§ 132.1 Aliens returning to unrelinquished domicile; domicile defined. Aliens returning after a temporary absence to an unrelinquished United States domicile of seven consecutive years may be admitted in the discretion of the Attorney General and under such conditions as he may prescribe. In such case satisfactory proof of domicile in the United States for seven consecutive years, and of departure therefrom with the intention of returning thereto, will be exacted. Every case of exclusion for any cause in which the alien has given such proof, shall be promptly brought by the official in charge to the attention of the Attorney General, through the usual official channels, with a complete report of the reasons for the alien's exclusion and of the proof which has been offered of continuous and unrelinquished domicile, together with a statement of the duration of the absence. Domicile, for the purposes of this section, means that place where a person has his true, fixed, and permanent home, and principal establishment, to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning.* (Sec. 3, 39 Stat. 875; 8 U. S. C. 136 (p))

S. C. 136), because found to be unable to read, or as a native of that portion of the continent of Asia and the islands adjacent thereto described in said section, if it appears to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that these disabilities might have been detected by the exercise of reasonable precaution prior to the departure of such alien from abroad.*
