Temporary Resident Under Section 245A of the INA  
Department of Homeland Security  
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services  
Instructions  
Read these instructions carefully to properly complete this form. If you need more space to complete an answer, use a  
separate sheet of paper. Write your name and Alien Registration Number (A-Number), if any, at the top of each sheet of  
paper and indicate the section and number of the item to which the answer refers.  
Admissibility  
What Is the Purpose of This Form?  
Form I-687 was originally used to apply for status as a  
temporary resident under the 1986 Immigration Reform and  
Control Act. While the filing period ended in 1988, Form  
I-687 is now used to apply for benefits under the terms and  
conditions of certain settlement agreements.  
You must be admissible under section 212(a) of the INA in  
order to be eligible for temporary resident status. If you are  
inadmissible under any section of 212(a) of the INA, then you  
may file Form I-690, Application for Waiver of Grounds of  
Inadmissibility, requesting the grounds of inadmissibility be  
waived by the Secretary of Homeland Security.  
Sections 212(a)(6)(A) (entry in the United States without  
inspection) and 212(a)(7) (documentary requirements) of the  
INA do not apply.  
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?  
You are eligible for temporary resident status if:  
The following grounds of inadmissibility may not be waived  
by the Secretary of Homeland Security:  
1. You can establish that you entered the United States before  
January 1, 1982;  
1. Section 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I) - crimes involving moral  
turpitude;  
2. You can establish that you have resided continuously in the  
United States in an unlawful status since such date and  
through the date the application is considered filed under  
the settlement agreements. (If you entered the United States  
as a nonimmigrant before January 1, 1982, you must  
establish that your period of authorized stay as a  
nonimmigrant expired before such date through the passage  
of time or your unlawful status was known to the  
Government as of such date);  
2. Section 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(II) - crimes involving controlled  
substances, except if it relates to a single offense of simple  
possession of 30 grams or less or marijuana;  
3. Section 212(a)(2)(B) - multiple criminal convictions;  
4. Section 212(a)(2)(C) - controlled substance traffickers;  
5. Section 212(a)(3) - security and related grounds;  
6. Section 212(a)(4) - public charge. Except this prohibition  
does not apply if you are or were an aged, blind, or  
disabled individual (as defined in section 1614(a)(1) of the  
Social Security Act). If you demonstrate a history of  
employment in the United States evidencing self-support  
without receipt of public cash assistance, then you will be  
considered admissible.  
3. You can establish that you have been continuously  
physically present in the United States since November 6,  
1986, and through the date the application is considered

parties.  
If you submit letters from landlords, the correspondence must  
include the landlord's present address and the beginning and  
ending dates of your residence. Letters from employers,  
organizations, or churches should be on official stationery and  
include relevant dates, the organization's seal (if any), and the  
signer's name and title.  
Copies  
If these instructions tell you to submit a copy of a particular  
document, you should send a copy. If there are stamps,  
remarks, notations, and etc. on the back of the original  
documents, also provide a copy of the back of the documents.  
It is recommended that affidavits or declarations from third  
parties include the affiant's name, address, and phone number  
to verify the credibility of the affidavit or declaration.  
If you choose to send an original document, you should also  
send a copy and USCIS will return the original to you. If you  
do not provide a copy along with the original, USCIS will  
attach the original document to your application, and it will  
not be returned to you.  
To evaluate the sufficiency of the applicant's proof of  
residence, USCIS will take into account the passage of time  
and attendant difficulties in obtaining corroborative  
documentation of unlawful residence.  
Documents to Establish NWIRP Eligibility  
There are times when USCIS must request an original copy of  
a document. In that case, the original is generally returned  
after it has been reviewed. If you are asked to submit an  
original document, make a copy for yourself and keep it in a  
safe place. For your personal records, we advise you to keep  
copies of the application and all of the documents you submit  
to USCIS.  
Documents that may be submitted to prove eligibility of your  
nonimmigrant status prior to January 1, 1982, and that your  
unlawful status was known to the Government as of such date  
include but are not limited to:  
1. Visitor's visa, student visa, or temporary worker visa;  
2. Social Security records;
