TITLE 8—ALIENS AND NATIONALITY
§ 1204
parture for such visit, (2) that the application is
made in good faith, and (3) that the alien’s pro-
posed departure from the United States would
not be contrary to the interests of the United
States, the Attorney General may, in his discre-
tion, issue the permit, which shall be valid for
not more than two years from the date of
issuance and shall not be renewable. The permit
shall be in such form as shall be by regulations
prescribed for the complete identification of the
alien.
(c) Multiple reentries
During the period of validity, such permit may
be used by the alien in making one or more ap-
plications for reentry into the United States.
(d) Presented and surrendered
Upon the return of the alien to the United
States the permit shall be presented to the im-
migration officer at the port of entry, and upon
the expiration of its validity, the permit shall be
surrendered to the Service.
(e) Permit in lieu of visa
A permit issued under this section in the pos-
session of the person to whom issued, shall be
accepted in lieu of any visa which otherwise
would be required from such person under this
chapter. Otherwise a permit issued under this
section shall have no effect under the immigra-
tion laws except to show that the alien to whom
it was issued is returning from a temporary visit
abroad; but nothing in this section shall be con-
strued as making such permit the exclusive
means of establishing that the alien is so re-
turning.
