What Is the Purpose of Form I-407?

Form I-407, Record of Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status, is designed to provide a simple procedure to

record an alien’s abandonment of status as a lawful permanent resident (LPR) of the United States. Use of Form I-407

also ensures that an alien abandoning their LPR status is informed of the right to a hearing before an immigration judge

and that the alien has knowingly, willingly, and affirmatively waived that right.

Who May Use This Form?

Form I-407 is used by lawful permanent resident aliens who are outside the United States or at a Port of Entry who want

to abandon LPR status. Generally, a parent’s abandonment of LPR status can be imputed to any minor children who

return abroad with the parent. If a parent, custodian, or guardian chooses to file a separate Form I-407 on behalf of a

minor child, it will be necessary to show that the parent, custodian, or guardian had custody of the minor child.

Form I-407 is also used by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers and Department of State (DOS) consular

officers to record the facts relating to permanent resident aliens who abandon LPR status during an in-person interview or

by correspondence.
