OKDHS:10-1-34. Special provisions relating to Kickapoo Indians

Issued 4-1-98


     Kickapoo Indians migrating between Mexico and the United States carry Form 1-94, Arrival-Departure Record (Parole Edition). If Form 1-94 carries the statement that the Kickapoo is "paroled pursuant to Section 2i2(d) (5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act" or that the "Kickapoo status is pending clarification of status by Congress" regardless of whether such statements are preprinted or handwritten and regardless of a specific mention of the "treaty", they meet the "citizenship and alienage" requirement because they are in the United States "under color of law". All Kickapoo Indians paroled in the United States must renew their paroled status each year at Any local Immigration Office. There are other Kickapoos who have entered the United States from Mexico who carry Form 1-151 or Form 1-551, Alien Registration Receipt Cards. These individuals have the same status as other individuals who have been issued Form 1-151 or Form 1-551 and therefore, meet the "citizenship and alienage" requirement. Still other Kickapoos are classified as Mexican Nationals by the INS. They carry Form 1-94, Arrival-Departure Record, which has been issued as a visiting visa and does not make mention of the treaty. Such a form does not meet the "citizenship and alienage" requirement but provides only the non-immigrant status described in 340:10-15-4(3).
