Salam
Permias,
Saya banyak mendapat pertanyaan tentang dokumen yang harus
dibawa untuk special registration di United States Immigration and
Naturalization Services (INS).
Sebetulnya, daftar dokumen itu bisa dilihat dari INS Q&A
yang lumayan panjang dan sudah saya kirimkan sebelumnya. Penggalan Q&A yang
berkaitan dengan dokumen bisa dilhat di bawah.
Kalau berkunjung ke INS, maka pedomannya
adalah:
"Semakin komplit dokumen yang dibawa, maka semakin
baik."
Sebagai contoh, teman saya dari negara lain yang
sudah melapor ke INS juga membawa:
- surat pengantar dari International Student
Office
- surat dari Dean (karena ia dapat
beasiswa).
Alhamdulillah ia sudah melapor dengan
selamat.
Anda juga HARUS menengok website di bawah
ini.
Banyak "insider information" di web site
tersebut.

Menurut web INS, barang yang harus di bawa adalah: WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I GO TO REGISTER? At the interview, you will be fingerprinted and photographed. You need to bring your passport and Form I-94 (Arrival - Departure Record), any other forms of government-issued identification documents that you have been issued, and proof of residence, employment or school matriculation. For example: * If you are living in the United States, you could bring a lease or rental agreement, utility bills, etc. to show where you live. * If you are staying with friends or relatives, you could bring documents such as a postmarked envelope or bill showing their name and address. * If you are in the United States because of a job, you could bring a payroll stub, an employment contract, etc. * If you are in the United States to go to school, you could bring your class schedule, official notification of your grade(s), your class or yearbook picture, student identification card, evidence of participation in extracurricular activities, etc. You may also be asked additional questions of a national security or law enforcement nature. The interviewing officer could also ask another INS officer to interview you. If necessary, you should bring someone to translate for you. A parent or legal guardian may accompany juveniles under the age of 18. Legal representation is not necessary, but at your option, you may be represented at your own expense by the legal counsel of your choice. When you have been registered, the officer will mark your Form I-94 to indicate that you have complied with the registration requirement. If you have lost your Form I-94, you may apply for a replacement at the time of registration. You will have to file an application and pay any required filing fee to replace the lost document. The filing fee is currently $85. |
