A 1940 law, the Alien Registration Act, requires all foreign nationals age 14 and older who will be in the U.S. for 30 days or more to register and be fingerprinted. Adults must always carry proof of registration, and noncompliance may result in fines, imprisonment, or removal proceedings. Although historically unenforced, the Trump administration began enforcing it on April 11, 2025, through a new online process using Form G-325R. Those required to register include many noncitizens not previously documented, such as Canadians without Form I-94, undocumented immigrants, and children turning 14. Registration does not confer legal status and may expose individuals to legal risk, so consultation with an immigration attorney is advised. Certain groups, like lawful permanent residents and visa holders already registered, are exempt. Registration is completed online, followed by a biometrics appointment, and results in a digital proof of registration.

President Trump's #immigration plans include directing the U.S. military to the southern border, reinstating #RemainInMexico and trying to end birthright citizenship, none of which will make America safer. Read more from @AILANational leadership: https://bit.ly/3PKGpTG

A Notice to Appear (NTA), also known as Form I-862, is a document made by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) when they think someone can be kicked out of or not allowed into the United States. Once DHS gives this form to an immigration court, the court has power over the case, and the process to decide if the person should leave the country starts. At the end, an immigration judge will say if the person has to go or if they can stay.  This flyer provides an introduction to the form.

Form I-693 is a required medical exam and vaccination record for U.S. green card applicants to ensure they are not inadmissible due to health issues. Only USCIS-approved civil surgeons can complete it, which includes tests for diseases, mental/physical disorders, drug addiction, and required vaccinations. The form must be submitted in a sealed envelope and is valid indefinitely if signed on or after November 1, 2023. Immigrant visa applicants outside the U.S. follow a different process. Starting December 2024, it must be submitted with the green card application, or USCIS may reject it.
