    Every nonimmigrant alien who applies for admission to, or an 
extension of stay in, the United States, shall establish that he or she 
is admissible to the United States, or that any ground of 
inadmissibility has been waived under section 212(d)(3) of the Act. Upon 
application for admission, the alien shall present a valid passport and 
valid visa unless either or both documents have been waived. However, an 
alien applying for extension of stay shall present a passport only if 
requested to do so by the Service. The passport of an alien applying for 
admission shall be valid for a minimum of six months from the expiration 
date of the contemplated period of stay, unless otherwise provided in 
this chapter, and the alien shall agree to abide by the terms and 
conditions of his or her admission. The passport of an alien applying 
for extension of stay shall be valid at the time of application for 
extension, unless otherwise provided in this chapter, and the alien 
shall agree to maintain the validity of his or her passport and to abide 
by all the terms and conditions of his extension. The alien shall also 
agree to depart the United States at the expiration of his or her 
authorized period of admission or extension, or upon abandonment of his 
or her authorized nonimmigrant status. At the time a nonimmigrant alien 
applies for admission or extension of stay he or she shall post a bond 
on Form I-352 in the sum of not less than $500, to insure the 
maintenance of his or her nonimmigrant status and departure from the 
United States, if required to do so by the director, immigration judge 
or Board of Immigration Appeals.
