AMENDMENTS

1994- Pub. L. 103-416, §219(z)(3), repealed Pub. L. 102-232, §305(j)(1). See 1991 Amendment note below.

Pub. L. 103-416, §104(a), struck out "intends to reside permanently in the United States, except in cases falling within the provisions of section 1435(a) of this title," before "had complied in".

1991- Pub. L. 102-232, §305(j)(2), substituted "district" for "District" before "office of the Service".

Pub. L. 102-232, §305(j)(1), which made a technical correction to Pub. L. 101-649, §407(d)(16)(C), which was unnecessary because the language sought to be corrected was already correct in Pub. L. 101-649 (see 1990 Amendment note below) was repealed by Pub. L. 103-416, §219(z)(3). See Construction of 1994 Amendment note below.
