        presented substantial evidence to establish prima facie 
        eligibility for relief from deportation under section 212(c), 
        the court shall request the Attorney General to provide the 
        court with a recommendation and report regarding the alien's 
        eligibility for relief under such section. The court shall 
        either grant or deny the relief sought.
            ``(D)(i) The alien shall have a reasonable opportunity to 
        examine the evidence against him or her, to present evidence on

        of the right to appeal the conviction on which the order of 
        deportation is based, the expiration of the period described in 
        section 106(a)(1), or the final dismissal of an appeal from 
        such conviction, the order of deportation shall become final 
        and shall be executed at the end of the prison term in 
        accordance with the term of the order.

subsections:
    ``(e) Notwithstanding subsection (a), an alien may only be granted

the alien's entry into the United States, unless the alien establishes 
by clear and convincing evidence that since the date of entry into the 
United States circumstances have changed in the alien's country of 
nationality (or, in the case of a person having no nationality, the 
country in which such alien last habitually resided) such that, if the 
alien returned to the country, it is more likely than not that the 
alien would be arrested or incarcerated or the alien's life would be 
threatened in such country on account of race, religion, nationality, 
membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
    ``(f) An alien is not eligible for asylum under this section if the 
Attorney General determines that--
            ``(1) the alien ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise 
        participated in the persecution of any person on account of 
        race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social 
        group, or political opinion;

        of a particularly serious crime, constitutes a danger to the 
        community of the United States;

        alien has committed a serious nonpolitical crime outside the 
        United States prior to the arrival of the alien in the United 
        States;
            ``(4) there are reasonable grounds for regarding the alien 
        as a danger to the security of the United States; or
            ``(5) a country willing to accept the alien has been 
        identified (other than the country described in subsection (e)) 
        to which the alien can be deported or returned and the alien 
        does not establish that it is more likely than not that the 
        alien would be arrested or incarcerated or the alien's life 
        would be threatened in such country on account of race, 
        religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, 
        or political opinion.
For purposes of paragraph (2), an alien who has been convicted of a 
felony shall be considered to have committed a particularly serious 
crime. The Attorney General shall prescribe regulations that specify 
additional crimes that will be considered to be a crime described in 
paragraph (2) or (3).''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 208(a) of such Act (8 U.S.C.
