The following process should be used ONLY for determining the non-citizen status of individuals who: • Have received a full order of removal, but who have been released from detention because they cannot be removed to their home country or to any other country, • Provide an Order of Supervision, USCIS Form I-220B, which should include the individual’s alien registration number and a notation concerning exclusion, deportation or removal, or • May have an employment authorization document, USCIS Form I-688B, showing Section 274(a)(12)(c)(18) as the provision of law. Do not apply this process to any individual designated as a Cuban Entrant originally admitted to the U.S. as a refugee, asylee or parolee.
