Question 64

The Correct Answer is B **Why option B ("Any nonresident alien crewmembers") is correct:** The Crewman's Landing Permit (Form I-95, or its electronic equivalent) is specifically required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for any crewmember who is a **nonresident alien** upon arrival in the U.S. This permit serves as the immigration document allowing the crewmember to disembark and remain temporarily in the U.S. while the vessel is in port. U.S. citizens and U.S. lawful permanent residents do not require this specific permit. **Why the other options are incorrect:** * **A) Only unlicensed crewmembers:** This is incorrect because the requirement is based on immigration status (nonresident alien) and nationality, not the crewmember's professional license status (licensed officers who are nonresident aliens must also possess the permit). * **C) All crewmembers:** This is incorrect because U.S. citizens and U.S. lawful permanent residents serving as crewmembers do not require the Crewman's Landing Permit (Form I-95). * **D) All alien crewmembers:** This is incorrect because it fails to exclude those aliens who are U.S. lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders). Lawful permanent residents are considered resident aliens and do not require the nonimmigrant Crewman's Landing Permit. The critical distinction is that the permit is for *nonresident* aliens.
