How to read and find the CFR

BigJoe5

Registered Users (C)
Most regulations dealing immigration and naturalization are in 8 CFR, EOIR (IJ's and BIA) are also mainly in 8 CFR, State of Department regs are found in 22 CFR, DOS also has the Foreign Affairs Manual or FAM (9 FAM is visas, 7 FAM 1300 is passports), newer CBP regs are in 19 CFR, ICE also has a place in 19 CFR but has not written any yet--instead they fall back on 8 CFR and 28 CFR (DOJ of which INS was a part).

How do you find the specific citation among the regs? The attached is a brief (one page) explanation of the structure of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

The CFR and Federal Register are publications of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and easily found at: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&tpl=/index.tpl
