Effective April 11, 2025, foreign nationals that remain in the US for 30 days or longer are subject to the new registration mandate and must comply with the requirements via online form G-325R.

Note: the following foreign nationals in the United States are already registered. If you fall into any of these categories, no action is necessary at this time (this applies to the vast majority of our clients):

• Lawful permanent residents with an I-551 card (i.e., green card)
• Citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) participating countries granted ESTA travel authorization
• Aliens admitted to the U.S. as nonimmigrants who were issued a form I-94 or I-94W (paper or electronic), even if the period of admission has expired[1]
• All aliens present in the U.S. who were issued immigrant or nonimmigrant visa “stamps” before their last date of arrival
• Aliens issued an employment authorization document (EAD card) [The EAD card shows the “I-766” as the USCIS form number when it is issued.]
• Aliens issued border crossing cards (BCC) [This includes the BCC issued to Mexicans with the I-186 designation, and the BCC for Canadian citizens and British subjects residing in Canada with the I-185 designation.]

While most individuals fall under one of the aforementioned categories, if you do not, please complete the online form G-325R here: https://www.uscis.gov/g-325r

[1] Canadian visitors who entered the United States at land ports of entry and do not have an I-94 record must register at this time.
