Third, a border crossing card issued on Form I-185 is available to Canadian citizens or British subjects residing<br />
in Canada. Such cards are commonly issued for the purpose of documenting approval of a waiver of<br />
inadmissibility. Like the I-586, the I-185 may be presented for admission at any port-of-entry.<br />
A fourth type of border crossing card is actually a passport stamp, similar to a visa. It is issued by the<br />
Department of State pursuant to 22 CFR 41.33 to Landed Immigrants of Canada. This type of border crossing<br />
card may be used solely for entry to the U.S. from Canada or from Mexico after a visit only to Mexico. The<br />
border crossing card stamp may be used even if the passport in which it was stamped has expired.<br />
[Refer to visa requirements for Mexican and Canadian citizens and Canadian landed immigrants in Chapter<br />
15.3 and 8 CFR 212.1.]<br />
(b) Admission Procedures. When a border crossing card is used for an admission requiring Form I-94, enter the<br />
card number in the remarks block on the back of the I-94.<br />
(c) Card Issuance Procedures. Border Crossing Card issuance procedures are discussed in Chapter 21.5.<br />
15.10 Entry of Nonimmigrant Workers during Labor Disputes.<br />
(a) General. There are specific regulations governing the admission of nonimmigrant alien workers entering<br />
during strikes and lockouts involving their employers. In general, an alien who has not yet entered the U.S.<br />
under an approved I-129 petition or who has not yet entered as a D, E, or TN, is inadmissible once the Secretary<br />
of Labor has certified to the Attorney General that a strike is in progress. An alien who has already commenced<br />
employment may participate in a strike (if not engaging in unlawful conduct) without jeopardizing his or her<br />
status [Specific regulations governing admission of nonimmigrants during strikes are contained in relevant<br />
subsections of 8 CFR 214.2].<br />
(b) Labor Disputes Involving NAFTA Nonimmigrants. Article 1603(2) of NAFTA establishes a safeguard for<br />
the domestic labor force in each NAFTA country. This provision permits each party to NAFTA to refuse issuance<br />
of an immigration document to a NAFTA business person whose temporary entry may affect adversely the<br />
settlement of any labor dispute in progress at the place or intended place of employment, or if temporary entry<br />
would affect adversely the employment of any person involved in such dispute. This provision may also be<br />
invoked with respect to a NAFTA business person seeking entry as a treaty trader, treaty investor, intracompany<br />
transferee, or professional, whose activities in the U.S. require an employment authorization. If a petition has<br />
already been approved, but the alien has not yet entered the U.S., or has entered the U.S. but not yet started<br />
employment, the approval of the petition may be revoked [See §214(j) of the Act, and 8 CFR 214.2(e), (l), and<br />
214.6].<br />
Only if the Secretary of Labor certifies to or otherwise informs the Commissioner that a strike or other labor<br />
dispute involving a work stoppage of workers is in progress can adverse action (admission in a NAFTA<br />
category or approval of a petition) under this provision be initiated.
