168.6 Power of arrest.

Such immigrant inspector or patrol inspector, or any employee in the Immigration and Naturalization Service when designated by any district director, or inspector in charge of a district shall

have power and authority to execute any warrant or other process issued by any officer under any law regulating the admission, exclusion, or expulsion of aliens.* (43 Stat. 1049; 8 U. S. C. 110) 168.7 Hearing; when arrest is by immigrant inspector; when by patrol inspector. Any immigrant inspector may forthwith accord a hearing to any alien arrested by him as provided in § 168.6, to determine the right of such alien to remain in the United States, and such hearing shall be conducted in conformity with law and existing rules and regulations: Provided, That when the arrest is made by a patrol inspector who is not properly qualified as an immigrant inspector, the alien shall be taken before any immigrant inspector designated by the district director or inspector in charge of the district for examination, and such immigrant inspector shall conduct the proceedings in accordance with law and existing rules and regulations.* (43 Stat. 1049; 8 U. S. C. 110)

168.9 Moneys; collections for hospital expenses; how deposited. Moneys collected on account of hospital expenses of detained aliens shall be deposited to the credit of the proper appropriation or fund for the fiscal year in which such expenses were incurred.* (Secs. 11, 15, 18, 22, 35, 89 Stat. 881 ff; 8 U. S. C. 147, 151, 154, 159, 169)

168.10 Certificate of arrival; issuance. Officers in charge shall, upon receipt of preliminary Form N-300 or N-400 and N-215 or N-210 where the record shows admission for permanent residence on or before June 30, 1924, issue a certificate of arrival covering admission of the alien concerned. If admission after June 30, 1924, is recorded and an immigration visa or permit to reenter was presented, the facts of entry should be endorsed in the box on the naturalization forms, and the case forwarded to the Central Office without issuance of a certificate of arrival. Where admission for permanent residence after June 30, 1924, is verified, but no immigration visa or reentry permit was required, Form I-404 should be issued and forwarded to the Central Office with other papers in the case. Where the record discloses that the alien was not admitted for permanent residence, or if no record of admission is found, appropriate endorsement should be made as to the type of entry, or lack of record, in the box on the naturalization forms under the heading, "Record Found." In cases where there is reason to believe that the alien is unlawfully in the United States and subject to deportation, the papers received should be transmitted for investigation to the officer in charge of the district in which the alien is shown by the naturalization form to be residing, and the office from which the request for verification was received should be notified of the action taken. Mimeograph forms may be employed for this purpose. No certificate of arrival shall be issued in behalf of an alien on the basis of an original entry which under the provisions of § 110.38 of this chapter is presumed for reentry purposes to have been a lawful admission for permanent residence. A certificate of arrival will be issued on the basis of the reentry of such an alien where there

*For statutory citation, see note to § 168.4.

is a manifest record showing that the reentry was by lawful admission for permanent residence.*

168.11 Verification of arrival of lawfully resident alien relative of applicant for visa. In order that American consuls may be advised whether the husband, father or mother of an alien applying for a visa under section 6 (a) (2), of the Immigration Act of 1924 (43 Stat. 155; 8 U. S. C. 206), or any other relative of an applicant for a visa has been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence, a Form I-475 should be furnished to the husband, father or mother or interested relative upon request therefor. The form should be filled out by the applicant and mailed to the immigration and naturalization officer in charge at the port of his or her last entry, if arrival was before July 1, 1924, and to the Central Office, if arrival was after that date on an immigration visa, or a reentry permit, or if arrival is based on a record of registry. The certification on the reverse of Form I-475 will be executed in every case where a record is found. A statement will be made under "Remarks" to show the character of the admission and any discrepancies observed between the statements in the Form I-475 and the facts shown by the record of admission. The Form I-475 will be mailed direct by the verifying office to the "Department of State, Washington, D. C." for transmittal to the appropriate American consul abroad. The date of verification and the consulate to which the form is to be sent should be noted on the record of admission. If no record of the alleged arrival can be found the Form I-475 will be returned to the applicant with a statement to that effect, unless investigation is deemed necessary to determine the need for further action by the Service. In verifications made by ports of entry where the manifest record shows a permit number, a departure reference, a Central Office file number, or where the entry appears to be fraudulent, the request will be routed through the Central Office for checking and appropriate action.* (Sec. 3, 45 Stat. 1009, sec. 2, 47 Stat. 656; 8 U.S. C. 206)

168.12 Reporting condition of vessels. Immigration officers who board vessels arriving at United States ports for the purpose of inspecting passengers or crew shall observe the conditions prevailing upon the vessel with respect to sanitation and the comfort of passengers and crew; and such officers in every instance shall submit a report in triplicate to the official in charge at the port. Two copies of such report shall be forwarded to the Central Office in order that any such further action as may be deemed necessary may be taken. (Sec. 11, 39 Stat. 881; 8 U. S. C. 147)

168.13 Prosecutions under section 10; Immigration Act of 1917, as amended; procedure. District directors or inspectors in charge shall, whenever they ascertain or have reason to believe that the provisions of section 10 of the Immigration Act of 1917, as amended by section 27 of the Immigration Act of 1924 (43 Stat. 167; 8 U. S. C. 146), have been violated by any person or by any owner, officer, or agent of a vessel or transportation line, promptly serve notice upon such person, owner, officer, or agent that it is

his intention to recommend to the Attorney General that a prosecution be brought; and such person, owner, officer, or agent shall be allowed 60 days within which to submit to the Department, through the district director or inspector in charge and the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, a statement of reasons why the proposed proceedings should not be brought or why they should be in personam rather than in rem.*

168.14 Official correspondence. Correspondence and reports shall be sent through official channels addressed to the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, Washington, D. C. Telegrams shall be addressed "Immigration and Naturalization Service, Washington, D. C."; and in telegraphing, the code provided by the Service shall be used to the fullest extent possible.*
