In the event of an appeal by a dissenting inspector no further proceedings shall be taken in the case pending the outcome of the appeal.*

142.16 Preexamination; where alien found admissible.

The letter to the Canadian officer shall state the purpose of the alien's visit; shall guarantee that the alien, if admitted to Canada while in possession of an unexpired Border Crossing Card, will be readmitted to the United States; and shall have the alien's photograph securely attached. The Border Crossing Card issued to the alien shall be taken up by the United States Immigration officer at the port of reentry to the United States. If reentry is to be made at a place other than that where the preexamination was conducted, Form I-448 in duplicate, a copy of the Canadian letter, and duplicate copy of the Border Crossing Card with photograph attached, shall be sent to the port of proposed reentry prior to the alien's departure to Canada.*

142.17 Preexamination; readmission with immigration visa. Any alien found admissible in preexamination proceedings to whom an immigration visa has been issued shall be admitted to the United States for permanent residence upon presentation of such visa and of his Border Crossing Card, unless for reasons developed subsequently to the preexamination it shall appear that he is inadmissible in which event he shall be permitted to reenter for the sole purpose of being taken into custody by the immigration officers at the port of reentry who shall make a record of such limited reentry and at once apply to the Central Office for a warrant of arrest in deportation proceedings.*

142.18 Preexamination; readmission without immigration visa.
