SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Nonresident Alien Mexican Border Crossing Card
The Nonresident Alien Border Crossing Card, Form I-586 (BCC), is a
document of identity issued by the Service at land border Ports-of-
Entry (POEs) along the United States and Mexican border to accommodate
Mexican nationals residing in the border area. Prevailing United States
statutes and regulations require that Mexican nationals be in
possession of valid travel documents to prove identity and nationality
when applying for admission to the United States. To meet these
requirements, the BCC is issued as a service to eligible Mexican
citizens who are residents of Mexico for the purpose of facilitating
their entry into the United States. A BCC may be used as the sole entry
document by a Mexican citizen seeking to enter the United States for
business (B-1) or pleasure (B-2) across a land border, or it may be
presented in lieu of a B-1/B-2 nonimmigrant visa by a Mexican citizen
seeking to enter the United States as a temporary visitor for business
or pleasure at POEs other than land border crossings. A BCC holder
entering the United States at a southern land border POE who will
remain within 25 miles of the Mexican border for 72 hours or less
requires no other immigration documentation. A BCC holder who wishes to
remain in the United States for longer than 72 hours, or to travel
beyond the 25-mile limit, must request permission. Depending on the
circumstances of the request, Form I-444 (Mexican Border Visitors
Permit) will be issued, or the person's visit to the United States will
be controlled by issuing Service Form I-94. Form I-444 conveys
permission to remain in the United States for up to 30 days and to
travel anywhere within the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New
Mexico or Texas. Form I-94 is used to authorize entry to the United
States beyond these states, or for longer periods of time. A BCC holder
must remain a resident of Mexico to be eligible to retain and use the
card.
The service first began issuing the current Form I-586 BCC in 1980.
The previous version of the BCC, Nonresident Alien Mexican Border
Crossing Card, Form I-186 BCC, is still in circulation and serves the
same purpose. A Form I-186 BCC in the possession of the rightful
cardholder remains valid until revoked or voided, and may be replaced
by Form I-586 BCC if it becomes lost, stolen or mutilated, or if the
applicant requests a new card for other reasons, such as a name change.
The current Form I-586 has a 10 year validity.
When the Service originally began issuing BCCs in the early 1950's
the BCCs were issued sparingly and with an expiration date. Over the
years, an erosion in the original stringent standards for BCC issuance
and a lack of uniformity in issuance procedures from one POE to another
have resulted in a large expenditure of time and effort in the
detection of mala fide applicants and the revocation of BCCs that have
been misused or fraudulently obtained. In Fiscal Year 1993, nearly
25,000 BCCs were intercepted by the Service after issuance for reasons
of fraud, counterfeiting, alteration, use by impostors, and other
improper use.
The lack of uniformity in issuance procedures has been raised
periodically over the years. The changes to the Mexican BCC issuance
procedures proposed in this rule were recommended at a border crossing
card workshop comprised of representatives from Service Headquarters
and the Service's Regional Offices, who determined that current
regulations should be amended to strengthen and clarify the border
crossing card application process. Additional suggestions came from
field offices involved in issuance of the BCC.
Requirements and Procedures for Issuance
The documentary evidence necessary for the adjudication of a BCC is
similar to that required for a nonimmigrant visa filed at an American
Consulate in Mexico. The specific evidentiary requirements may be found
at 8 CFR 212.6(b). The purpose of this documentation is to establish
that the applicant is a Mexican citizen, has a domicile in Mexico which
he or she has no intention of abandoning, and is likely to have
adequate funds to pay for all expenses during any proposed visits to
the United States. The applicant for a BCC must also meet the
definition of a visitor for business or a visitor for pleasure as
defined in section 101(a)(15)(B) of the Immigration and
[[Page 4375]]
Nationality Act (Act). Section 214(b) of the Act also provides that
these conditions be met before issuance of an entry document.
Currently, the documents accepted and standards used in the
issuance of the BCC vary widely in different areas, causing
inconsistencies in the ability to obtain the benefit, and frequent
interception and revocation of BCCs that have been misused or
fraudulently obtained. This rule proposes to clarify the standards for
issuance of border crossing cards by providing a list of documentary
evidence that the applicant may present to a Service officer to
establish residence and economic solvency. The list of evidence is
comprehensive enough to allow for flexibility on the part of both the
applicant and the adjudicating officer, and includes documents that may
be accepted as primary as well as secondary evidence.
Insufficient personnel resources, seasonal fluctuations in
vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and uneven distribution of
application workload have all contributed to increased waiting times
for appointments, adjudication of applications, and issuance of BCCs.
To help alleviate the increased waiting period for BCC applicants, this
rule proposes to expedite the process by providing guidelines for
issuance of temporary border crossing documents to applicants who have
no prior violations and who appear to meet all requirements for
issuance.
The BCC is intended for use by Mexicans living in the immediate
border area who are frequent crossers. Because of the disparity in
population concentration in Mexican border states, it is difficult to
uniformly define the term ``border area'' for purposes of determining
who may apply for a BCC at a Port-of-Entry. Currently, some POEs accept
applications from residents of area far distant from the border,
resulting in overwhelming workload and diversion of staff from the
primary function of inspecting vehicular and pedestrian traffic, which
is a mandatory, statutory duty that must take precedence over BCC
issuance. In attempting to obtain an equitable distribution of
workload, neither limiting nor unduly burdening any particular
district, the Service conducted a survey of Service districts along the
Mexican border for their opinions concerning the distance into Mexico
from which to accept applications. Since population distribution varies
so greatly, this rule proposes to set a maximum geographical
jurisdiction for acceptance of BCC applications by Service districts
based upon the corresponding Mexican state boundaries. It also allows
some discretion on the part of the district director to account for
population concentrations along the border, by permitting further
limitation or subdivision within that area. One example of this
discretion might be for a district director to limit applications for
BCCs to Mexican citizens living within a specified number of miles from
the border. Another example might be for the district director to
specify which of several Ports-of-Entry will accept applications,
according to the place of residence in Mexico.
Canadian Nonresident Alien Border Crossing Card
The Form I-185, Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card
(CBCC), is an identity document intended to facilitate the entry into
the United States of certain Canadian citizens, and British subjects
who are lawful permanent residents of Canada. Since the passport and
visa requirements are waived by regulation for Canadian citizens and
British subjects residing in Canada when crossing the United States-
Canadian border, the CBCC is generally issued to an eligible applicant
who is inadmissible to the United States pursuant to section 212(a) of
the Act, and who has been granted a waiver of that inadmissibility
pursuant to section 212(d)(3)(B) of the Act. According, the CBCC acts
as evidence of a permanent waiver of inadmissibility for the holder of
the document, because the CBCC currently is valid until revoked.
Current regulations relating to the issuance of CBCCs are included
in the provisions for issuance of Mexican BCCs. The proposed regulatory
language segregates the provisions of issuance of the two documents and
separately addresses issues relating to use of the BCC and CBCC,
procedures for application, and procedures and grounds for denial.
Variances in application procedures are in part made necessary due to
differing documentary requirements for entry to the United States for
Mexican nationals and Canadian nationals. Additionally, the volume of
applications for the BCC far exceeds that of the CBCC. The proposed
rule also proposes an expiration date.
The CBCC has traditionally been used by individuals seeking entry
as B-1 or B-2 visitors for business or pleasure. While use of the CBCC
for entry is not restricted to these nonimmigrant categories, the
proposed language specifically includes entry in any nonimmigrant
classification for which a visa is not required. This language will
allow the holder of a CBCC to seek entry in all nonimmigrant categories
except E (Treaty Trader/Investor) and K (Fiance/Fiancee), and will
serve to facilitate the entry of business persons and thereby comport
with provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The current regulation contains no provision for denial of an
application made on Form I-175, Application for Non-Resident Alien's
Canadian Border Crossing Card. The proposed rule addresses both the
procedural and substantive aspects of denial of Form I-175. No form is
currently in use for denial of Form I-175. The proposed rule allows for
denial to be made by letter from the district director, thereby
precluding the need for distribution of a new form. No appeal from a
denial will be available. In cases where a waiver of excludability has
been denied, or where the waiver is valid for a restricted number of
entries, the proposed rule provides that the Form I-175 application for
a CBCC shall also be denied. When restrictions have been placed on the
waiver, the district director has the discretion to deny issuance of
the CBCC.
As stated previously, the CBCC is currently valid until revoked or
voided. The proposed rule provides for a change in the term of validity
of the CBCC and allows for issuance of a card valid for a maximum
period of 10 years. Aliens who presently submit Form I-192, Application
for Advance Permission to Enter as Nonimmigrant (for advance permission
to enter as nonimmigrants) are issued waiver forms valid for 6 months
to 1 year. Regulations at 8 CFR 212.4(c) allow for such waivers, if
granted in conjunction with issuance of a CBCC, to be valid for the
validity period of the border crossing card. The proposed rule will
allow for periodic review of the cases of those aliens who have applied
for and been granted CBCCs. Limiting the period of validity for the
CBCC is consistent with the Service practice of limiting validity of
other similar identity documents.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has
reviewed this regulation and, by approving it, certifies that the rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities because of the following factors: The BCCs and CBCCs are
applied for by individuals, not small entities; and, the rule simply
codifies policies and procedures that have been in place for
[[Page 4376]]
many years, imposing no additional burden on applicants or small
entities.
Executive Order 12866
This rule is not considered by the Department of Justice,
Immigration and Naturalization Service, to be a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, section 3(f),
Regulatory Planning and Review, and the Office of Management and Budget
has waived its review process under section 6(a)(3)(A).
Executive Order 12612
The regulations proposed herein will not have substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the National
Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this rule
does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection requirements contained in this rule have
been cleared by the Office of Management and Budget under the
Provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act. Clearance numbers for these
collection are contained in 8 CFR 299.5, Display of Control Numbers.
List of Subjects

2. Section 212.6 is amended by:
a. Revising paragraphs (a) and (b);
b. Removing paragraphs (c) and (f); and by
c. Redesignating paragraphs (d) and (e) as paragraphs (c) and (d)
respectively, to read as follows:
Sec. 212.6 Nonresident alien border crossing cards.
(a) Mexican. (1) Use of Nonresident Alien Border Crossing Cards.
The rightful holder of a Nonresident Alien Mexican Border Crossing
Card, Form I-186, or Nonresident Alien Border Crossing Card, Form I-
586, applying for admission from contiguous territory as a visitor for
business or as a visitor for pleasure, may be admitted under
Sec. 235.1(f) and (g) of this chapter if found otherwise admissible.
Persons in possession of Form I-186 may continue its use because it
serves the same purpose as the Form I-586, which is the card currently
issued. The Form I-186 remains valid until revoked or voided, and may
be replaced by Form I-586 if it becomes lost, stolen or mutilated, or
if the applicant requests a new card. An alien in possession of Form I-
186 or Form I-586 seeking entry as a visitor for business or pleasure
must also present a valid passport and shall be issued Form I-94 if the
alien is applying for admission from:
(i) A country other than Mexico or Canada, or
(ii) Canada if the alien has been in a country other than the
United states or Canada since leaving Mexico.
(2) Application. A citizen of Mexico must apply for a nonresident
border crossing card on Form I-190, Application for Nonresident Alien
Mexican Border Crossing Card. To be considered a complete application,
the Form I-190, Application must be accompanied by:
(i) Evidence of Mexican citizenship in the form of a valid,
unexpired Mexican international passport or a valid Mexican Form 13;
(ii) Three color photographs with a white or off-white background.
The photographs must be glossy or matte finish, unretouched, and not

showing the right side of the face with both the right ear and left eye
visible; and,
(iii) Proof that the applicant has a foreign residence abroad which
he or she has no intention of abandoning. Proof includes but is not
limited to evidence of economic solvency and established residence in
Mexico for a minimum period of the past 6 months immediately prior to
the date of the applicant's interview.
(A) Primary evidence of employment or economic solvency. Evidence
of employment or economic solvency may consist of but is not limited
to: pay checks, salary stubs, or an original pay receipt list (no
photocopies) where the employee signed for salary for a minimum period
of the last 6 months, or evidence of business ownership and current
local government business licenses, and local, state, and Federal tax
receipts for the current year. An applicant who is not self-supporting
must be accompanied at the time of applicant's interview by the person
providing support, or the applicant must provide sufficient documentary
proof of support, as previously described, on behalf of the person
providing support. In cases where an applicant claims to be married to
the person providing support, his or her marriage certificate must be
presented.
(B) Secondary evidence of economic solvency (to overcome
deficiencies in primary evidence). Evidence may consist of but is not
limited to: current bank statements or transactions showing continuous
solvency for a minimum period of the last 6 months immediately prior to
the date of interview, or if the applicant is a member of the Mexican
Social Security Health Plan, the most recent payment receipt and/or
recent identification showing current membership, showing economic
solvency.
(C) Primary evidence of residence abroad. If an applicant is
renting his or her residence, evidence may consist of but is not
limited to: rent receipts, utility receipts, or a rental agreement
bearing the applicant's name. If an applicant is the property owner of
his or her residence, evidence may consist of the residential property
deed, utility receipts for the claimed place of residence bearing the
applicant's name, or current property tax receipts. When an applicant
resides with relatives, the officer may accept evidence of residence in
the relative's name if the residential relationship is established to
the satisfaction of the adjudicating officer.
(d) Other forms of secondary evidence of residence abroad which may
be accepted. Evidence may consist of but is not limited to: a manifest
of acreage farmed signed by the Secretary of Agriculture with an
official seal from the local government, a letter from the Municipal
Inspector of Cattle stating the size of an applicant's herd and/or
evidence of brand registration, identification card indicating
applicant is a cattle rancher or farmer, bookkeeping records,
postmarked correspondence, and, if a student, school records. If
applying for a border
[[Page 4377]]
crossing card during the summer vacation, a student's previous school
year documents and evidence of intention to enroll for the following
school year are required.
(3) Submission of Form I-190. (i) Form I-190, Application for Non-
Resident Alien's Mexican Border Crossing Card, shall be properly
completed and submitted in accordance with Sec. 212.6(a)(3)(ii) of this
part to an immigration officer at a southern land border Port-of-Entry.
(ii) Only residents of the border states in Mexico are eligible to
file Form I-190 with an immigration officer at a southern land border
Port-of-Entry. District directors may also, at their discretion,
further subdivide their area of jurisdiction among specific Port-of-
Entry within a district, or further limit the area from which Mexican
residents may apply. These limitations may include, but are not
restricted to, accepting applications only from residents of a specific
municipality with a Mexican border state, or from Mexican nationals
residing within a specific distance from the border. The maximum
geographical jurisdiction for acceptance of applications for a border
crossing card at a Port-of-Entry shall be divided as follows:
(A) The San Diego District may only accept applications from
residents of the State of Baja California;
(B) The Phoenix District may only accept applications from
residents of the State of Sonora;
(C) The El Paso District may only accept applications from
residents of the State of Chihuahua;

residents of the States of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and the city of Nuevo
Laredo;
(E) The Harlingen District may only accept applications from
residents of the States of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas.
(iii) An applicant who does not reside within this designated
border area in Mexico must apply to the American consulate having
jurisdiction over his or her place of residence for a nonimmigrant visa
or Border Crossing Card.
(4) Interview. Each applicant, regardless of age, must appear in
person for an interview concerning eligibility for a nonresident alien
border crossing card. However, the district director may waive the
interview requirement for children under 6 years of age where the
parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have a Border Crossing Card.
(5) Denial of Form I-190. If the applicant cannot demonstrate that
he or she has a foreign residence which he or she has no intention of
abandoning, his or her application for a border crossing card shall be
denied. If the application is denied, the applicant shall be given a
written notice of denial and the reasons for the denial. There is no
appeal form the denial of the Form I-586. The applicant is not
precluded form filing a new application, however, the applicant may not
submit a subsequent application for a border crossing card to the
Service for at least 180 days.
(6) Issuance of temporary card. Prior to the interview with an
applicant, the Service will complete appropriate database inquiries for
each applicant over the age of 14. Following adjudication by an
immigration officer, if the application is approved, a temporary
document shall be issued using the third copy of the Form I-190. A
photo of the applicant shall be affixed to the temporary document, with
the admission stamp partially covering the photo. A scheduled date for
pick up of the Form I-586 BCC shall also be stamped on the form. The
temporary document shall be issued for a specified period of time in
increments to be determined by the district director, based on the
current timeframe needed for card production and mailing from the
Immigration Card Facility. However, the district director may decline
to issue a temporary document if the timeframe for card production and
mailing from the Immigration Card Facility is 30 calendar days or less.
(7) Validity. The Form I-586 BCC shall be valid for 10 years from
the date of issuance or until revoked or voided by the service.
Notwithstanding any expiration date which may appear thereon, Form I-
186 BCC is valid until revoked or voided. Any Form I-186 BCC or Form I-
586 BCC issued to a minor child must be surrendered within 30 days of
the child attaining the age of 14 years, and a new Form I-586 BCC may
be issued bearing the holder's signature and fingerprint upon
submission of a new Form I-190, without fee, and evidence of continued
eligibility.
(b) Canadian. (1) Use of Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing
Card, Form I-185. Any Canadian citizen or lawful permanent resident
(landed immigrant) of Canada having a common nationality with nationals
of Canada, may use Form I-185 CBCC for entry at a United States Port-
of-Entry. Entry may be made in any nonimmigrant classification which
does not require prior issuance of a visa pursuant to Sec. 212.1.
(2) Application. A citizen of Canada or a lawful permanent resident
of Canada having a common nationality with nationals of Canada must
apply for a non-resident alien border crossing card on Form I-175,
Application for Nonresident Alien's Canadian Border Crossing Card, in
duplicate. To be considered a complete application, the Form I-175 must
be accompanied by the following:
(i) Evidence of Canadian citizenship, or if a permanent resident of
Canada, evidence of valid landed immigrant status and evidence of
having common nationality with nationals of Canada;
(ii) Proof that the applicant has a foreign residence abroad which
he or she has no intention of abandoning;
(iii) Three color photographs with a white or off-white background.
the photographs must be glossy or matte finish, unretouched, and not
mounted The dimensions of the facial image must be approximately 1 inch
from the chin to the top of the hair and from the left cheek to the
right ear, and the applicant must be shown in a \3/4\ frontal view
showing the right side of the face with both the right ear and left eye
visible; and,
(iv) A fee as prescribed in Sec. 103.7(b)(1) of this chapter.
(v) Additionally, those applicants who are seeking issuance of Form
I-185 to function as a waiver of inadmissibility shall submit, in
conjunction with Form I-175, a completed Form I-192, Application for
Advance Permission to Enter as a Nonimmigrant, and all required
documentation pursuant to Sec. 212.4 of this chapter.
(3) Submission of Form I-175. Form I-175 shall be properly
completed and submitted to an immigration officer at a Canadian border
Port-of-Entry located within the district having jurisdiction over the
applicant's residence or intended Port-of-Entry.
(4) Denial of Form I-175. In the case of an applicant seeking a
waiver of inadmissibility, Form I-175 shall be denied in each case in
which the accompanying Form I-192 is denied. In the case of an
applicant for whom a Form I-192 has been approved for a restricted
number of entries, Form I-175 shall be denied. In the case of an
applicant for whom a Form I-192 has been approved for multiple entries,
Form I-175 may be denied at the discretion of the district director if
the waiver is the first such waiver granted to the applicant, or if the
waiver order contains any restrictions or limitations on the alien's
entry. If the Form I-175 application is denied, the applicant shall be
given written notice of and the reasons for the denial by letter form
the district director. There is no appeal from the denial of Form I-
175, but the denial is without prejudice to a subsequent
[[Page 4378]]
application for admission to the United States. The applicant is not
precluded from filing a new application, however, the applicant may not
submit a subsequent application for a border crossing card to the
Service for at least 180 days.
(5) Issuance of Form I-185. Following approval of Form I-175, each
applicant is required to appear in person for issuance of Form I-185,
Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card.
(6) Validity. Form I-185 shall be valid for 10 years from date of
issuance, or until revoked or voided.
