Record Of Abandonment Of Lawful Permanent Resident Status {I-407}

I-407 - RECORD OF ABANDONMENT OF LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS. This form is designed to provide a simple procedure to record an individual’s abandonment of status as a lawful permanent resident (LPR) of the United States. Use of Form I-407 also ensures that the individual abandoning LPR status is informed of the right to a hearing before an immigration judge and that the individual has knowingly, willingly, and affirmatively waived that right. This form is used by lawful permanent residents who are outside the United States or at a port of entry who want to abandon their LPR status. Form I-407 may also be used by individuals who were admitted into the United States as nonimmigrants or paroled into the United States after abandoning a prior LPR status, and who now want to record that prior abandonment of LPR status. Generally, if a parent abandons LPR status, any minor children in that parent’s custody will also have abandoned their LPR status. If a parent, custodial parent, or legal guardian chooses to file a separate Form I-407 on behalf of a minor child, the parent, custodial parent, or legal guardian must submit evidence to establish the parental relationship to the minor child, custody of the minor child, or guardianship of the minor. Form I-407 is also used by U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials and U.S. Department of State (DOS) consular officers to record the facts relating to individuals who abandon LPR status during an in-person interview or bycorrespondence. www.FormsWorkflow.com
