled with State 
                or local money; and
                  (D) a public agency will provide to each of those 
                elementary or secondary nonpublic schools the services 
                referred to in subclause (A) of this clause through--
                          (i) officers and employees under the control 
                        of the agency; or
                          (ii) a contract with a person or agency that 
                        is under the control of the public agency and, 
                        when providing the services, is independent of 
                        the school and of any religious organization; 
                        and
          (6) comply with section 13135(a) of this title.
  (d) Allocations.--(1) The Secretary shall allocate the amount 
appropriated to carry out this section for a fiscal year among the 
State educational agencies (except the agencies for American Samoa, 
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
Islands, and the Virgin Islands). Except as provided by this section 
and section 13136 of this title, the amount of the grant to which an 
agency is entitled under this section for a fiscal year is equal to the 
sum of--
          (A) the product of--
                  (i) the number of aliens who are enrolled eligible 
                participants in the State, during the period for which 
                the determination of that number is made, and who have 
                been eligible participants less than one year; 
                multiplied by
                  (ii) $700;
          (B) the product of--
                  (i) the number of aliens who are enrolled eligible 
                participants in the State, during the period for which 
                the determination is made, and who have been eligible 
                participants at least one year but not more than 2 
                years; multiplied by
                  (ii) $500; and
          (C) the product of--
                  (i) the number of aliens who are enrolled eligible 
                participants in the State, during the period for which 
                the determination is made, and who have been eligible 
                participants more than 2 years but not more than 3 
                years; multiplied by
                  (ii) $300.
  (2) If amounts are available for a fiscal year under other laws of 
the United States to agencies or other entities for educational or 
education-related services or activities in the State because of a 
significant concentration of eligible participants, the amount of the 
grant under paragraph (1) of this subsection for that fiscal year is 
reduced by those amounts.
  (e) Reallocation of Unused Amounts.--When the Secretary determines 
that a part of a payment made to a State educational agency under this 
section for a fiscal year will not be used by the agency to carry out 
the purpose for which the payment was made, the Secretary shall make 
that part available to another State educational agency to the extent 
the Secretary decides the other agency can use the additional amount to 
carry out the purpose. An amount made available under this subsection 
to a State educational agency from an appropriation for a fiscal year 
is deemed in this section to be a part of the grant (as determined 
under subsection (d) of this section) to that agency for that fiscal 
year, and remains available until the end of the next fiscal year.
  (f) Grant Amounts for Territories and Possessions.--The amounts of 
the grants to which the State educational agencies of American Samoa, 
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
Islands, and the Virgin Islands are entitled under this section are the 
amounts the Secretary determines they need based on criteria the 
Secretary prescribes. The total amount of those grants for a period may 
not be more than one percent of the amount authorized to be 
appropriated to carry out this section during the period. If the total 
of the amounts the Secretary determines those agencies need is more 
than one percent, the amount of the grant to each of those agencies is 
reduced proportionately so that the total is not more than one percent.
  (g) Providing Assistance to Nonpublic Schools When State Does Not.--
If a State is prohibited by law from providing materials, equipment, 
and services for children enrolled in elementary and secondary 
nonpublic schools as required by subsection (c)(5) of this section, or 
if the Secretary decides that a local educational agency has failed 
substantially to or will not provide for the participation on an 
equitable basis of eligible participants enrolled in those schools, the 
Secretary--
          (1) may waive the requirements of subsection (c)(5) of this 
        section; and
          (2) subject to the other requirements of this subchapter, 
        shall arrange that materials, equipment, and services be 
        provided for those eligible participants.

Sec. 13134. Adult education program grants

  (a) General Authority.--(1) The Secretary of Education shall make a 
grant, as provided by this subchapter, to each State educational agency 
for each fiscal year to be used to provide adult education programs to 
eligible participants at least 16 years of age in need of the services 
and not enrolled in an elementary or secondary public school under the 
jurisdiction of a local educational agency. The grant may be used for--
          (A) programs of instruction--
                  (i) to teach the eligible participants basic reading 
                and mathematics;
                  (ii) to develop and enhance skills needed by the 
                eligible participants; and
                  (iii) to promote literacy among the eligible 
                participants;
          (B) administrative costs of planning and operating the 
        programs referred to in clause (A) of this paragraph;
          (C) educational support services needed by the eligible 
        participants, including services to guide and counsel the 
        eligible participants about educational, career, and employment 
        opportunities; and
          (D) special projects designed to operate with existing 
        programs and activities that develop occupational and related 
        skills, particularly programs authorized under the Job Training 
        Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) or the Carl D. Perkins 
        Vocational Education Act (20 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.).
  (2) The State educational agency may use the grant only as provided 
in its application as approved under section 13135(b) of this title.
  (b) Applications.--To receive a grant under this section, the State 
educational agency must submit an application to the Secretary. In the 
application, the State educational agency must--
          (1) agree that payments under the grant will be used as 
        provided by subsection (a) of this section;
          (2) agree to make periodic reports to the Secretary 
        evaluating the effectiveness of those payments;
          (3) specify the amounts referred to in subsection (c)(2) of 
        this section that are made available under other laws of the 
        United States for expenditure in the State for the same purpose 
        for which an amount is made available under this section; and
          (4) comply with section 13135(a) of this title.
  (c) Allocations.--(1) The Secretary shall allocate the amount 
appropriated to carry out this section for a fiscal year among the 
State educational agencies (except the agencies for American Samoa, 
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
Islands, and the Virgin Islands). Except as provided by paragraph (2) 
of this subsection and section 13136 of this title, the amount of the 
grant to which an agency is entitled under this section for a fiscal 
year is equal to the product of--
          (A) the number of eligible participants at least 16 years of 
        age who, during the period for which the determination of that 
        number is made, are enrolled in programs of instruction 
        described by subsection (a)(1)(A) of this section and offered 
        in the State, but who are not enrolled in elementary and 
        secondary public schools under the jurisdiction of local 
        educational agencies; multiplied by
          (B) $300.
  (2) If amounts are available for a fiscal year under other laws of 
the United States for expenditure in the State for the same purpose for 
which an amount is made available under this section, the amount of the 
grant under paragraph (1) of this subsection for that fiscal year is 
reduced by those amounts. However, the reduction is made only to the 
extent the amounts are available under the other laws--
          (A) for that purpose specifically because the individuals 
        served by the amounts have refugee, parolee, or asylum status; 
        and
          (B) to assist individuals eligible for services under this 
        section.
  (d) Methods of Providing Programs.--(1) A State educational agency 
may provide adult education programs directly or may make grants to, or 
contracts with, local educational agencies, public agencies, and 
private nonprofit voluntary organizations to provide the programs. The 
State educational agency shall review an application for a grant or 
contract under this subsection in a way that is consistent with the 
purposes of section 306(b)(12) and (13) of the Adult Education Act.
  (2) The State educational agency shall use the grant it receives 
under this section in a way that enables the maximum number of eligible 
participants at least 16 years of age residing in the State to receive 
education under the programs of instruction described by subsection 
(a)(1)(A) of this section.
  (e) Grant Amounts for Territories and Possessions.--The amounts of 
the grants to which the State educational agencies of American Samoa, 
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory of the Pacific 
Islands, and the Virgin Islands are entitled under this section are the 
amounts the Secretary determines they need based on criteria the 
Secretary prescribes. The total amount of those grants for a period may 
not be more than one percent of the amount authorized to be 
appropriated to carry out this section during the period. If the total 
of the amounts the Secretary determines those agencies need is more 
than one percent, the amount of the grant to each of those agencies is 
reduced proportionately so that the total is not more than one percent.

Sec. 13135. Applications

  (a) Requirements.--(1) In its application for a grant under this 
subchapter, a State educational agency must agree--
          (A) to ensure that it will not disapprove finally any part of 
        a local educational agency's application for an amount of a 
        grant to the State educational agency under section 13132, 
        13133, or 13134 of this title without giving the local 
        educational agency reasonable notice and opportunity for a 
        proceeding; and
          (B) to make reports the Secretary of Education reasonably 
        requires to carry out this subchapter.
  (2) The State educational agency must submit an application at the 
time, in the way, and containing or accompanied by information, the 
Secretary requires.
  (b) Approval.--The Secretary shall approve an application meeting the 
requirements of this section and section 13132, 13133, or 13134 of this 
title, as the case may be. The Secretary may not disapprove finally an 
application without giving the applicant reasonable notice and 
opportunity for a hearing on the record.

Sec. 13136. Use of estimated information and consultation with other 
agencies

  (a) Use of Estimates.--When actual satisfactory information is not 
available, the Secretary of Education shall use estimates to determine 
for any period the number of eligible participants and the amount of a 
reduction required under section 13132(d), 13133(d)(2), or 13134(c)(2) 
of this title. A determination based on an overestimate or 
underestimate may not deprive a State educational agency of any part of 
the amount the agency would be entitled to receive under this 
subchapter if the determination were based on accurate information.
  (b) Consultation With Other Agencies.--To the extent it will make it 
easier to determine the amount of a reduction required under section 
13132(d), 13133(d)(2), or 13134(c)(2) of this title, the Secretary 
shall consult with the heads of other agencies providing assistance to 
eligible participants--
          (1) to obtain information about the amounts those agencies 
        disburse for educational purposes under programs the agency 
        heads administer; and
          (2) when feasible, to coordinate the programs those agency 
        heads administer and the programs under this subchapter.

Sec. 13137. State administrative costs

  The Secretary of Education may pay each State educational agency an 
amount equal to the amount the agency expends in carrying out its 
duties and powers properly and efficiently under this subchapter. 
However, the total payments for a period may not be more than 2 percent 
of the amount the agency receives for the period under this subchapter.

Sec. 13138. Withholding payments

  (a) Authority to Withhold.--When the Secretary of Education decides 
that a State educational agency receiving payments under section 13132, 
13133, or 13134 of this title, or a local educational agency or other 
entity receiving payments from the State educational agency under 
section 13134, is not complying with a requirement of this subchapter 
that applies to the section, the Secretary, until satisfied that there 
is no longer a failure to comply, shall--
          (1) stop making payments to the State educational agency 
        under section 13132, 13133, or 13134 of this title; or
          (2) prohibit the State educational agency from making 
        payments under section 13134 to the local educational agency or 
        other entity that is causing, or involved in, the failure.
  (b) Notice and Opportunity for Proceeding.--The Secretary--
          (1) may act under subsection (a) of this section only after 
        giving the State educational agency reasonable notice and 
        opportunity for a proceeding; and
          (2) shall notify the State educational agency of the action 
        the Secretary is taking under subsection (a) of this section.

Sec. 13139. Authorization of appropriations and allocation of total amount 
appropriated

  (a) General Authorization of Appropriations.--Amounts necessary to 
make grants to each State educational agency under this subchapter and 
to pay for administrative costs under section 13137 of this title may 
be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 19__. The 
amounts shall be appropriated in a lump sum for all programs under this 
subchapter.
  (b) Authorization of Appropriations for Basic Public Educational 
Services Grants.--To make grants to State educational agencies in the 
way provided under this section, an amount may be appropriated under 
subsection (a) of this section for each fiscal year equal to the 
product of--
          (1) the number of eligible participants enrolled in 
        elementary or secondary public schools under the jurisdiction 
        of local educational agencies in all States (except American 
        Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Trust Territory 
        of the Pacific Islands, and the Virgin Islands) during the 
        fiscal year for which the determination of that number is made; 
        multiplied by
          (2) $400.
  (c) Allocations of Appropriations.--(1) If the amounts appropriated 
for a fiscal year to make grants under this subchapter are not enough 
to pay the total amount of the grants to which State educational 
agencies are entitled under sections 13132-13134 of this title for the 
fiscal year, the allocation to each agency under each of those sections 
shall be ratably reduced so that the total of the allocations is not 
more than the amounts appropriated.
  (2) Allocations reduced under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall 
be increased on the same basis that they were reduced if amounts later 
become available to make grants under this subchapter for the period.

               SUBCHAPTER IV--CUBAN AND HAITIAN ENTRANTS

Sec. 13151. Definition

  In this subchapter, ``Cuban or Haitian entrant'' means--
          (1) an alien granted parole status as a Cuban/Haitian Entrant 
        (Status Pending) or granted another special status later 
        established under law for nationals of Cuba or Haiti, without 
        regard to the status of the alien when assistance is provided 
        under this subchapter; and
          (2) any other national of Cuba or Haiti--
                  (A)(i) paroled into the United States who has not 
                acquired another status under this title;
                  (ii) who is the subject of exclusion or deportation 
                proceedings under this title; or
                  (iii) having an application for asylum pending before 
                the Attorney General; and
                  (B) about whom a final, nonappealable, and legally

                entered.

Sec. 13152. Presidential authority

  The President has the same duties and powers related to a Cuban or 
Haitian entrant as the duties and powers vested under subchapter II of 
this chapter. Those duties and powers apply to assistance and services 
provided to a Cuban or Haitian entrant at any time after the entrant's 
arrival in the United States, including periods before October 10, 
1980. The President may provide by regulation that benefits granted 
under a law of the United States (except this title) to an individual

provided in the same way and to the same extent to a Cuban or Haitian 
entrant.

agency may provide assistance (including materials, supplies, 
equipment, work, services, or facilities) for the processing, care, 
security, transportation, and initial reception and placement in the 
United States of a Cuban or Haitian entrant on terms the President 
prescribes. The President may direct the head of one agency to detail 
personnel (on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis) for temporary 
duty with another agency that the President has directed to supervise 
or manage assistance under this section.
  (b) Reimbursement.--Amounts to carry out this section--

        political subdivisions for expenses incurred in providing 
        assistance under subsection (a) of this section; and
          (2) may be used to reimburse an agency providing assistance 
        under subsection (a) of this section.
  (c) Application of National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.--The 
carrying out of a duty or power under this section is not a major 
action of the United States Government significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment under the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

        educational programs, services, and activities paid for under 
        this chapter;
          (2) to ensure that payments under the grant will be used as 
        provided by section 13502 of this title;
          (3) to ensure that those payments will be allocated among the 
        local educational agencies in the State so that each agency

                for that agency under section 13504(a)(1) of this

                nonpublic schools in the district served by a local

                consulting with the appropriate officials of the 
                schools, will provide secular, neutral, and 
                nonideological materials, equipment, and services

                  (B) a public agency will--
                          (i) administer the amounts provided under

                        repaired, remodeled, or constructed with those 
                        amounts;
                  (C) those amounts will not be commingled with State 
                or local money; and
                  (D) a public agency will provide to each of those 
                elementary or secondary nonpublic schools the services 
                referred to in subclause (A) of this clause through--
                          (i) officers and employees under the control 
                        of the agency; or
                          (ii) a contract with a person or agency that 
                        is under the control of the public agency and, 
                        when providing the services, is independent of 
                        the school and of any religious organization.
  (b) Approval.--The Secretary shall approve an application meeting the 
requirements of subsection (a) of this section. The Secretary may not 
disapprove finally an application without giving the applicant 
reasonable notice and opportunity for a hearing on the record.

Sec. 13504. State entitlements

  (a) Allocations.--(1) The Secretary of Education shall allocate the 
amount appropriated to carry out this chapter for a fiscal year among 
the State educational agencies. Except as provided by this section, the 
amount of the grant to which an agency is entitled under this chapter 
for a fiscal year is equal to the product of--
          (A) the number of immigrant children enrolled during the 
        fiscal year in elementary and secondary public schools under 
        the jurisdiction of the local educational agencies of the State 
        and in elementary and secondary nonpublic schools in the 
        districts served by the local educational agencies of the 
        State; multiplied by
          (B) $500.
  (2)(A) If amounts are available for a fiscal year under other laws of 
the United States for expenditure in a State for the same purpose for 
which an amount is made available under this chapter, the amount of the 
grant under paragraph (1) of this subsection for that fiscal year is 
reduced by those amounts. However, the reduction shall be made only to 
the extent the amounts are available under the other laws--
          (i) for that purpose specifically because the individuals 
        served by the amounts have refugee, parolee, immigrant, or 
        asylum status; and
          (ii) to assist individuals eligible for services under this 
        chapter.
  (B) Subparagraph (A) of this paragraph does not apply to the extent a 
reduction is made under a comparable provision of another law of the 
United States in the amount available under that law for a fiscal year 
for expenditure in the State based on the amount assumed to be 
available under this chapter.
  (b) Determining Number of Immigrant Children.--(1) The Secretary 
shall determine the number of immigrant children for a State 
educational agency under this section based on information or estimates 
provided by the agency under criteria prescribed by the Secretary. 
However, after notice and opportunity for a proceeding, the Secretary 
may disregard information or estimates that the Secretary decides are 
clearly erroneous.
  (2) A determination under this subsection based on an overestimate or 
underestimate may not deprive a State educational agency of any part of 
the amount the agency would be entitled to receive under this chapter 
if the determination were based on accurate information.
  (c) Reallocation of Unused Amounts.--When the Secretary determines 
that a part of a payment made to a State educational agency under this 
chapter for a fiscal year will not be used by the agency to carry out 
the purpose for which the payment was made, the Secretary shall make 
that part available to another State educational agency to the extent 
the Secretary decides the other agency can use the additional amount to 
carry out the purpose. An amount made available under this subsection 
to a State educational agency from an appropriation for a fiscal year 
is deemed in this chapter to be a part of the grant (as determined 
under subsection (a) of this section) to that agency for that fiscal 
year, and remains available until the end of the next fiscal year.

Sec. 13505. Providing assistance to nonpublic schools when local agency 
does not

  (a) General Authority.--If a local educational agency is prohibited 
by law from providing materials, equipment, and services for children 
enrolled in elementary and secondary nonpublic schools as required by 
section 13503(a)(6) of this title, or if the Secretary of Education 
decides that a local educational agency has failed substantially or 
will not provide for the participation on an equitable basis of 
children enrolled in those schools, the Secretary--
          (1) may waive the requirements of section 13503(a)(6) of this 
        title; and
          (2) subject to the other requirements of this chapter, shall 
        arrange for materials, equipment, and services to be provided 
        for those children.
  (b) Waiver Requirements.--A waiver under this section is subject to 
consultation, withholding, notice, and judicial review requirements as 
provided by chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary 
Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.).

Sec. 13506. State administrative costs

  The Secretary of Education may pay each State educational agency an 
amount equal to the amount the agency expends in carrying out its 
duties and powers properly and efficiently under this chapter. However, 
the total payments for a period may not be more than 1.5 percent of the 
amount the agency is entitled to receive for the period under this 
chapter.

Sec. 13507. Withholding payments

  (a) Authority To Withhold.--When the Secretary of Education decides 
that a State educational agency receiving payments under this chapter, 
or a local educational agency receiving payments from the State 
educational agency, is not complying with a requirement of this 
chapter, the Secretary, until satisfied that there is no longer a 
failure to comply, shall--
          (1) stop making payments to the State educational agency 
        under this chapter; or
          (2) prohibit the State educational agency from making 
        payments under this chapter to the local educational agency 
        that is causing, or involved in, the failure.
  (b) Notice and Opportunity for Proceeding.--The Secretary--
          (1) may act under subsection (a) of this section only after 
        giving the State educational agency reasonable notice and 
        opportunity for a proceeding; and
          (2) shall notify the State educational agency of the action 
        the Secretary is taking under subsection (a) of this section.

Sec. 13508. Reports

  (a) Reports by State Educational Agencies.--Each State educational 
agency receiving amounts under this chapter shall submit a report each 
year to the Secretary of Education on the expenditure of amounts by 
local educational agencies of the States under this chapter. Each local 
educational agency of a State receiving amounts under this chapter 
shall submit to the State educational agency information necessary for 
the report.
  (b) Reports by the Secretary.--The Secretary shall submit a report 
twice a year to the appropriate committees of Congress about programs 
under this chapter.

Sec. 13509. Authorization and allocation of appropriations

  (a) Authorization of Appropriations.--Necessary amounts may be 
appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 19__, to make 
grants under this chapter and to pay for administrative costs under 
section 13506 of this title.
  (b) Allocations of Appropriations.--(1) If the amounts appropriated 
for a fiscal year to make grants under this chapter are not enough to 
pay the total amount of the grants to which State educational agencies 
are entitled under this chapter for the fiscal year, the allocation to 
each agency shall be ratably reduced so that the total of the 
allocations is not more than the amounts appropriated.
  (2) Allocations reduced under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall 
be increased on the same basis that they were reduced if amounts later 
become available to make grants under this chapter for the period.

Sec. 13704. Determining and paying allotments

  (a) Prescribing Allotment Formula.--From amounts appropriated under

Secretary of Health and Human Services shall allot to each State with 
an application approved under section 13703(a) of this title an amount 
determined by a formula, prescribed by the Secretary by regulation, 
that considers--
          (1) the number of eligible legalized aliens residing in the 
        State in that fiscal year;
          (2) the ratio of eligible legalized aliens in the State to--
                  (A) the total number of residents of the State; and
                  (B) the total number of eligible legalized aliens in 
                all States in that fiscal year;
          (3) the expenditures the State is likely to incur in that 
        fiscal year in providing assistance for eligible legalized 
        aliens for which reimbursement or payment may be made under

that it does not intend to use, in that fiscal year or in any 
subsequent fiscal year beginning before October 1, 1994, the complete

in the United States as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent 
residence may make a declaration of intention to be naturalized as a 
citizen of the United States. However, a declaration is not required 
for naturalization, does not confer nationality or the right to 
nationality on an alien, and is not evidence of lawful admission for 
permanent residence.

declaration in duplicate, accompanied by an application for a 
declaration. The application must be approved by the Attorney General.

        incapacitating to prevent the individual from filing in person.

          (1) include a statement that the individual has been lawfully 
        admitted for permanent residence;

the application shall continue as though the application had been filed 
originally in the district to which it is transferred.
  (e) Withdrawal and Lack of Prosecution.--An application for 
naturalization may be withdrawn only with the consent of the Attorney 
General. If the Attorney General does not consent to the withdrawal, 
the application shall be decided on its merits. If the applicant does

lack of prosecution. If the Attorney General does not dismiss the 
application for lack of prosecution, it shall be decided on its merits.

Sec. 20504. Proof of lawful entry and effect of deportation proceedings

  (a) Proof of Lawful Entry.--An applicant for naturalization has the 
burden of proving that the applicant entered the United States 
lawfully. To prove a lawful entry, the applicant is entitled to the

          (1) the applicant's immigrant visa or other entry document; 
        and
          (2) any other record in the custody of the Attorney General 
        related to the applicant's entry that the Attorney General does 
        not consider confidential.
  (b) Effect of Deportation Proceedings.--(1) Except as provided by 
sections 20312 and 20313 of this title--
          (A) an application for naturalization may not be considered

        and
          (B) an individual may not be naturalized as a citizen of the

Sec. 20506. Examinations

  (a) General.--The Attorney General shall designate officers and 
employees of the Immigration and Naturalization Service to conduct 
examinations of applicants for naturalization. Examinations shall be

  (a) Failure To Make Timely Decisions After Examinations.--If the 
officer or employee conducting an examination under section 20506 of 
this title does not make a decision on an application for 
naturalization within 120 days after the date of the examination, the 
applicant may request the district court of the United States for the 
district in which the applicant resides to hold a hearing on the 
matter. The court may--
          (1) order the application granted or denied; or
          (2) remand the matter, with appropriate instructions, to the 
        officer or employee conducting the examination.
  (b) Denials after Hearings.--An individual whose application for 
naturalization is denied after a hearing under section 20507 of this 
title may obtain review of the denial in the United States district 
court for the district in which the individual resides. At the

findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Supreme Being involving duties superior to those arising from a human 
relation, but does not include essentially political, sociological, or 
philosophical views or a personal moral code.
  (2) If an individual satisfies the Attorney General by clear and 
convincing evidence that, because of religious belief, the individual

Sec. 20510. Methods of oath administration

  (a) Public Ceremony.--To be naturalized as a citizen of the United 
States, an individual must take the oath required for naturalization in 
a public ceremony. However, the Attorney General may waive the public

        (c)(3) of this section.

take the oath before a court.
  (c) Expedited Oath Administration.--(1) On demonstrating sufficient

        developmental disability, or advanced age; and
          (B) exigent circumstances related to travel or employment.

the court shall refer the individual to the Attorney General. The 
Attorney General then may provide for immediate administration of the 
oath.
  (d) Public Ceremonies Conducted by Attorney General.--The Attorney 
General shall prescribe regulations to ensure that oath administration 
ceremonies conducted by the Attorney General are public, dignified, and 
conducted frequently and at regular intervals.

subchapter only by voluntarily performing any of the following acts 
with the intention of relinquishing nationality of the United States:
          (1) becoming a national of a foreign country, after becoming

                of the national.
          (2) taking an oath or making a declaration of allegiance to a

        after becoming 18 years of age.
          (3) entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign 
        country if--
                  (A) the armed forces are engaged in hostilities 
                against the <gr-thn-eq>United States; or
                  (B) the individual serves as a commissioned or 
                noncommissioned officer.
          (4) accepting, serving in, or carrying out the duties and 
        powers of an office, a post, or employment under the government 
        of a foreign country or a political subdivision of a foreign

                  (A) the individual is or becomes a national of the 
                foreign country; or
                  (B) the office, post, or employment requires an oath 
                or declaration of allegiance.

        Secretary of State prescribes.
          (6) making a formal written renunciation of nationality in 
        the United States in the way the Attorney General prescribes 
        before an officer or employee the Attorney General designates

        General approves the renunciation as not against the defense 
        interests of the United States.

        individual is convicted by a court or court martial:

Sec. 20702. Acts not resulting in loss of nationality

  (a) When National in the United States or American Samoa.--A national 
of the United States does not lose nationality under section 20701(1)-
(4) of this title when the national is in the United States or American 
Samoa. However, an act specified in section 20701(1)-(4) and carried 
out in the United States or American Samoa results in the loss of 
nationality when the national establishes a residence outside the 
United States and American Samoa.
  (b) When Entering or Serving in Armed Forces of a Foreign Country or 
Renouncing Nationality as a Minor.--A national of the United States 
does not lose nationality under section 20701(3) or (5) of this title 
when less than 18 years of age if the national claims the nationality 
within 6 months after becoming 18 years of age. The claim shall be made 
in the way the Secretary of State prescribes by regulation.
  (c) When Marrying a Male Alien.--Notwithstanding a treaty ratified by 
the Senate before December 25, 1952, a woman who was--
          (1) a national of the United States did not lose nationality 
        only because of marriage after--
                  (A) September 21, 1922, to an alien; or
                  (B) March 2, 1931, to an alien who was ineligible to 
                become a citizen of the United States because of race; 
                or
          (2) a citizen of the United States at birth did not lose 
        nationality because of residence outside the United States 
        after a marriage referred to in clause (1) of this subsection.

Sec. 20703. Presumption that act is done voluntarily

  An individual carrying out an act resulting in the loss of 
nationality under this subchapter or another law is presumed to have 
carried out the act voluntarily. The presumption may be rebutted on a 
showing by a preponderance of the evidence that the act was not carried 
out voluntarily.

              SUBCHAPTER II--REVOCATION OF NATURALIZATION

Sec. 20711. Application

  This subchapter applies to any naturalization and certificate of 
naturalization issued under this title or another law.

Sec. 20712. Grounds

  (a) General.--A court in which a civil action is brought under 
section 20713 of this title shall revoke the order of naturalization of 
an individual as a citizen of the United States and cancel the 
individual's certificate of naturalization if the court decides--
          (1) the order and certificate were obtained unlawfully, by 
        concealment of a material fact, or by willful 
        misrepresentation; or
          (2) for an individual naturalized under section 20313 of this 
        title, the individual was discharged from the armed forces of 
        the United States other than honorably.
  (b) Refusal To Testify Before Congressional Committee.--The refusal 
of an individual within 10 years after naturalization of the individual 
to testify as a witness before a congressional committee about 
subversive activities of the individual is concealment of a material 
fact or willful misrepresentation under subsection (a)(1) of this 
section if the individual is convicted of contempt for the refusal.
  (c) Membership In, or Affiliation With, Certain Organizations.--If an 
individual naturalized after December 24, 1952, became a member of or 
affiliated with an organization within 5 years after naturalization and 
the membership or affiliation at the time of naturalization would have 
prevented the individual from being naturalized under section 20331 of 
this title, the membership or affiliation is prima facie evidence that 
the individual was not attached to the principles of the Constitution 
and was not well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United 
States at the time of naturalization. If there is no contrary evidence, 
a court may act under subsection (a)(1) of this section because the 
naturalization was obtained by concealment of a material fact or by 
willful misrepresentation.
  (d) Permanent Residence in Foreign Country.--If an individual is 
naturalized and then establishes permanent residence in a foreign 
country within one year after naturalization, the permanent residence 
is prima facie evidence that the individual did not intend to reside 
permanently in the United States at the time the individual filed the 
application for naturalization. If there is no contrary evidence, a 
court may act under subsection (a)(1) of this section because the 
naturalization was obtained by concealment of a material fact or by 
willful misrepresentation.
  (e) Change of Status.--An individual is deemed to have obtained 
naturalization by concealment of a material fact or by willful 
misrepresentation if--
          (1) the individual was naturalized as a citizen of the United 
        States based on a record of lawful admission for permanent 
        residence made as a result of a change of the individual's 
        status;
          (2) the individual was not eligible for the change of status; 
        and
          (3) the Attorney General rescinds the change of status under 
        section 9107(a) of this title.
  (f) Proof of Certain Grounds for Revocation.--(1) Discharge from the 
armed forces of the United States other than honorably shall be proved 
by a certification from the head of the executive agency under which 
the individual served.
  (2) A diplomatic or consular officer in a foreign country shall give 
the Attorney General, through the Secretary of State, a list of 
individuals within the jurisdiction of the officer who establish 
permanent residence in a foreign country within one year after being 
naturalized as a citizen. A certified list is admissible in a civil 
action brought under section 20713 of this title.
  (g) Courts To Revoke Naturalization Orders When Naturalization 
Convictions Involved.--A court having jurisdiction to try a violation 
of section 1425 of title 18 has jurisdiction to revoke orders of 
naturalization and cancel certificates of naturalization. A court in 
which an individual is convicted of knowingly obtaining naturalization 
in violation of section 1425 shall revoke the order of naturalization 
of the individual as a citizen and cancel the certificate of 
naturalization of the individual.

Sec. 20713. Procedure

  (a) Bringing Civil Actions To Revoke.--If grounds exist under section 
20712 of this title, the Attorney General shall bring a civil action to 
revoke the order of naturalization of an individual as a citizen of the 
United States and to cancel the certificate of naturalization. When 
bringing the action, the Attorney General shall file an affidavit 
showing good cause.
  (b) Venue.--An action under this section shall be brought in a 
district court of the United States for the judicial district in which 
the individual resides. If the individual does not reside in a judicial 
district in the United States, the action may be brought in the United 
States District Court for the District of Columbia or the district in 
which the individual last resided.
  (c) Notice and Answer.--The individual shall be given personal notice 
and, unless waived, 60 days to answer in an action brought under this 
section. If the individual is absent from the United States or the 
judicial district in which the individual last resided, notice shall be 
given by personal service or by publication in the way provided for 
service by publication or on absentees by the law of the State or place 
in which the action is brought.
  (d) Effective Date of Revocation and Cancellation.--Revocation and 
cancellation under this subchapter are effective from the date of the 
naturalization order and certificate of naturalization.

Sec. 20714. Effect on automatic naturalization

  An individual claiming citizenship of the United States through the 
naturalization of a parent or spouse loses that citizenship when the 
order of naturalization of the parent or spouse as a citizen is revoked 
and the certificate of naturalization is canceled under--
          (1) section 20712(a)(1) of this title because the order and 
        certificate were obtained by concealment of a material fact or 
        by willful misrepresentation;
          (2) section 20712(a)(2) of this title on a ground other than 
        that the order and certificate were obtained by concealment of 
        a material fact or by willful misrepresentation, if the 
        individual does not reside in the United States when the order 
        is revoked and the certificate is canceled; or
          (3) section 20712(c) or (d) of this title, if the individual 
        does not reside in the United States when the order is revoked 
        and the certificate is canceled.

Sec. 20715. Cancellation of certificate of naturalization

  (a) Duties of Court.--A court revoking an order of naturalization as 
a citizen of the United States or canceling a certificate of 
naturalization, or both, under this subchapter shall prepare an order 
canceling the certificate and send a certified copy to the Attorney 
General.
  (b) Surrender of Canceled Certificate.--On notice by the court 
canceling a certificate of naturalization or by the Attorney General, 
an individual holding a canceled certificate of naturalization shall 
surrender it to the Attorney General.

Sec. 20716. Authority not affected

  This subchapter does not affect the authority of the Attorney General 
to reopen, change, or vacate an order of naturalization of an 
individual as a citizen of the United States.

        competent jurisdiction after naturalization.
  (2) The Attorney General shall notify the court that naturalized the 
citizen of the issuance of a new certificate under paragraph (1)(B) of
