🔍 Key Concepts

• Alien crewmember with a D-1 permit: what U.S. agency controls entry, stay, and departure of non‑citizens? • Difference between immigration, customs, and local law enforcement roles in a U.S. port • Reporting requirements in 46 CFR and related federal procedures when a crewmember deserts or fails to return

💭 Think About

• Which agency is responsible for visa/entry status of foreign crewmembers, as opposed to control of cargo or collection of duties? • If a foreign crewmember effectively "jumps ship," which authority needs to know first so the person’s legal status in the U.S. can be addressed? • Think about which agency has the primary jurisdiction over alien crew immigration violations, and which ones might be notified later as a secondary step.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice handles immigration and non‑citizen status in the U.S., not cargo or taxation. • Separate the roles: who deals mainly with vessel inspections and safety (like OCMI), who deals with criminal law (local police), and who deals with immigration control. • Ask yourself: if the exam says "the first report you make," which option represents the primary federal authority for an alien crewmember over‑staying or absconding?
