This document is a “Notice to Report,” Form I-385. The U.S. government gives this form to some people who cross the Mexico-United States border. Typically, the form tells you to report to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office within 60 days.
Please note that the Notice to Report is NOT a Notice to Appear in immigration court. If you have not yet received a Notice to Appear in immigration court, you may be able to apply for asylum with USCIS instead. Learn more about the decision to apply for asylum here.
