For eligibility purposes, see 0011.03.24 (Non-Citizens - Lawfully Residing People).

The following documents indicate an immigrant is a Lawful Temporary Resident (LTR):

● An unexpired Temporary Resident Card - form I-688.

● An unexpired Employment Authorization Card - form I-688A. This card is issued to people applying for temporary resident status.

● Receipt for application for temporary resident status - form I-689.

● Correspondence from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) documenting that the person is an LTR. USCIS documentation does not necessarily use the term "Lawful Temporary Resident" (LTR).

- A non-citizen entering as a Special Agricultural Worker under section 210 is an LTR. The class code will be S16 or S26.

- A non-citizen entering under the legalization program under section 245(a) is an LTR.
