As part of the migration strategy that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has promoted since his return to the White House, a new program seeking to provide clarity regarding foreigners in the United States will be implemented.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), this measure applies to all foreign individuals who remain in the United States for more than 30 days, regardless of their immigration status.

The information also established that all foreigners, over 14 years of age, will be required to undergo this procedure. It is also established that this process applies to individuals who have not been previously registered or had their fingerprints recorded.

How to register?

To initiate the registration process for foreigners, started since February 25th, it will be necessary, in the first instance, to create an online account within the DHS website.

Subsequently, the required data must be completed. In the case of minors, they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Once the registration is completed, the DHS will issue a registration certificate that must be carried by the applicant for the entire time they remain in the United States.

In the case of minors, the document will be kept by the parents or guardians.

Omitting this step, according to the DHS, can lead to serious penalties such as fines and minor crime charges. Therefore, people are urged to stay informed of any updates regarding the process.

Who is exempt from the process?

According to the DHS and USCIS, there are two groups exempt from this registration:

  • Members of the Kickapoo Tribe of Texas as per the Kickapoo Tribe Law.

  • American Indians born in Canada who entered the United States under section 289 of the INA.

In addition to the above, the agencies also revealed that there are other groups of foreigners who are already registered through previous processes:

  • Foreigners who obtained an employment authorization document.

  • Legal permanent residents or Green Card holders.

  • Foreigners admitted to the United States as nonimmigrants.

  • Foreigners who were issued immigrant or nonimmigrant visas prior to their arrival.

  • Foreigners who were granted parole in the United States.

  • Foreigners in deportation process.

  • Foreigners who have applied for legal permanent residency.
