\ STATES INFORMATION AGENCY
\e of Inspector General
I \m of Conversation
\s for the 9/11 Hijackers Foreign Service Institute 2/5/03
\ Office Date
I I Bert Krieg and Kevin Hrvnkow
Official Inspector
Mr. Krieg stated that the purpose of the interview was to respond to a congressional inquiry
requesting that OIG report on visa issuances to 9/11 hijackers. He added that OIG's response
would not identify specific visa adjudicators.
Mr. Henry Sizer, Grievance Attorney of the American Foreign Service Association,
accompanied! |at the latter's request. j~ [answered the questions for the visa
adjudicators as follows.
1. For the record, please tell me your name, present rank and position.
2. Were you the officer (or consular associate) who issued nonimmigrant visas to (names of
applicants) on (dates) at (name of post)?
| êxamined the computerized consolidated consular database visafilesof Mohamed

Atta who was issued an NTV on May 18, 2000 at Embassy Berlin.)
Yes.
3. Is this a copy of the application?
No, it must be an electronic reproduction because those applications were shredded after one
year according to our standard destruction schedule for storage efficiency. We had very little
storage space at Embassy Berlin.
If no application is available, then why is it not available?
(See above)
4. Did you check the CLASS lookout system for his name, and what were the results?
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED

Yes. There were no "hits," that is, no derogatory information about him.
5. Did you interview this individual prior to issuing the visa?
Definitely not - No.
6. If not, why not?
Berlin's policy of expediting "good risk" TCNs (third country nationals) with a lengthy
residency status and the fact that Atta met that with 5 to 6 years residency and other criteria
meant that we would waive an interview for him. These long-time German residents were
basically treated like German citizens. German citizens are part of the visa waiver program, and
therefore they do not fill out visa applications nor apply for visas.
7. What was the policy at post regarding personal appearance waivers?
In addition to the above, only TCNs with less than 18 months to two years of residency were
interviewed.
8. How were you informed of this policy? In writing? Orally? By whom?
Orally by the other office staff and my supervisor. I don't remember seeing anything in writing.
9. Were you personally given any instructions by your supervisors or superiors about asking
applicants to appear in person for an interview?
I was told that if an applicant's paperwork gave the appearance that he might be an intending
immigrant we would interview that person. Our focus was on stopping intending immigrants.
10. Did a travel agency submit the case?
No travel agencies were used in Germany.
11. If so, what was the policy at post regarding travel agency procedures?
N/A
12. How were you informed of this policy? In writing? Orally? By whom?
N/A
13. Would a personal interview of this applicant have helped you decide his eligibility for a visa,
and why?
No, because he was a long-time resident. Atta met the criterion of being a quasi resident, and
therefore it was reasonable to assume that he would return to Germany.

14. If you interviewed this individual, what details can you recall?
N/A
15. Did he present any documents in support of his application?
He would have had a passport, some form of residency status from the local German police
district in Hamburg where he lived and source of income documents. I do not recall the specific
documents.
16. If so, can you recall any details of the documents that were presented?
No.
17. What specific elements obtained from the interview or the application convinced you that
this applicant was entitled to a visa?
I do not recall the specifics of this case. Looking at it now, Atta was a longtime resident of
Germany, he was not an intending immigrant, and there were no "hits" on CLASS.
18. Did you have sufficient time to conduct the interview or review the application to your
satisfaction? If not, how much time would you have preferred?
No. There was never enough time to interview the more than 25,000 applicants processed
through Embassy Berlin each year. However, time was not the issue in this case. The questions
on the interview form were not always the most useful in eliciting information about whether
someone was a terrorist or not. We only had two officers that conducted interviews at that time
and we could have used more. We needed not only more time but also better visa application
forms with more useful details for the applicants to fill out.
19. If there were sufficient consular officers at post to conduct personal interviews of every visa
applicant, would there have been sufficient interview windows, work space and support
staff?
No. Embassy Berlin covered a vast region of Germany including Hamburg, and we did not have
enough space or resources to handle the long lines that would develop outside. Applying for
visas was a real problem for applicants residing in distant parts of the consular district.
20. What other elements would have helped you make a better decision regarding the applicant's
eligibility for a visa and why?
Maybe better cooperation between the German police and other agencies at post would have
helped. We needed better information. An FSN to investigate TCN visa application claims
would have been useful At the time, I felt I made a good decision.
21. Did your superiors ever discuss the post's NTV refusal rates in general with you?
I I „ . 9/11 Law Enforcement
Yes, Berlin had about a| perusal rate. Sensitive

22. Did your superiors ever counsel you to raise or lower your own refusal rate?
No. No pressure either way.
23. Did you or anyone in the consular section conduct NIV return validation studies? If not, why
not?
Yes, they were done more or less ad-hoc. An FSN would telephone TCN applicants to follow-up
on their return to Germany.
24. How well did you speak and read Arabic?
Not at all. It was not an issue since I spoke and read German.
25. Did the Department train you in this language?
I have no Arabic, but am proficient in German.
26. Do you consider that the training you received in the Department to carry out your visa
adjudication responsibilities was adequate?
Not really. It would be much better if the Department would allow new consular officers go to a
real post somewhere close by, like Mexico, for a week or two to get actual hands-on experience
before going to their first overseas post.
27. If not, what additional training would have enabled you to do a better job?
Consular officers need more practical application training for carrying out visa procedures.
28. What other comments would you like to make at this time regarding this visa case?
I have really lost a lot of sleep over this whole thing,,, j_

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
Event: Review of investigation conducted by the FBI of Atta's suitcases at Boston, MA
Date: February 10, 2004
Special Access Issues: none
Prepared by: Quinn John Tamm, Jr.
Team Number: 1A
On 09/11/2001, Mohammed Atta boarded US Airways Express Flight 5930 at the

Jetport, Portland, ME. Atta check two suitcases, a brand name Travelpro pull-along
suitcase, black in color and a brand name Travel Gear suitcase, green in color.
Investigation determined that the Travel Gear suitcase belonged to Abdul Aziz al Omari.
The Travelpro suitcase had US Airways baggage ticket LAX US 13 8529 and the Travel
Gear suitcase had US Airways baggage ticket LAX US 138530. The tickets were
attached to the suitcases, and recorded electronically in the database of US Airways and
American Airlines. Both suitcases were check through to Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). The suitcases were to be transferred to American Airlines (AA) Flight 11,
departing Logan International Airport (BOS) for LAX. US Airways flight 5930 departed
from the Jetport, Portland, ME at 6:00 am and arrived at Logan International Airport at
7:00 am. AA Flight 11 departed from Logan Airport at 7:45 am. The reference for this
information is FBI report form (FD-302) interview of Diane Gallagher, American
Airlines passenger agent, and the passenger name record for Atta, maintained by
American Airlines (265-A-NY-280350-302-19106).
Prior to departure, AA Flight 11, a Boeing 767 was serviced under the supervision
of Salvatore P. Misuraca. A FBI report of interview is the source for this information
(302-7431). Mr. Misuraca is a ramp service manager for American Airlines at Logan
International Airport. He is responsible for the cleaning, fueling and baggage loading of
American Airlines aircraft. On 09/11/2001 he supervised the cleaning, refueling and
baggage loading of AA Flight 11. AA Flight 11 was an aircraft that arrived from San
Francisco, CA at 6:00 am, and therefore was described as a "turn-around flight." Mr.
Misuraca stated that at 7:30 Donald Bennett, the crew chief for Flight 11 received a call
from a passenger service representative, stating that a passenger had just boarded Flight
11, and the passenger service representative wanted to determine if the passenger's two
suitcases had arrived from US Airways. Mr. Bennett told the passenger service
representative, also known as a gate agent, that the suitcases had arrived, but would not
be put on Flight 11, because the baggage compartment had already been locked for
departure. Mr. Misuraca noted that it was unusual for the passenger service representative
to call the ramp crew, unless the affected passenger has asked about the baggage.
9/11 Law Enforcement Privacy
The suitcases were then given to Philip A. DePasquale, the baggage expediter for
American Airlines at Logan International Airport. There is a FBI report of interview for
Mr. DePasquale (302-46163). Mr. DePasquale placed new tags on the suitcases and
placed them on a baggage belt to be loaded on to AA Flight 181. After the crash of
Flight 11 was reported, Mr. DePasquale examined the two suitcases. He stated that the
tags on the two suitcases had a covert marking that indicated that the suitcases belonged
to a passenger, "that was a security issue." Mr. DePasquale called Howard Crabtree, the
senior ramp supervisor for American Airlines, and told him that what he had determined.
Mr. Crabtree has a FBI report of interview (302-440). Mr. Crabtree examined the luggage
and directed Mr. DePasquale tq open the suitcases.
When the suitcases were opened, Mr. DePasquale and Mr. Crabtree found a
Koran, tapes on flying Boeing aircraft, a large folding knife, a pad with flight planning
data, and an instrument for calculating the weight on an aircraft. Mr. Crabtree contacted
the Massachusetts State Police (MSP). Sergeantf | arrived at the baggage office
and took custody of the two suitcases.
The two suitcases were searched by FBI agents at the offices of Troop "F" of the
MSP at Logan International Airport. The following items of interest were recovered
from Atta's Travelpro suitcase:
Four page letter in Arabic

Electronic flight computer with case
Islamic Finder Prayer Schedule
Simulator Check-ride procedures
Flight planner sheets attached to cardboard
Videotape of flight procedures for a Boeing 747-4000
Videotape of flight procedures for a Boeing 757-200
Plastic device for determining the affect of an aircraft's weight on range
Folding knife
Brand name "First Defense" Cayenne (red pepper) spray
The following items of interest were recovered from al-Omari's Travel gear
suitcase:
Three English grammar books

Arabic to English dictionary
Perfume bottle
Brand name Brylcream anti-dandruff hair dressing
Saudi passport for al-Omari
Hudson United Bank check book for al-Omari
Three photographs
Handkerchief
Twenty dollar bill, US Currency
(302-1306)
It is presently unresolved if the two identified gate agents for American Airlines,
Liset Frometa and Leyvi Nunez, called the ramp personnel servicing Flight 11 and asked
if Atta's suitcases had been placed on to the flight. This could be accomplished with
follow-up interviews of the two gate agents. Additionally, the American Airlines crew
chief, Donald "Donnie" Bennett should be interviewed concerning his conversation with
"passenger service representatives" about Atta's luggage.
There are two issues for the Commission to consider. First, is whether Atta
intended his luggage be discovered and searched? Based on what is reported as having
occurred, this is unlikely. The search of Atta's Travelpro suitcase provided early
information about the nature of the Islamist threat, the probable links to al Qaeda, and the
techniques used in the hijacking of the aircraft. Atta was concerned enough about
whether his luggage had been switched from US Airways Flight 5930 to American
Airlines Flight 11 that he made a last minute request to the gate agent about the suitcases.
It is conclusive, that Atta did not want his suitcase to be discovered and searched.
The second issue is the identification of Atta as a "security issue." The two
suitcases had a covert tag from US Airways to warn that Atta and his luggage were a
security issue. When a last minute inquiry was made, apparently on the behalf of Atta,
about the status of his suitcases, no one at American Airlines thought to search the
luggage. After the terrorist attacks this would become standard procedure. It is unclear
now what was the American Airlines' policy or the Federal Aviation Administration's
policy pre-09/11/2001, for the search of luggage that may pose a threat, or be evidence of
criminal activity.

DATE: 19 September 2001
RE: Mohamed Mohamed Elamir Awad Elsayed ATTA
FBI personnel brought photocopies of various documents belonging to Mohamed

Mohamed Elamir Awad Elsayed ATTA (DPOB 1 September 1968, Kafr El Shikh, Egypt)
to the FDL for consultation. ATTA was allegedly one of the hijackers on AA 11, which was!*
the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center. The following information was
obtained from the document and computer checks.
The photocopies showed Egyptian passport #1617066, issued in Hamburg on 8 May 2000.,
as well as what appeared to be an Egyptian identity document, #M387555. The passport
showed a German "Aufentshaltsbewilligung" (indicating residence) numbered R00352475,
issued in Hamburg on 9 May 2000.
Only a few pages were photocopied. NIIS records indicate that ATTA made several entries
to the United States.
3 June 2000 Entered USA via Newark at OK 52 - Lexington Hotel, New York -
Departed 4 January 2001 via IB 6122
10 January 2001 Entered USA via Miami via AA 69 - 516 W Laurel Rd, Nokomis, FL
Entered USA via Miami, flight unknown - 10001 W Atlantic Blvd, Coral
Springs, FL - Departed 7 July 2001 via AR 117
19 July 2001 Entered USA via Atlanta on 19 July 2001 - 401A Greensward #204 in Del
Ray Beach, FL
NIIS indicates that ATTA travelled using a visa issued in Berlin on 18 May 2000. No other
passengers were connected to ATTA for any of these entries.
A copy of ATTA's visa was obtained from the Texas Service Center along with a copy of
the approved 1-539. This form indicated the 516 W Laurel Road address in Nokomis, FL.
The 1-539 was approved and ATTA was granted M-12 status.

11/01/01 THU 18:H FAII I INS MASSBNA NY E)002
November 1, 2001 13 00 hours
Mary Ellen O'Shea, Supervisory Inspector

Massena, New York 13662;
Tel (315)764-0310 or 764-0677
Buffalo District Office \ received information that possibly a male by the name of
Mohammad Atta, born 03-21^-68, may have applied for entry to the
U.S. at the Massena POE. ;
A private citizen doing an internship with local authorities noticed

the name MOHAMMAD ATTA on list individuals who had
appeared at the Massena Court for traffic violations.
I researched and found that M0HAMMAD ATTA, DOB 03/21/68

was inspected on 11/26/00 at the Massena PQE. He was
accompanied by| | a citizen of
Pakistan. They were both admitted as visitors for pleasure. At this
time MOHAMMAD ATTA wajs issued a citation by the New York
State Police. He appeared at the Massena Town Court on 04/18/01
to pay the fine. \ spoke with FBI Agent in Syracuse. She confirmed she had
knowledge of this. FBI Agent! Istated that the media had

knowledge of all this. j

SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT REPORT
1. The date, time, and location of the incident.

November 1 2001 2130 hrs at Buffalo, NY
2. The name and telephone number of the person making the report.
Winston Barrus, Deputy District Director, Buffalo, NY [ I
3. The location of the INS office with jurisdiction over the personnel involved.
Buffalo, New York

4. A brief description of the incident. The attached memorandum dated 11/01/01 from Sll
Mary Ellen O'Shea advised that a Mohammad ATTA DOB 03/21/68 was inspected at the
Massena, NY POE on 11/26/00. This information came to light yesterday when an intern
working for a pro §e. attorney seeking to file a law suit against the NYS police for
discrimination against North American Indians regarding the issuance of traffic citations
noticed the name Mohammad ATTA on a list of individuals who had appeared in Massena
traffic court. .
Upon receiving this information today Sll O'Shea conducted a search of POE inspections
records. This resulted in an entry being located on a secondary inspection log form I-605
reflecting the admission of Mohammad ATTA and an associate'! Ia
citizen of Pakistan and a Canadian landed immigrant. The nationally code listed for Mr.
ATTA on the I-605 was 80 which represents Canada.
Sll O'Shea contacted the Massena city court to verify th'e-.traffic citation information and a
short time later she received a call from Syracuse FBI ageritl |
I ladvised Sll O'Shea that she was made aware of the
Mohammad ATTA information yesterday and that Sll O'Shea should not conduct any further
investigation. She further advised Sll O'Shea that it was her understanding that the local
news media in Massena was aware of this information.
Buffalo INV contacted the Syracuse FBI who advised that they are attempting to confirm
weather or not a Mohammad ATTA who was inspected at Massena on 11/26/00 was the
same subject involved in the September 11 attacks. The FBI faxed a photo of ATTA to
Massena for viewing by the Judge, NYS trooper and a clerk of the court looking for a positive
ID but this proved inconclusive. The FBI is currently hoping to lift a finger print from the
traffic citation paperwork in hopes of making a conclusive ID. In the meantime they are
conducting surveillance of residences in Cornwall and Alexandria, Ontario obtained from
court records.
It appears ATTA and his associates were referred for secondary inspection on 11/26/00
because ATTA was operating a vehicle with a suspended driver's license. This resulted in
NYS police being called to the POE and the traffic citation being issued. If this subject is the
Mohammad ATTA related to the attacks it would appear he may have presented a false
Canada citizenship card or passport which would explain the nationality code of 80 recorded
on the I-605. Records reflect that both subjects were admitted as B2 visitors.
We will advise immediately when more information becomes available.

5. The identity and current location of any injured or deceased persons(s), including an
assessment of the extent of injuries.
N/A
6. The identity and current location of:
a) INS personnel involved in the incident.
N/A
b) Witnesses (INS and civilian).

N/A
7. Firearms incidents only: The type of firearm(s) used, number of shots fired, and the
current location of all firearms used in the incident.
N/A
8. Other law enforcement organizations notified. Have any of these initiated an investigation?
FBI
9. Actual or expected media interest, including information released to the media.

The media appears to have knowledge of this information. If subject is confirmed to be
terrorist ATTA media reports can be expected.

_ RESIDENTIAL LEASE
This agreement, made this M day otlui^tA. . 2000, between Steve Kona , hereinafter referred to
as the LANDLORD, through its agent and MobamedI At$» and Alshehhi Marwan , hereinafter referred to as the
TENANT, concerning the lease of the following described property: 516 W. Laurel Rd. , Venice, FL 34275 is agreed to
by and shall bind the TENANT, its heirs, estate, or legally appointed representatives. TENANT as herein used shall
include-all persons to whom this property is teased. LANDLORD as herein used shall include the owner(s) of the
premises, its. heirs, assigns or representatives and/or any agent(s) designated by the owner(s).
TERM OF LEASED July 13, 2000 to January 14, 2001. If for any reason LANDLORD cannot deliver possession of the
premises to TENANT by the beginning date, the beginning date may be extended up to 30 days or lease voided at
LANDLORD'S option without LANDLORD being liable for any expenses caused by such delay or termination.
OCCUPANTS: Only the following individuals shall occupy the premises unless written consent of the LANDLORD is
obtained: Mohamed Atta, Alshehhi Marwan,, , . A reasonable number of guests may occupy the premises without
prior written consent if stay is limited to 72 hours.
PRORATED RENT: TENANT agrees to pay the sum of N/A as prorated rent for the period N/A to N/A.
ADVANCE RENT: TENANT agrees to pay the sum of $550.00 as advance rent representing payment for the last month
of lease term or any renewal.
RENT: TENANT agrees to pay the monthly rent amount of $550.00 plus any applicable sales tax as rent on the 13th day
of each month in advance without demand at THE RENTAL COMPANY OF VENICE, INC., 236 Tampa Ave.W.
Venice, FL 34285 Phone number (941) 484-7644. Emergency number (941) 484-7644. Rent must be received by
LANDLORD or its designated agent on or before the due date. A late fee of 5% plus n/a per day thereafter shall be due
as additional rent if TENANT fails to make rent payments on or before the 17th day of each month. Cash payments are
—cepted. If TENANT'S check is dishonored, all future payments must be made by money order or cashier's check;
honored checks will be subject to the greater of 5% of the check amount or a $30.00 charge as additional rent. If
.NDLORD has actual knowledge that there are insufficient funds to cover a check, rent will be considered unpaid,
LANDLORD may serve TENANT with a Three Day Notice and will not be required to deposit the check. Third party
checks are not permitted. Time is of the essence. The imposition of late fees and/or dishonored check charges is not a
substitution or waiver of available Florida law remedies. If rent is not received by the 13th day of each month, LAND-
LORD may serve a Three Day Notice on the next day or any day thereafter as allowed by law. All signatories to this
lease are jointly and severally responsible for the faithful performance of this lease. All payments made shall first be
applied to any outstanding balances of any kind including late charges and/or any other charges due under this lease.
All notices by TENANT to LANDLORD shall be sent to LANDLORD'S address above by certified mail.
PETS: TENANT shall not keep any animal or pet in or around the rental premises without LANDLORD'S prior written
approval and a PET ADDENDUM signed by all parties.
SECURITY DEPOSIT: TENANT agrees to pay LANDLORD the sum of $550.00, as security for faithful performance by
TENANT of all terms, covenants and conditions of this lease. This deposit may be applied by the LANDLORD for any
monies owed by TENANT under the lease or Florida law, physical damages to the premises, costs, and attorney's fees
associated with TENANT'S failure to fulfill the terms of the lease. TENANT cannot dictate that this deposit be used for
any rent due. If TENANT breaches the lease by abandoning, surrendering or being evicted from the rental premises prior
to the lease expiration date (or the expiration of any extension), the deposit will be forfeited as special liquidated damag-
es to cover the costs of reletting the rental premises. TENANT will still be responsible for unpaid rent, physical damages,
future rent due, attorney's fees, costs and any other amounts due under the terms of the tenancy or Florida law. The
security deposit (and advance rent, if applicable) will be held in the following manner: Deposited in a separate non
interest bearing account with Community National Bank Of Sarasota, 270 S. Tamiami Trail, Venice, Fl 34285.
Florida statutory law, 83.49(3) provides:
(3)(a) Upon the vacating of the premises for termination of the lease, the LANDLORD shall have 15 days to return the security
deposit together with interest if otherwise required, or in which to give the TENANT written notice by certified mail to the TENANT
last known mailing address of his intention to impose.a claim on the deposit, and the reason for imposing the claim. The notice shall
-ain a statement in substantially the following form: This is a notice of my intention to impose a claim for damages in the amount
/: upon your security deposit, due to ~=z. It is sent to you as required by s. 83.49(3), Florida Statutes. You are hereby notified
., idt you must object in writing to this deduction from your security deposit within 15 days from the time you receive this notice or I will
be authorized to deduct my claim from your security deposit. Your objection must be sent to (landlord's address). If the LANDLORD
fails to give the required notice within the 15-day period, he forfeits his right to impose a claim upon the security deposit.
(b) Unless the TENANT objects to the imposition of the landlord's claim or the amount thereof within 15 days after receipt of the
landlord's notice of intention to impose a claim, the LANDLORD may then deduct the amount of his claim and shall remit the balance

Chairman
Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims
Committee on the Judiciary

Dear Mr. Chairman:

-x
This is in response to your February 28, 2002, letter requesting information regarding
'published reports about Mohammed Atta's admission to the United States at Miami International
Airport in January 20, 2001.
Please find the responses to your request for information below:
1. A description of Mohammed Atta's admission into the United States through Miami
International Airport on January 10,2001.
Answer: Given the sheer volume of inspections, the amount of time that has passed, and the fact
that the inspection did not result in the initiation of removal proceedings, the Inspectors who
spoke to Mohammed Atta on January 10, 2001, do not remember the specific inspection. The
only record that exists of the inspection are the Inspectors' notes, which are extremely limited
and not comprehensive. A copy of the notes is attached for your review. According to that
record, Mohammed Atta arrived at Miami International Airport via American Airlines flight 69
from Madrid. Upon inspection, Atta presented Egyptian passport number 1617066. The notes
from the primary Inspector indicate that Atta had in his possession a Form 1-20, which is the
form issued to foreign students by schools authorized to accept such students. They also reflect
that Atta had indicated to the Inspector that he had been attending flight school for five or six
months. Current rules permit nonimmigrants with change of status applications pending to
attend school while awaiting adjudication of the application. The INS plans to change these
regulations to prohibit an alien from attending school until after the change of status application
is approved. Also, as part of the overall effort to reduce processing times, we plan to reduce to
less than 30 days the average processing time for applications to change status from visitor to
student.
Page2
In light of the information given to the primary Inspector, and the fact that Atta was carrying an
unexpired B-l/B-2 visa, Atta was referred to secondary inspection to determine admissibility.
The notes from the secondary inspection indicate that a query to the CLAIMS system (INS'
benefits processing database) was made, which confirmed that Atta had previously submitted an
application to change status to M-l. The notes also indicate that no grounds for removal were
found.
While the reasoning behind the ultimate decision to admit Atta under the B-2 classification is not
clear from the record, it is clear that the Inspector made all appropriate queries and encountered
no information indicating that Atta was a terrorist. Upon completion of those queries, Atta was
admitted in visitor's status.
2. Copies of Atta's passport (if you have it) and all supporting documentation that he
submitted to INS Inspections when he arrived at Miami International Airport on
January 10, 2001.
Answer: In light of the vast volume of inspections conducted each day, copies of documents
presented are rarely retained if the INS does not initiate removal proceedings. Atta was
admitted, and therefore such copies were not made. However, as discussed in #1 above,
enclosed is a copy of the record of the Inspectors' notes.
3. An explanation of whether Atta should have been admitted to the United States on
January 10, 2001, along with a description of all grounds on which he may have been
inadmissible on that date.
Answer: An immigration officer has broad discretion to determine the admissibility of aliens
applying for admission to the United States taking into account the documents presented, the
alien's representations, information contained in automated systems, and other factors.
As a general rule, an applicant for admission who is attending flight training full-time is required
to present a student visa, and can be found inadmissible under INA section 212(a)(7)(B)(i)(II) if
the individual is not in possession of an appropriate nonimmigrant visa.
However, admission of a prospective student with a visitor visa is allowed under certain
circumstances. While the regulations do not explicitly address this question, the Inspectors Field
Manual, which contains instructions to field officers, states in part: "For prospective
students...occasionally you may encounter an applicant who, in good faith, presents a B-2 visa
but intends to attend school. Before denying admission, consider all circumstances surrounding
the case, such as the reasons for not getting a student visa abroad, financial ability, and any
possibly fraudulent activity on the part of the alien. If you are satisfied that the alien is otherwise
Page3
bona fide, defer inspection to allow the alien to obtain an 1-20 and any other documentation and
apply for a visa waiver."
Also, B-2 visitors are permitted to engage in a short course of study incident to their primary
visitor for pleasure purpose. While the current regulations do not explicitly address this
question, the INS plans to propose a change to the regulations on this issue. The Inspectors Field
Manual, states in part: "If otherwise admissible, admit....as B-2...an alien coming primarily for
tourism who also incidentally will engage in a short course of study." As stated in #1 above, the
INS is drafting a change to the regulations and will also change the Inspectors Field Manual to
ensure that an alien in this situation will not be admitted to the United States.
The record indicates that, at the time of the January 10 admission, the Inspector was aware that
Atta had applied for a change of status to M-l student. He also was aware that Atta was not at
that time the subject of any lookout or watch list. The full content of the entire interview with
Atta is not known for the reasons discussed in #1 and #2 above. If Atta's inspection presented
issues that needed additional information or further scrutiny that should have caused the
inspector to defer the inspection or deny admission to Atta. But, we cannot know today all of the
information that was then before the Inspector. Therefore, a fair judgment would be that one
cannot determine in hindsight that the Inspector's decision was not the correct one based on the
information available to him at that time. But we do know that the Inspector conducted a
thorough inspection and had no information that Atta was a potential terrorist. Certainly, Atta
would not have been admitted had such intelligence information been available to the Inspector.
4. A copy of the memorandum referred to in the October 28,2001 Washington Post article
is requested.
Answer: Enclosed is a copy of the referenced memorandum.
I trust this information is useful to you. If I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to
call me.
Sincerely,
W. Ziglar

Subject: Immigration & terrorism...more
Unfortunately, much of this article is right on the mark. Unfortunately, what transpired at the time was just part of
the overall ineffective, institutionally mandated lax enforcement focus which is only now beginning to change
slowly, two years after the attacks and billions of dollars later. And, unfortunately, in some instances, much of the
same "leadership" is still in place.
Admitting Terror: 9/11 Revisited

INS officials at Miami International Airport blundered big time when they admitted Mohamed Atta, but you'd never
know it
BY BOB NORMAN
Two years after the attacks on America, the public still doesn't know the truth about terror ringleader Mohamed
Atta's entry into the country.
It was illegal.
Immigration agents shouldn't have admitted the Egyptian national at Miami International Airport on January 10,
2001. Records show he was allowed to enter as a student on an expired tourist visa. The first immigration
inspector at MIA to question Atta recognized these facts and singled him out for further grilling. But after a 30-
minute interview, secondary inspector Robert Wilson gave Atta a big break: He let him through.
The immigration agency, which has been broken into three parts and is now overseen by the Department of
Homeland Security, continues to deny that Atta was improperly admitted. And the Justice Department basically let
the agency off the hook in an investigation last year.
Had inspectors turned away Atta, who piloted the first plane that struck the World Trade Center and was the chief
planner of the attacks, the world might well be profoundly different today. Yet the story hasn't been told in full,
perhaps because it has been obscured by official disavowals and shrouded in the ambiguous complexities of
immigration law. The government is in denial - and that casts a dubious shadow over post-September 11
immigration reforms.
Atta's entry was only one symptom of the immigration authority's lax culture prior to September 11, 2001. Shortly
after the attacks, I wrote a series titled "Admitting Terror" that documented how Immigration and Naturalization
Service officials at MIA consistently broke laws and failed to properly inspect foreign travelers, including other
suspected terrorists. One finding was a 1999 directive issued by assistant INS port director Henry Aponte about
people who overstay their visas, called "7A's" in bureaucratic parlance: "Please stay away from 7A cases!!!!"
Aponte wrote. "Case closed!!" Aponte's exclamatory order contradicted immigration law, which held that overstays
- like Mohamed Atta and fellow September 11 conspirator Marwan al-Shehhi -- lose their visas.
The INS had fallen prey to political pressure that stemmed from huge lobbying campaigns by the airline and travel
industries to facilitate speedy international air travel at the expense of proper enforcement. "Until 9/11 nobody
took immigration security all that seriously," says Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration
Studies in Washington, D.C., a conservative group that pushes for reduced immigration levels. "It was seen more
as an obstacle or irritant than a security tool, and I'm afraid that two years later a lot of political forces that
opposed border enforcement are starting to creep back, Things have changed some, but not nearly enough."
One might think that September 11 would have led to an overhaul of the agency's leadership. Didn't happen.
Take Aponte, for example. The official who ordered his underlings to ignore the law is still in power. How about
Ramon Rosario, the supervisor on the night of Atta's January 2001 entry? He's still a supervisor. Robert Wilson,
the inspector who stamped Atta's visa on January 10, is no longer an inspector, though. Rest easy - he's been
9/15/2003
Page 2 of 3
promoted to supervisor. John Bulger, the port director who oversaw the giant mess, is still in a position of power
at MIA as well; he's the interim Miami district director for the new Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The only one drummed out of the agency, it seems, is whistleblower Jos Touron, a dedicated agent and union
leader who did his best to expose the problems. Touron is appealing his termination, which came after he refused
to escort an INS prisoner at the airport without security measures -- which included handcuffs for the suspect and
back-up officers.
The chief watchdog over the immigration authority is the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General,
which investigated the Atta and al-Shehhi cases last year. Inspector General Glenn Fine, who headed the federal
probe, had a chance to expose the agency's failure, but his efforts - which involved a team of three federal
lawyers, four special agents, and three program analysts - instead only illustrate the OIG's own ineptitude.
More than likely you never heard about Fine's 188-page report, which received superficial media attention when it
was released May 20, 2002. The report detailed how Atta first entered the country on a tourist visa through
Newark International Airport on June 3, 2000, and was authorized to stay in the U.S. until December 2 of that
year. Within two months Atta was enrolled at flight school in Venice, Florida. Though Fine failed to mention it in
his report, that alone constituted a form of immigration fraud - Atta clearly came here as a student rather than a
tourist. The maneuver allowed him to avoid the U.S. State Department's strictures on student visas. "It was an
outrageous fraud," says Steven Camarota, the Center for Immigration Studies' director of research. "When Atta
got his tourist visa, he implicitly promised he wouldn't be a student, but that's exactly what he did."
On September 9, 2000, Atta applied with the immigration authority to change his status from tourist to student. A
few months later, while the government was still processing his application, he finished flight training. On January
4, 2001, a month after his visa expired, he flew from Miami to Madrid. Six days later he tried to re-enter the
country on the expired tourist visa. When questioned by the primary inspector, Atta said he had applied to be a
student. At secondary inspection, Wilson allowed Atta into the country for an additional eight months, until
September 10, 2001, one day before the attack. (Wilson wasn't named in the report; I learned of his identity
through confidential sources at the immigration authority. Immigration spokeswoman Barbara Gonzalez deferred
to the OIG report when asked about Atta.)
Although Fine didn't endorse Wilson's action, neither did he condemn it. First, Fine determined that Atta wasn't an
overstay. He asserted that since Atta had applied for a student visa, he could lawfully stay in the country while
immigration officials processed it. That is true, but as soon as he left the country, Atta abandoned that application,
says veteran immigration attorney Robert Gard, who has written legal articles about the Atta entry at MIA. Thus
the overstay was applicable in Atta's case. "Anytime you overstay, even by one day, your visa is revoked and you
have to apply for a new visa in your home country," Gard says. "And Atta overstayed."
Though Fine, who didn't return calls to New Times, admitted that Atta had abandoned his application, he decided
the tourist visa was still good. Even then, Fine found that Atta shouldn't have been allowed into the country, since
he had conceded that he was entering as a student on a tourist visa.
But Wilson, who told investigators he had no memory of his encounter with Atta, said that he must have thought
the Egyptian was going to be a "part-time" student and that his schooling would be incidental to his pursuit of
"pleasure" in the United States. Rather than dismiss this excuse as silly and insignificant speculation, Fine latched
onto it: "If the inspector believed that Atta was not intending to attend school full-time ... admitting Atta as a
[tourist] would have been appropriate," he wrote.
Gard, a former Chicago chapter president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, says that in his 26
years of practicing immigration law he has never heard that distinction. "I don't buy that a part-time student can
come here under a visitor's visa," he says. "Even if he enrolled in a school for just one course, that's a violation of
a tourist visa."
In the end, Fine lamely ducked the issue. "We were unable to reach any definitive conclusion whether Atta's
admission in January 2001 was improper, given the limited record relating to the admission and the inspector's
inability to remember the specifics of what was said at the time," Fine wrote.
So the Justice Department spared the INS accountability for allowing Atta into the country. Worse, by the time the
information filtered to the public via the Associated Press and television news, that point had somehow changed.
The AP story stated that the report "does not suggest... the agency acted improperly in allowing [Atta] to enter the
country three times."
9/15/2003
Page 3 of 3
Utter nonsense. Though it failed to reach a conclusion, the DIG strongly suggested the agency acted improperly.
But such misinformation isn't surprising when you consider the Justice Department press release that
accompanied the report. To wit: "With regard to Atta's and al-Shehhi's entries into the United States, the DIG
concluded that the evidence does not show that the inspectors who admitted them violated INS policies and
practices."
It's a lovely way to do business. First the OIG finds numerous problems with Atta's entry into the United States,
but refuses to say it was wrong. Then the press release falsely indicates that there were no problems at all.
Not everyone has been fooled. Camarota recently completed a study that showed that 22 of 48 al Qaeda
terrorists who have entered the United States during the past decade did so after violating immigration laws. Atta
is on his list. "The sloppy and lax nature of our immigration system played a central role in what happened on
September 11," Camarota says. "I think most Americans would be outraged if they knew how sloppy that agency
had become."
Immigration experts tend to agree that enforcement is at least slightly better today than it was two years ago.
Though it's already well behind schedule, the agency is implementing a foreign-student tracking system. And
Congress last year repealed a horrendous law that required the immigration authority to process foreign visitors
within 45 minutes of arrival. But the same old dubious district leadership remains in place in South Florida, and
overall funding levels, at six billion dollars a year, are still far too low to be truly effective. With our national
treasury flowing into Iraq, that's not likely to change any time soon.
One mantra repeated by immigration officials is that no one wants to be the inspector who allows in the next
Mohamed Atta. But why not? That person might, like Wilson, get a promotion out of the deal.

admission to date on the 1-94. Also stamped top & bottom
portion of Customs deck / would have written in admission date
\ Believes that the "get'em in and get'em out so they can enjoy
\' policy contributed to the admission
o "-.Primary II - ask standard questions, purpose of visit, how long
fn. U.S., where wilf you be living while in U.S., previous visits to
U.S. Can review APIS screen only
o Secondary Officer can run additional computer checks to verify
status, CIS, NIIS, CLAIMS, STSC, NCIC, etc. Verify 1-20 issue,
legally attending school, change of status or extensions, proper
school.
o Must review WO for school dates. No reason to give ATTA 8-
months
o ATTAs entry withJ3-1/B-2 into U.S. - discretion of Sll in order to

"I Interviewed by SA| | andl Ion December 20,
\1 at Miami International Airport
I [recalled ATTA being referred to Hard Secondary as a possible
overstay on a B-1/B-2 tourist visa.
OIO004-0189
1 Ichecked INS computer records (CIS) and determined ATTA

had filed an application for extension while still in status (B-1/B-2)
| . Jalso learned through computer checks that ATTA had filed for
a chahg^ of status (and not an adjustment of status) from a tourist visa
to a studentvisa
In both cases! ""Iconfirmed that ATTA had paid the appropriate
fees to INS
Based on the above cohditionsi [determined there were no
grounds for ATTA to be removed from the U.S.
INS Inspection Results Report-I btated the following: Subj
applied for M-1. I.S. Adjusted Status. No overstay/ No removal grounds
found

the inspector knows the PAX intends to file an I-20 to become a
student ,

Follow-up interviews conducted on April 16, 2002 by SAJ pad
Miami District Office - Deferred Inspection:
i
• Was interviewed as a witness (no warnings or placed under oath)
* Was shown copy of 1-94 with admission # 68653985708
| has never seen this 1-94 until now
• Upon entry into U.S., INS stamps top & bottom portion of 1-94 and passport
• Top portion remains with INS, bottom portion goes with passenger
• Top portion is sent to service center for data entry
• B-l stamp on 1-94 - There is no B-l stamp being used at deferred inspection.
Dates change according to the persons circumstances - normally write in B-l and
the date
• The B- 1 stamp was probably put on the 1-94 at MIA - All passengers arriving at
MIA on a particular date would have the same date on his/her documents (i.e. Feb
9, 2001 w/B-1 or B-2 stamp). This is easier for processing at MIA with date
stamp.
• If an 1-94 has any changes, including the crossing out of information, the IIs are
authorized to issue a new 1-94 - recommended to avoid any confusion with old
and new entries
• Upon issuing a new 1-94, comments are made on the back stating the reason for
any changes and issuance of new 1-94
• If Atta had come to deferred inspection on May 2, 2001 with a Feb 9, 2001 entry
date, he would have been in overstay status. Investigations would have been
notified and Atta would have been arrested and processed. Don't know if Atta
made any changes to this 1-94 before arriving at deferred inspection.
• Was interviewed as a witness (no warnings or placed under oath)

• Was shown a copy of 1-94 with admission # 68653985708
• Don't recall seeing a B-l stamp with date (Feb 9, 2001)
• Didn't stamp with B-l or date stamp - dates change at deferred inspection -
easier to write classification and date
• Claims this is not the 1-94 she saw back in May 2001
• Atta's 1-94 had a January 10, 2001 entry date with an until date of September
2001 (eight months)
• Don't recall if classification was written in or stamped
• The date on Atta's 1-94 was clearly written and showed an eight month period
• In looking at this 1-94, the date looks like 09 July 01, which is correct if issued a
B-2, which was also written over B-l
O1G004-0178
• Would not have written on old 1-94 - would cause confusion - instead issued Atta
a new 1-94
• Never seen IIs write the date like this one 09 July 01 - Most Us normally write
the month, day, year
• If Atta presented this 1-94 with a date of 09 July 0 1 , she would not have issued
him a new one
• If Atta had come to deferred inspection with a B 1 and date of Feb 9, 2001 , he
would have been an overstay and INS Investigations would also have been
notified
• In regard to Atta' s 1-94, he only wanted to get eight months for his friend. I
issued him a new 1-94 because the 1-94 he presented clearly shows until
September 2001, which was beyond a B-2 status. This 1-94 appears to be
fraudulent | "jused a "loop" to review the 1-94 and concluded that some
of the letters in "ADMITTED" were slanted and not aligned properly and some
letters were not evenly spaced).
• She stapled the old 1-94 to the new 1-94 issued to Atta and placed them in abox,
which was sent to UNTBAND fqr data entry into NITS
• She did not write or stamp any information on the old 1-94
• IIs should issue a new 1-94, instead of crossing out and making corrections

• In looking at the 1-94.1 ""feaid the date appears to be 09 July 01. The middle
portion of the date are not his initials and looks like July.
OIG004-0179
This would be the correct date if Atta entered on January 10, 2001 with a B-2
visa
B-l visas for business purposes, can be issued up to one year with a supervisors
approval - B-ls can also be issued for two weeks or one month depending on the
passengers circumstances
I [did not know why the NIIS report shows a date of September 8, 2001
The top portion of the 1-94 goes to the contractor for data entry, with the bottom
portion going to the passenger
In regard to making changes and comments on the 1-94, there are no comments
made on the Departure portion of the 1-94. However, comments can be made
regarding parolees, asylum applicants, adverse actions, put A# on 1-94 etc.
The top portion of the 1-94 is to filled out if the computer goes down and manual
entries have to be made
In looking at the copy of the I-94J | said he could not tell if the document
was a counterfeit. He needs to see the original. However, the wording on the
admission stamp appear to be spelled correctly
| [docs not recall making any changes / notations on Atta's 1-94. He was
not sure if the handwriting was his. He never seen or heard of any INS directive
about writing over stamps:
In regard to a passport entry,1 the passport would normally be stamped
with the classification and not the date. The INS policy prefers Us to stamp and
not write dates hi the passport.
B-l visas - have seen more than three months issued - if no problems, a GS-07,
08, 11, can authorize without a supervisors approval
B-2 visas - more than six months normally requires a supervisors approval
Depends on superiors and passenger flow in secondary - sometimes a supervisor
wants to see every case and on some days does not "Speed is the name of the
Game"
If the supervisors in secondary are not expediting passengers in a timely manner,
the supervisor must write a memo or cc-mail the Port Director, which in turn
effects the IIs Performance Evaluation Report- mostly internal
The Airlines are also responsible for making sure the 1-94's are filled out
correctly. There are Passenger Processing Representatives who assist the
passengers with filling out the I-94s.
There is nothing INS can do to prevent an alien from crossing out and making
changes to an 1-94. Its not uncommon for aliens to purchase stamps and make
changes
Customs Declaration also shows the intent or classification in which a passenger
is intending to enter the U.S.
No additional information

J
Was issued a Ralkines warning and placed under oath
Was shown a COPY of 1-94 with admission # 68653985708
After reviewing I-94\d the handwriting / date was not his
He doesn't recall placing a B-l stamp in Atta's passport. However, he does own
a B-l date stamp, which he purchased on his own
voluntarily turned his B-l stamp over to the DIG
also made an impression with his B-l stamp on a blank 1-94
He has used his B-l stamp until three months ago
In looking at the 1-94.1 ~|said the date appears to be a 9 or possibly a 7 - the
middle portion looks like a H pr 18, and 01 for the year
| formally writes his dates Êuropean and South American style because
most of the passengers come fromEurope and South America and it's easier for
the passenger's to understand the date - He would write his dates as follows: 09

wrote the following: 09 Jul 2001 _

He was recently issued a new admission stamp with A H
B-l visas for business purposes, can be issued up to one year with a supervisors
approval depending on tune needed and expiration date on the passport
| Isaid he normally issues a B-l for 30 days if passengers have in the past
continuously entered the U.S. back to back on a B-2 six month visa
Iocs not like giving six months on a B-l visa
would issue a B-l visa and tell the person to file for an extension (1-539
process)
If the person needed more than six months on a B-l visa, can also refer to
secondary for further review and supervisor approval, especially if the passenger
is looking to attend some form of training. Most cases involve training for
companies while in the U.S.
Under B-l visas, domestic servants normally request a one-year status. These
passengers are sent to secondary for further review an supervisor approval
| [said his stamps look alike and on several occasions placed the wrong
stamp on the 1-94 - Had to cross out and make handwritten changes to the 1-94
B-2s are issued for up to six months. If more time is needed, normally tell
passenger to file for an extension
OIG004-0181
After filing for an extension, the passenger will receive notice in the mail (1-797)
and a approval letter from INS with the expiration date
I bid not know why the NHS report shows a date of September 8, 2001
If Atta entered on January 10, 2001, a six-month visa would be issued until July
9,2001
The top portion of the 1-94 goes to the contractor at the Nebraska Service Center
for data entry, with the bottom portion going to the passenger
Upon departing the U.S, the passengers turn the bottom portion (Departure
Record) over to the airlines
The airlines in turn hands over the I-94's to INS - INS sends to service center for
data entry into NIIS
In regard to Customs Declarations - Us are only concerned with the form being
filled out correctly, and the signature on the Customs form matches with the
signature on the passport
I baid he does not recall placing a B-l date stamp in Atta's passport or
issuing him a 30 day B-l visa

• Was shown a copy of 1-94 with, admission # 68653985708

i • He doesn't recall owning a B-l stamp. B-l / B-2 stamps are purchased by Us and are not issued
\ y INS \,
U • He normally writes B-l or B-2 with the date
\ If he was filling in for someone, he may use a B-l stamp if available
• He normally does not carry a B-l stamp around with him
• Doesn't recall if his admission stamp # wasL "I
• He was recently issued a new admission stamp with til I
• He can't tell if the handwriting on the stamp is or isn't his
. • He can't tell if he wrote the date. Claims to have a "sloppy" handwriting
• He said its SOP if an Us scratches out or makes any changes to an 1-94, the II has the option to
\e a new 1-94
« Can't tell if the handwriting is his because he write differently at times
• When writing the date, he normally spells out the month, day, and year. He may also write the
\e using numbers, i.e. 09 July 01, and may write the day, month an year
• In looking at the 1-94.1 [said the date appears to be 09 July 01. The middle portion of the
\e are not his initials and looks like July.
• This would be the correct date if Atta entered on January 10, 2001 with a B-2 visa

The top portion of the 1-94 is to filled out if the computer goes down and manual entries have to
be made _____
In looking at the copy of the I-94J fcaid he could not tell if the document was a
counterfeit. He needs to see the original. However, the wording on the admission stamp appear
to be spelled correctly
1 Idoes not recall making any changes / notations on Atta's 1-94. He was not sure if the
handwriting was his. He never seen or heard of any INS directive about -writing over stamps.
In regard to a passport entry,! Ithe passport would normally be stamped with the
classification and not the date. The INS policy prefers Us to stamp and not write dates in the
passport.
B-l visas - have seen more than three months issued - if no problems, a GS-07, 08, 11, can
authorize without a supervisors approval
B-2 visas - more than six months normally requires a supervisors approval
Depends on superiors and passenger flow in secondary - sometimes a supervisor wants to see
every case and on some days does not "Speed is the name of the Game"
If the supervisors in secondary are not expediting passengers in a timely manner, the supervisor
must write a memo or cc-mail the Port Director, which in turn effects the Us Performance
Evaluation Report - mostly internal
The Airlines are also responsible for making sure the 1-94's are filled out correctly. There are
Passenger Processing Representatives who assist the passengers with filling out the I-94s.
There is nothing INS can do to prevent an alien from crossing out and making changes to an I-
94. Its not uncommon for aliens to purchase stamps and make changes
Customs Declaration also shows the intent or classification in which a passenger is intending to
enter the U.S.

Was shown original 1-94 with admission # 68653985708

Doesn't recall the interview, too long ago
Doesn't recall making the entries
Handwriting is sloppy - cannot definitively say the writing is or is not his. Handwriting also
changes from time to time
Writes his dates differently, not consistent
May write date with day, month, year or month, day, year
Date on 1-94 looks like 9 Jul 01 with a B-2 classification - this would be correct for a B-2 visa, 6
months is what is normally issued. If more than 6 months would need supervisory approval
Don't see September 8 date on the 1-94 - know nothing about a September 8 entry
Normally issue one day less than entry date - in this case if Atta was given 8 months, the 1-94
would have reflected a September 9 entry date
After further review of the 1-94, the date looks more like July than 08 in the middle section of the
date, and the first digit looks more like a 9 than a 7
Generally don't give more than 6 months for B-2 visa without supervisory approval
Don't recall telling a supervisor about Atta case, too long ago
Can't say the writing on the 1-94 is mine or not. I would be lying if I said either way.
Don't know who else could have written date on the 1-94

Arrival #1, June 03,2000

The subject arrived on June 03, 2000 at Newark IAP on CZ Flight #052. The subject
was admitted B2 until Dec 02. 2000 and departed out of Miami LAP on Jan 04, 2001
on Iberia Flight #6122. The subject listed his intended address as the Lexington Hotel,
New York City, NY. A review of COMPUTER LINKED APPLICATION
INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CLAIMS) found the subject requested
an extension of stay on Sept 19,2000 and the request was approved on July 17,2001
(Receipt # SRC0027650863). At the time of the subjects' departure on Jan 04,2001
he requested an extension of stay in a timely manner. The subject's address was listed
as 516 W Laurel Rd, Nokomis, FL 34275.

Spain. Upon arrival (17:03 Hours) Mr. Atta was referredIby the primary officer,
Immigration frispectoil [(Stamp ff-'/y \, the referral read as follows:
"Pax turned in a 120AB but has had a response, meanwhile he's attending flight
training school, already-was in school For 5/6 months, please verify."

removed the referral in hard secondary. The referral is listed as follows:
"Subject applied for M-l. IrS. Adjusted status. No overstay/No removal grounds
Ibuud."
It appears that Inspector!! [reviewed CLAIMS and found an extension request for
bis admission of June 03,2000. Mr. Atta application to extend his stay was received by
the service center on September 22, 2000. At the time no action had been taken on the
request by the Texas Service Center (The extension was finally approved on July 17,
2001 and was granted until October 01,2001). After conducting the interview wilh no
grounds of inidmissibility found Mr. Atta was admitted B2 until July 09, 2001.
As for the rwj separate 1-94 arrival records on Jan 10,2001 it is possible the Inspector
1 [stamped the completed 1-94 while Mr. Atta was at his booth arid then he was
referred to hard secondary, the 1-94 could of remained at the inspection booth and was
later collected. Later during the secondary interview another 1-94 arrival record was
complete and collected for entry into the Non Immigrant Information System (NflS).
The subjects' non-immigrant visa would only have been cancelled under Section 222 (g)
if he had not requested an extension of stay.

Re: Interview of Deputy Port Director Annette Bywaters, Immigration & Naturalization Service
Inspections Branch, Miami District Office
On January 24, 2002, at approximately 1:25 p.m., DOJ-OIG Special Agent (SAl I
interviewed Deputy Port Director Annette Bywaters, Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS)
Inspections Branch, Miami District Office. Bywaters was told she was being interviewed as witness in
connection with captioned investigation. The purpose of the interview was to determine how INS
employees processed Mohamed Atta's entries into the United States and how he was able to remain in
the United States. The interview took place at Port Everglades, 1800 EUer Drive, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Bywaters agreed to being interviewed and stated the following:
Since December 2001, Bywaters has been the Acting Port Director at Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida. Bywaters has also been the Deputy Port Director for the Inspections Branch, circa 1999. Prior
to 1999, Bywaters was the Assistant Port Director at Miami International Airport (MIA).
Bywaters was shown a copy of Atta's Application to Extend / Change Nonimmigrant Status (Form I-
539), and asked to define the difference between an 1-539 and Application to Register Permanent
Residence or Adjust Status (Form 1-485). According to Bywaters, an alien who enters the U.S. as a B-l
/ B-2 visitor and wants to become a Legal Permanent Resident must file an 1-485. If an alien enters the
U.S. on a B-l /B-2 visitor visa and wishes to extend their stay in the U.S., he/she must file an 1-539 with
INS Based upon the 1-539 filed by Atta, Bywaters said Atta requested a change from one non-
immigrant status (B-l / B-2) to another non-immigrant status (M-l - Vocational Student or other Non-
Academic Student) and not for an adjustment of status.
As per INS policy and procedures relating to a pending 1-485 application, if an alien departs the U.S. and
fails to notify the INS, then the alien's application is considered abandoned. If the alien contacts INS
prior to departing the U.S., and authorization was granted through the filing of an Application for Travel
Document (Form 1-131), then the alien can reenter the U.S. without any penalty. The filing of an 1-485
application is standard operating procedure throughout INS and each District; however, the handling or
processing of an 1-485 upon return may differ from District to District. In most cases, an alien fails to
notify INS about his/her departure from the U.S. Upon returning to the U.S., the alien frequently claims
he/she is married to a U.S. citizen and was not familiar with the INS policy relating to the 1-485
application. Bywaters said there are two options; send the alien home or send to deferred inspection for
fbrther review. _._
\1
In Atta's case, it appears he did not file an 1-485 application but an 1-539 with INS. The filing of an 1-539
application is also standard operating procedure throughout INS and each District; however, the handling
or processing of the 1-539 upon return to the U.S. may differ from District to District. Bywaters was
unfamiliar with the different processes and recommended the DIG speak with Don Monica, Assistant
District Director for Examinations, Miami District Office. Additionally, the INS field manuals located on
"Inserts" would also have INS policy and procedure^ rf^fjno ta the-, filing of an 1-539 applicatioa

In reviewing Atta's 1-539 undated application, Atta entered the U.S. on June 3, 2000 as a B-l / B-2
visitor, which expired on December 2, 2000. In the "Application Type" section of the 1-539, Atta
checked a change of status from a B-l / B-2 to an M-l status and did not check the extension box. In the
"Processing Information" section of the 1-539 for an extension, Atta wrote September 1, 2001. INS
granted Atta's change of status to M-l in July 2001 with an extension to October 1, 2001.
In reviewing a Computer Linked Application Information System (CLAIMS) printout, By waters said
Atta filed for a change of status on September 22, 2000, however INS approval was not authorized until
July 17, 2001.
An INS Non-Immigrant Information System (NIIS) printout shows Atta was issued a tourist visa on May
18, 2000 in Berlin, Germany. According to Bywaters, most tourist visas are issued for at least one year
and are rarely issued for six months. The NIIS also shows Atta's B-l / B-2 visa expired on December 2,
2000 and yet he departed the U.S from MIA on January 4, 2001. Atta returned to MIA on January 10,
2001. Based upon Atta's departure and entry into the U.S., Bywaters did not know if Atta abandoned
his change of status application and deferred the question to the INS legal counsel for further review.
Tn regard to Atta possibly being in an overstay status as of December 2, 2000, Bywaters also
recommended that the OIG speak with the INS legal counsel. Bywaters said she did not know if Atta's
tourist visa was considered expired with a pending change of status application on file. Bywaters believes
an INS memorandum, 222. G, relates to non-immigrant visas and change of status. In reviewing page two
of the 1-539 form under "penalties," Bywaters said there was no mention of an alien loosing his/her status
if departing the U.S. with a pending change of status application on file with INS.
In addition to Atta departing MIA on January 4, 2001, Bywaters said the 1-94 (Arrival — Departure
Record) would show Atta's departure date. According to Bywaters, the airlines receive the 1-94 from the
passengers with the bottom portion going to INS. The 1-94's are wrapped with the Aircraft / Vessel
Report (1-92) and sent to the INS office in South Dakota for data input by UNIB AND, a contract
company. However, the turn around time varies for the entry of 1-94 information into the NIIS database.
With Atta returning to the U.S. on January 10, 2001(approx. six days later), Bywaters believes the data
was not entered in a timely manner by UNIB AND. If the data was not entered in a timely manner,
Bywaters said the inspectors at MIA would not be privy to the fact that Atta's tourist visa expired on
December 2, 2000, which put Atta possibly in an overstay status. If Alta returned to the U.S. with the
same visa, and had a valid reason for bis overstay (pending application), then INS can allow Atta back
into the U.S. for a fee of $175.00. If Atta returned to the U.S. with a new visa, Bywaters believes Atta
would be eligible to return to the U.S. Bywaters again deferred the question to the INS legal counsel to
determine whether or not Atta was eligible to return to the U. S.
Prior to September 11, 2001, all I-94's were shipped via U.S. Postal Service to the INS office in South
Dakota. After September 11, 2001, all I-94's are sent via Federal Express. Bywaters recommended that
UNIBAND be contacted to determine when Atta's 1-94 was updated after his January 10,2001 entry.
Bywaters reiterated the problem lies with data not being entered into NQS in a timely manner.

Re: Meeting with Deputy Director Carmelo Ortiz, Immigration & Naturalization Service Center, in
Dallas Texas
On February 13, 2002, at approximately 10;00 a.m., DOJ-OIG Special Agent (SAl Imet
with Deputy Director Carmelo Ortiz, Immigration & Naturalization Service Center, in Dallas, Texas. The
meeting took place at the Miami District Naturalization Office, in Miami, Florida/ The purpose of the
meeting was to establish liaison with the Texas Service Center and to obtain any/and all documents
relating to Mohamed Atta. Ortiz agreed to cooperate and assist the OIG.
Ortiz was shown a copy of Atta's Application to Extend / Change Nonimmigrant Status (Form 1-539)
and asked if the Texas Service Center had similar information. Ortiz said the I-539's are handled along
with the I-20's at the Texas Service Center. SAl Itold Ortiz that Atta filed an 1-539 in September
2000, but the 1-539 was not approved until July 2001. In the interim, Atta departed the U.S. from Miami
International Airport (MIA) on January 4, 2001 and returned to MIA on January 10, 2001. According to
Ortiz, the 1-539 is abandoned and Atta was required to fiJe a, new 1-539. Additionally, an original or
approved 1-20 is required in order to reentry the U.S. In Atta's case, he Tvas also required to file a new I-
539 with INS after his reentry on January 10, 2001. Additionally, Atta jhust have an approved M-l visa
before he can attend any school in the U.S. The original 1-20 is forwarded to the applicant after approval,
with one copy going to the school and one copy going with the 1-539./
For further assistance, Ortiz recommended that contact be made with Gary Bradford, Director of
Operations at the Texas Service Center.l I V

Background" ...^xy'l^/ll Law Enforcement Privacy
JKR asked who else interviewed [about the/Atta entry. He said a few months after
9/11 he was interviewedby the DOJ IG, and a i-ep of Torn Ridge; then again by DOJ IG.
(Nov March20,2002-| "tlDOJ IG; April 17.2002-1 I
I tPOJIG. He was never interviewed/by the FBI or CBP.
I I said he was questioned pn requirements for students, adjusting status, what do they
need in terms of documents to come into this country. He said they spoke to everyone -
himself, the officer in secondary fl [ the acting watch commander at the time and
acting port supervisor at the time. His colleagues said they were asked what their role
was. It was| impression they were looking for people to blame by the types of
questions they were asking.
Was trained at FLETC in 2000 for 3 months; brief training in counter-terrorism - a couple
of hours - an expert was brought in who discussed counterterrorism with us; showed
video; learned about different organizations. The training program was more concerned
with immigration policy and laws and not terrorists at that time.

JKR asked if video discussed any types of fraudulent documents passing through borders
and inspector's role? | [said it was geared to information on what kinds of groups there
are. He said they had training on document fraud of-maybe a week long, everything from
passport, visa, birth certificates, any kind of travel documents - can't really learn fraud -
it takes time. He said they were told what to look for regarding false stamps. He said
they would put documents on table and they would have to look it over and determine
which were the good and bad documents. They also had to write down why the
document was bad.
Data Base Training
They also received database training. Each class lasted about a week. The instructors he
had were more focused on how computer worked rather than reading database; at
FLOTEC it's not how much you can learn - it was learn this now, then get rid of it; when
you get to port you will have more exposure to it.

Mock Inspections / \y had mock primary inspection - lasted one day; one scenario
port, land port and airport. , i
Cultural/Behavioral/Language Training i
Didn't get cultural training. They focused on mostly learning naturalization laws,
deportation charges; fire weapon. In terms of behavior training, they were told the
obvious -\ |etc. Since he speaks Spanish, he
just had to take the test and didn't have to stay extra 5 weeks for language training.

More like a slang Spanish.

good training officer - by myself on the line in May/June 2000.

Sensitive
SOP Pre 9/11 Primary Inspections
| Jsaid the chances of catching fraud are rare if you are not used to seeing the
I documents. He would ask purpose of coming to the U.S.; how long you will be here; do
I you have family here; where are you staying; last time you were here; for how long.
Then he would look at documents to the best of his ability -| ~~~~
J This was something he was told to do.
I [said these are standard questions. He asked the questions to determine admissibility;
/ if a person has overstayed last time - find out why; how did you support yourself;
: concern is that they are living or working here illegally.
Bis
Bl was always "time needed." There is a lot of confusion on Bis he said. Many
officers would give 30 days; but the actual law says it is time needed - if someone comes
in for business and needs 2 months, we would give them 2 )A months. He thought this
was national policy. If there was some confusion they would just give them 30 days.
I I said he had pre-made stamps. The Bl was 30,days. If the person needed to stay
/ longer he would write it in.
/9/11 Law Enforcement Sensitive
Time for B2s was 6 months. He doesn't use stamps any more; he writes it down.
When asked if he felt he had discretion to give less time on a B2,| fcaid we were told
not to limit a B2 - even if you think it was an overstay - refer to secondary - it was port
policy.
Processing Time
Jwas toldl h if more than Jthey were upset. When asked if

there were professional repercussions.! I said a big part of your appraisal was based on
processing time - your supervisor would take you aside and tell you are going to slow;
when they do your appraisal they count how many you do in ah hour and note it on your
appraisal. He said they alsp:nbted how many referrals you make to secondary.
We were told to refer whit you think is bad - don't use it as a shot gun - but don't
overwhelm secondary with referrals.
Regarding processing time at Miami depending on what kind of day it was and what time
of year, sometimes the wait in line was 1-2 hours to get through secondary.

JKR asked if he could read Arabic stamps. | [said UAE stamps you can read; Dubai
you can; some of them you cannot. Lebanon you can; Egypt... He couldn't remember if
he could read Saudi Arabian or Pakistani stamps.
I Kvas asked during Jan. 2000 and pripr, if anyone at Miami was available that could
speak Arabic and he said he was not aware of anyone. When asked about continuing
training frorri Forensic Document Lab, he said when it comes to fraud, you learn with
experience. When asked if the port make sure there was someone around who is well
versed in stamps, he said he could always ask one of your colleagues or supervisor.
Treatment of Saudis |

Air); a few Saudis and a few Iranians. JHe stated he had no cultural perception of Saudis

Targeting/Profiling I
JKR asked what unusual characteristics or answers would cause you to refer to
secondary.l i
JKR asked what about funding? I I said what we do withj"
JKR asked if he got Lookout hits prior to January 2001. He said he got hits everyday in
primary. Prior to 9/11 he never saw a hit for a terrorists; all the hits pre 9/11 were
immigration violations; customs lookout - drugs; lookout for DBA or lookout for
historical data.
Since 9/11, he has had terrorist hits. One of them was immigrant visa,
supposedly had connections with ALQ - sent to secondary -person was
admitted I think,
Another time, I questioned and pressured a person of Arab descent to get information;
asked for wallet to see if he had any local identification. Once you have been on the line
for awhile you get a sense of something is not right. His wallet was blank, he fainted in
front of me. I scanned passport and it was a hit for possible involvement with terrorist
organization. Don't know how it was adjudicated
I paid if you can't communicate, you use body language to talk to person; you learn
some languages; you learn a few words, use your hands for 4 months; if you still can't
communicate you could refer to secondary, but if no one in secondary to speak language
doesn't look good. Alitalia can help you with Italian; the only mideast airlines was from
Turkish Airline; most likely airline reps - Arabs arrived on flights from British Airways,
Air France, Lufthansa.

deny because he doesn't have right visa; if student comes in with visa but not 120, you
can parole him for 30 days.

as B2 ) applied for change of status from B2 to student; then beginning of December his
permitted length of stay is up he stays another 2 weeks; finishes flight school, is done

application after overstaying one month; goes away for one week and comes back on Jan.

asked him to redo (-94
DHS
I [said to be honest, not much of a change; on primary, main goal is to process people
and get them in. Especially before 9/11. People think we are in charge but we are not in
charge of airport. The airlines are - they want more passengers to be processed faster.
We are told to process them and get them in. Occasional computers would go down, we
are told on customs to write TD (computer down) - or airlines would complain,
supervisors would get on us.
Now supposedly! {second time is not there; but mentally it is. Not uncommon to
have airline supervisor go to our supervisor and tell them we want them processed -
don't know if Customs will tolerate it - seen it several times - American Airlines will
come to our supervisors and tell him I want 5 more inspectors.
J ^ why would an inspector have discretion on B2s - why would that eliminate some
types of secondary

Sensitive
l~}r if a person says to me I have been here 6 moths for the last 3 years; I want as much
time as you can give me. You could limit the persons and say here is 2 months. Our
charges are 7As and 7Bs - immigrating visas - 6Cs are fraud.
J - are you familiar with National Targeting Center
S yes, have contacted them on several occasions - if their computers are up, they can
x > - if not, we can go to embassy of that country. On weekends, its not always
available - 95$ of the time it is available.
Passenger Analytic Units - folks who work with NIC and do culling of manifests -
- not familiar
- USVISDIT - I think it is going in wrong direction

Technology is fine; I have gotten some hits for fraudulent visas; majority of hits because
wrong finger is used; I have gotten a TIPOFF hits not on USISIT on name check TEXT
system. ' ,. \S - we have beeh having prdblem with passwords logging in.
10 different programs - with 10 different passwords;

EVENT: Interview of Inspector! [(Secondary Inspector for Atta entry)

Miami International Airport
DATE: March 26,2004
Special Access Issues: None
Prepared by: Janice Kephart-Roberts, Joanne M. Accolla
Team Number: 5

14th & Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC
Participants: Non-Commission: | | Customs Inspector, Miami Intl. Airport

Alex Damen, Customs & Border Protection Counsel's Office
Participants: Commission - Janice Kephart-Roberts, counsel

' Joanne M. Accolla, Staff Assistant
Background:
Previously interviewed by DOJ IG and Internal Affairs of Immigration (local internal

affairs at INS from Waterdale) multiple times. Cannot recall if anyone from Tom Ridge's
office interviewed him or CBP; FBI - maybe, wasn't identified - don't know who is who
at the interviews - it was a blur. Said he couldn't tell one person from another -
everyone was wearing suits.
Said he did not really receive continued training. Learned about changes in policy and
law via memos. FDL fraud alerts put on clip board in hard secondary. Didn't know if
there was a binder with FDL alerts to check.
FLETC training - no training in counterterrorism per se- had a generic class as an

overview - did not provide operational help - it was an hour class. Document fraud
Sensitive
training was limited at the academy — about an hour or 2. Database training was limited -
did get some training in TEXT. Mock primary inspections - one class - one for the
border and one for an airport scenario. This was only in primary. No cultural training;
one behavioral class, can't remember what was covered. Language training in Spanish
for one month. Firearms training - everyday for about a week. Was not required to carry
fire arm only during TDF (Terrorism Detection and Fraud)- certain teams go to airplane
because aliens on aircraft. | " \
shuttling people to detention center. Did not have weapon in the line or secondary.
SOP for Normal Primary
Pre 9/11: passenger comes up - swipe passport or visa; how long in US, what are you
intentions, how long did you stay last timej I
I Databases - text check

being done - a regular hit put in by inspectors or from another airport looking for subject
staying for 6 months possible living here illegal or possible drug - referred to secondary.
TEPOFF hits were automatic hard secondary. Had one or 2 pre 9/11. Don't know how
they were adjudicated.
Length of stay for Bis pre 9/11 - generally about 30 days. Had one pre-made stamp that
he used or wrote in by hand. If they asked for. 2 weeks, I would give one month. If they
asked 3 months, it is discretion of officer to give up to 6 months.
Length of stay for B2s pre 9/11 - you can give up to a year; generally 6 months. Gave
beyond 6 months sometimes. This would happen generally in secondary. If you wanted
to give less than 6 months, you have to refer because 6 months is standard B2 admission.
As a primary officer, I have referred to secondary.
Vocational Students - my understanding was 13 months.
Generally would process them as fast as you can move them - general understanding was
the faster the better - with our evaluations there is a time set -1 think! "I for
aliens, not sure. If you want to pass an evaluation you tried to do that.
Pressure to process quickly - everybody felt it - pressure came from headquarters down -
I felt it was national policy. Did not feel there was a port policy about referrals to
\; just needed to make sure referrals were good and not frivolous - counted on
your evaluation. Have to have basis for referral. \"
J Did not receive other than FLETC

formal training on fraud - it was "on the job" training. Have used the Forensic
Document Lab once or twice ore 9/11. Depending on what stamps or countries, felt
comfortable - i.e.| J— you know what numbers are
and how to deal with it.
Not familiar with Saudi or UAE documents - did not see many of them.
Treatment of Saudis and Emirates
View of Saudis pre 9/11, general feeling amongst inspector - wasn't very look that we
had finished Desert Storm - they are just like any other alien — nothing highlighted them
vs. people from other countries. Primary concern about being admissible was - out of
status, altered document, hit, overstay. In secondary, a little bit deeper because you are
conducting interviews and could go the full gambit. No Arabic speakers available on
primary or secondary line - have to call for translators. The airlines did not help with
Arabic.
Targeting/Profiling /
Not concerned if traveling alone on B2 visa; if you have over $10,000 sent to Customs.
People coming in stay with family members so $$ not a concern or removable*..
J So doesn't necessarily raise concerns.
If I can't communicate with someone in primary, try to go with French (we have people
that speak French). Arabic speaker back then the general procedure unless you see
document fraud, you admit them - even if you can't communicate - you can check their
ticket and money. /
I V - treated it as a discretionary request. If they didn't

have proper visa, they were referred to secondary.

Would you have relied on Atta?
I llfhe had paper, I would take paper - but could do both.
JKR would you normally check Claims -
I I- you do any of the above.
JKR - if he has an 120 and presents to you, then that's sufficient and you don't feel need
to check student school system and Claims?
I kit's up to inspector - if he feels it warrants, he can check further; or he can accept
documentation. I don't not recall anything about inspection
"IS" means in status.
JKR - adjusted status -what dlo these 3 things mean.
| |-he adjusted from one status to another by filing from Ml - looks like it was
approved so he was not out of status and no overstay. Would normally check to see if he

7/17/01 current class date. If his application had been pending and not approved, would
the student school system if it is current hold the information about the status?

JRK - about departure date - lag time getting that information
I I- if the 194 W was turned in, if the airline did it properly, if it was inputted.

checked records a n d . . . , . and applied for change of status from tourist to student."

have had I I "... V\R - Lower stamp dated 1716/200.1.. Written on top of Bl is written B

admissipn status in secondary?
I [Change both? You can do that or do entire 194 over again. Don't know if that's my

Hypothetical: you were under impression that Atta had applied for Ml and was in status
and had adjusted status. What was your understanding of pending application if someone
leaves the country with application still pending?
j [^depends on application
JKR to change from tourist to M!
| [--I. think it would still be in status.
JKR - if you knew Atta had overstayed visa for one week and left and came back -
would it have affected your adjudication?
| |-was an extension filed? '9/11 Law Enforcement Privacy
JKR - pending application was filed
| l^you are still in status as far as the overstay goes.
JKR - if you had been able to determine he had finished his schooling even though he
had given 194 to inspector?
I |- if student said that he was finished with school, - the system could have said he
was finished but he is riot- have to go on his word. Working with student system that
was a piece of garbage / nothing factual - arbitrary - claims filed late - it was useless.
Have to use it - but what you get out of it to base adjudication - not good.
JKR - if you had seen in CLAIMS that he had not adjusted status?
I pClaims holds anything you are filing for
JKR - we know he applied for change of status

I t'lfhe left pountry while change of status pending, it would not have changed
adjudication because we have people applying for Fl ? If you come as a student you are
in US for - not my understanding (check tape).
What if he says he is full time student and he has Ml not B2 - does it affect adjudication?
| \- might have adjusted it here -
JKR - in system it has as pending, not adjusted - is it a problem
CD--—
Regular practice to let people in a different rubric than a Ml -
Can you come in and take English classes, yes.
JKR - difference from full time or occasional school
I I- fine line - what is full time
JKR - would you have asked questions about where he is attending school, what type of
school
| K! don't think-so
JKR - if he says where he is attending, look up to see if it is a certified school?
| [^ jf you canfindit. Would ask how long you are attending. Depends on school -
university you .go for semester h6urs. You have guys coming in for one class at aviation
school - depends on school set up - it could be Ml, depending on facts.
JKR if he is attending flight school and he sought to adjust status to attend flight school,
would you think he was going full time? : ;<:;
, . ;;:::-:;:;;:;|?'9/ll Law Enforcement Privacy
I- not necessarily - yes or no. .. , :/
JKR - when indications look like he is,full time -
I k still gray - because yoli have pebple coming from all over the world because it is
cheaper - some come for nightflying,instrument flying, a class - grey area - because
they don't run like college institution.
JKR - is there a fix for grey ar.ea - to make it easier to adjudicate?
1 clarify the law - set .strict limits on B2 - because it is too vague - incidental to a
B2 is wide open - what is definition of "incidental."
JKR - what if you eliminated "incidental" all together?
| [^ don't see how you could.
JKR - law has changed since 9/11 - can't request change of status as student while you
are here - have to go back abroad to do it.
JKR - what helps you in secondary - to have all facts in front of you - to do adjudication
I I- a student system that is accurate - SEVIS is a lot better than what we had -
US VIS IT will take care of overstays in the future - CLAIMS is still not up to date
because of massive amount of petitions.
JKR - what about biometrics - would it help in secondary? Consolidated Visa Data
Base?
| |we love it - its great - it will pick up altered visas. - it's a great tool.
JKR - in, situation where someone comes back in as a student, would you have checked

| |with regard to visas or removal Charges?

I have said before, it is very easy to look after the fact to say they should be removed.
You cannot remove someone.because he was rude, suspicious.
If it was lack of money, I wbuld have thrown out lots of people. So money can't be a
base.
JKR - what do you think overall policy on adjudications? Was there pressure to admit
did you feel it was difficult to go to supervisor not to admit
I
JKR - because INA says the opposite - the burden of proof on alien - but in practice it is
on the inspector and the U.S.
Was there a lot of public pressure for admitting people?
]-yes
JKR - any particular embassies?
I- no — just overall............................................:::::::::

DHS ,""""/ /5f /
Familiar with National Targeting Center v have used it and is helpful
Changes on line since CBP has taken over: USVISIT extremely positive
JKR - has any of the policies or pressures changed since CBP
| |-its improving -facilitation is not prmiary issue as it was in the past; border
security is now primary issue. Happier with the way it is now.
JKR - if someone like Mr. Atta; came before you now, what do you think would be the
adjudication assuming the change in your databases and information available to you
now, i.e. SEVIS and overstay information.
L___f- In today's climate, if anything was; violated, he would be gone. If we have data
systems that work,, the attitude of servic0 less likely to facilitate and give waivers on the
assumption.that everything has been approved.
JKR - would you have considered a deferred or paroled for 30 days to verify his status?
| |- don't know /
JKR - did you use parole very often?;
| \- 1 f you defer, you are deferring inspection - means get your paperwork together. A
parole is a deferral. /
JKR - on statement that Mr.| (wrote "he is attending flight school" - would you
ever try to verify that any other way other than school system - would you pick up
phone?
| |- you could - can't recall I did that for a flight school. Did that once in awhile for
other schools.
If Atta had come up as done with school, would it have affected your adjudication??
As coming in as a b2?
- don't think so
JKR - you find out he lies and has B2 which is legitimate as tourist? Does it raise
questions as why is lying?
I \- if there is inconsistency, it would - hit all the databases you can to get to the
bottom of it. You would interview him - and ask him why did you say this and why did
you say than - and if the answers are inconsistent, then - if you don't have anything
\e on INA - then he is being admitted. Now, if you verified that he lied, he would
be in a world of hurt considering his country of origin- on the legal side - is there
\g to remove him - massive questions.
\R - would it affect your questioning if he had been here 8 months, left for a week and
came back to ask for another 6 months -
\ \- tried to figure out if he has been working in US illegally or living here. If you
\t prove it, you can't bar him.
\R - if you take a sworn statement from him and you can get him for lying under oath?
- no, it's a criminal charge. Misrepresenting a material fact - back in the grey again.
- it's getting better - take a while to work things out the merge with Customs -
technology wise, attitude - here to do job and not for airlines .
Current position is supervisor. Still at Miami International.

Joanne M. Accolla, Staff Assistant
Background: - ;;:":::::: 9/11 Law Enforcement Privacy
JKR asked if| [had been interviewed by anyone else regarding the Atta entry. She said
the FBI interviewed her about 2-3 weeks after 9/11 when the discovered Atta came out
of deferred inspection. The FBI agents were from the NE Miami Beach Office. She was
also interviewed by the DOJ OIG twice.
I fcaid they asked her if she could identify Atta's companions frpm pictures they were
holding. The FBI had pictures from some illegal aliens they were holding in CROM
(facility which holds illegal aliens in Miami area). She did not recognize them. They
asked her to describe Atta - what he looked like and what he was wearing - and if she
was willing to go under hypnosis which she agreed to but it never happened.
She was not interviewed by anyone from CPB or legacy INS. She was interviewed by
her port director, Mr. Garafano, and her supervisor.
On May 2 2001, she was detailed from Miami airport to the District Office located 7880
Biscayne Blvd., 5th Floor. Her supervisor asked her to help in the Deferred Office
because someone called in sick and they needed help.
Her training at FLETC wasfromapproximately! | She didn't

remember if she received counterterrorism training. She said they learned a lot about
document fraud. She didn't recall training on databases. She did remember mock
primary and secondary inspections. She said she did not receive any cultural or
behavioral training. There was language training in Spanish and they had firearms
practice everyday. She carried a gun in Ft. Lauderdale but not in line.
Standard operating procedures used pre 9/11
11
Length of stay for Bis - standard length of stay. If they are here on business for 2, she
would give 3 weeks. She wouldn't use pre-made stamps, just write it in.
B2s
Mandatory 6 months - could not shorten that time - only supervisor could. She had
requested it in Miami a couple of instances, where person appeared to be intending
immigrant because they were here for 6 months, left for 2 days and returned...
Sometimes supervisor would make her change it back to more time.
Vocational students
I gave a year and one month.
II
DS (duration of status) - to give students to study English
Ml
Technical school- always a year and one month.
Janice asked if there was a port policy about referrals and how often it should happen,
't believe there was a port policy.

stamps; most of the time in visas its\
I [didn't know if anyone at the port knew Arabic.
Janice asked if there was someone on duty at the airport who had expertise in documents.
| [said yes.
Janice asked if she had much experience with Saudis or Egyptians, and! [replied
that at Miami you get everything. She said you are basically looking for people who are
staying and working here, criminals . . . I [said she has not gotten any TIPOFF hits
pre or post 9/11; she has gotten L,ookout hits. |
Janice asked if she would be suspicious if someofte is/ / \
money they have with them, but ''she wouldn't count it in primary; she would if she was in
secondary. If she had a problem she would refef to secondary. She said her hands are
tied - supervisor would question why you want to limit stay if the person didn't overstay
last time. If she couldn't understand them because of language problem, she would get
refer to hard secondary where they could.get an interpreter. She would not process them
if she couldn't understand them. If they don't have visa or visa cancelled, refer to
supervisor. ;% i

Deferred Inspection . ; \e asked Barbara how deferred.inspection Worke
through airport and you run the person in the system and they have a record but no
judgment in the database, tie is asked to bring in his Judgment of Conviction records and
inspector can see - if someone has immigrant Ivisas and no pictures, they would be
deferred to bring in pictures. If someone needs more time because they are sick they are
deferred. Considered to be a continued inspection.
Janice asked if an immigration history is created if they get called up in deferred.

I [said each case is different because iii deferred they actually have been admitted.
These people have already been admitted soldatabases were checked at airport.
J - request to CHANGE 194 - |
He was not deferred -he just walked off the: street - sometimes people who are close to 6
months and want more time - told no. ;
ATTA I
Janice stated that on May 2, 20011 Iwas detailed from 8:00 a.m. to the district
office and worked to approximately 3:00 p.m.
I Isaiditwas close to lunch time - about 1 l:30ish. Three guys came in and came
up to the counter. One of the 3 started asking questions about his friend - "both came in
on sarne day and we heed to get some information about his 1-94." I asked him if he was
the one that needs help; he said no -1 told him to sit down and I will help his friends. She
told them the person who needs help should sign in. Atta signed in (the guy who started
the conversation was not Atta). "this person who was a great looking kid - he didn't
look Arabic - Icjqked Caucasian. Atta said my friend and I came in on the same day and I
got .8 months and my friend only got 6 - my friend wants to get 8 months. I believe I
took both passports to see if they had valid visas. I Jsaid even if the visas were
expired, she couldn't dp .anything because they were already admitted.
Janice shQwed|__^_~Jsome photographs to try to identify Atta's 2 companions, but

I Ididn't recognize them. I [said he didn't, have accent, spoke perfect English
(this was the first guy), \d she went to her supervisor and her supervisor told her to go ahead and
change Atta's t6 6 months because he should not have gotten 8 months - only 6 months.
| jmade a notation on the tack of the 194 (1955 was her inspector number). She
said she had to backdate the I94..arid admit him on January 10 until July 9. | "jsaid
every time you change an 194 you have to write comments.
The 194 issued at Miarni by inspector] , f- the 194 issued in error: a new 194 was issued
at Deferred Inspection at the District Office ;n Miami.] jsaid she looked at the
original 194 and saw the stamp number.
She said if you look over admission stamps in the passport, you will not find her
inspector number because he had already been admitted.
said she didn't remember going through his entire passport. She said Atta didn't
say rriuch; he was quiet. She told him someone gave you the wrong admission and I'm
not giying your friend 8 months. When she asked her supervisor "it was wrong can I
change- it." Atta understood everything she said. She told them they could apply for an
: extension with forms downstairs. They said thank you and left.
Jsaid the whole encounter stuck in her mind because after they left she spoke to a
colleague and said that Atta was an ugly man "like a bulldog." She didn't remember
physical characteristics.
Janice if in\this case she looked at databases. | | said no because she didn't have
access to the district office's databases because she was only there for the day.j j
asked the inspector to put the information in the computer for her but he didn't. The top
of the 194 gets sent to Texas.
Janice said to| jthat she had said in a prior interview with DOJ IG that she saw an
194 that looked fraudulent.
)/ll Law Enforcement Privacy
I Laid she never said that. The second time they asked me to identify the 194 ...
"The one. I had - there were no corrections over it - it was just B2 -8 months."
Janice said let me read to you what it said in regard to Atta's 194 [read from
statement].
I jsaid when I gave him the 6 months, there was never an issue of whether he had a
fraudulent 194.
Janice said thai |told the FBIthere were 3 guys. She said yes. All 3 had same
skin tone, same features. The guy who made the initial conversation, about a year ago
the FBI was looking for some one named o'f| |said she called
her boss - apparently the FBI thought he worked with Atta - and he left the country. She
told Mr. Garafano -did not tell FBI - this man apparently was a legal resident, school
teacher in South Florida.
aid the only 194 she changed was Atta's.
began looking over pictures and documents of the other hijackers]
\Janicie\said for the record - the 194 with the] [stamp on it does not look familiar to
I fconfirmed she physically took out the old 194 and put the new one in his
passport..
DHS \e askecl labout what improvements she has/lias not noticed with the new
CBP. She said it was hard to say because immigration legacy INS is still doing
immigration work, and customs is still doing customs work; she doesn't know if it's
going to work - trying to do cross over - so much to learn -
Janice asked id mad trained in customs. She said very little. She said she works
mostly at private side of airport -Executive. She is back at Fort Lauderdale for about a
year and a half ago. She did Miami inspections through. November 2002 and returned to
i Ft. Lauderdale - customs and INS combined. Just an airport.
Jaid USVISIT is very good- get a lot of hits on mismatch.
She said there are not a lot of foreign students going through Ft. Lauderdale so she
doesn't use SEVIS that much.
National Targeting Center - she hasn't used.

Visa info photos - helpful.
Her message for Commissioner Bonner:
What do you have to do to get a supervisor position??
When some one comes through, you have to do customs, immigration and agriculture
inspections.
*********
Phone discussion March 29, 2004 re identification of Shukrijumah with Atta on May 2,
2001.
an immigration inspector normally working at Miami International,

was detailed tor one day on May 2, 2001 at the Miami District Immigration Office. She
completed a deferred immigration inspection of Mohammad Atta on another date.
She states that Atta came in with two companions. One companion did not speak at all
and she does not recall his identity. (She recognized none of the hijackers, although she
thought al Shehhi looked familiar.) The other individual with Atta began the
conversation. After reviewing the fbi website at www.fbi.gov/terrorinto/adnan.htm. this
is what| | .had to say: "I'm 75 percent sure that this is the same guy,
Adnan G. El Shukrjumah.. He was clean cut, my skin complexion, looked Indian, like
me. I don't recall size or amount of facial hair, but dark. He spoke perfect English."
He initiated the conversation. "My friends have a question about their I-94s (arrival
records)." I asked him: "do you need to see immigration?" He said no. I said then go sit
down. He did. I didn't talk to him again.
