NAFTA Handbook Available

The NAFTA Handbook is provided by Headquarters Inspections as reference material to assist immigration inspectors in processing applicants for admission under NAFTA. Sources of information in this manual include: Chapter 16 of NAFTA; pertinent sections of 8 CFR, Operating Instructions, Inspectors Field Manual, Interim Decisions, and Case Law Summaries; NAFTA Interim and Final Rule; implementation wires; and pertinent memoranda.

The manual is available in PDF format (217 pages; 514 KB) at:

 www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/services/NAFTA/naftahan.pdf. 

A hard copy (241 pages) can be purchased from the American Immigration Lawyer's Association Publications Division for a nominal fee plus P&H. Call 1-800-982-2839 or visit http://www.ailapubs.org/insinnafhan.html. (The page-count difference appears to be due to a slight difference in format. The hard copy from AILA was derived from the actual hard copy handed out to the field.)
