# What is Form 220b, Order of Supervision? - Link: https://www.lumlawgroup.com/what-is-a-form-220b-order-of-supervision/ - Published: 2025-01-28T09:24:02-08:00 - Author: Albert J Lum ## What is Form 220b, Order of Supervision? ![](https://www.lumlawgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/220b.webp) Form 220b, known as the "Order of Supervision," outlines clear instructions for individuals on when, how, and how often they must report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This form is issued to non-citizens who have been released from detention, granted release from custody, or deemed low-risk and therefore not detained under the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP). It serves as a structured guide for maintaining compliance with ICE requirements. **What is Form 220b? Understanding the Order of Supervision** Form 220b, also known as the **Order of Supervision**, outlines the rules and conditions individuals must follow when released from **Immigration and Customs Enforcement( ICE)** custody. This document is typically issued to individuals who are not detained under the **Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP)**, such as those deemed low-risk or who cannot be deported immediately due to specific circumstances. Being “under an Order of Supervision” is similar to being on parole. It means the individual has been charged with an **immigration violation**, such as **unlawful presence**, and must follow the conditions set by ICE to remain compliant. The Order of Supervision serves as a conditional release, allowing the individual to live in the community under strict monitoring since deportation or detention isn’t possible at the time. ### Key Features of Form 220b: What You Need to Know #### **General Conditions of Supervision** The first page of Form 220b lists the basic requirements that individuals under an Order of Supervision must follow. These include: * Appearing at ICE check-ins as requested. * Participating in medical or psychological evaluations, if required. * Providing information about nationality, associations, and other relevant matters under oath. * Reporting any changes in address, employment, or personal circumstances within 48 hours. * Avoiding travel outside a set geographic area without ICE approval. * Assisting USCIS in obtaining travel documents and cooperating with deportation efforts. #### **Identification and Check-In Log** The second page of the Order of Supervision features: * A photo of the individual. * Their fingerprint. * A log for recording ICE check-ins, including dates, times, and officers involved. This page must be presented at every ICE appointment. Losing it can complicate the process, so it’s critical to keep it secure. #### **Additional Conditions** The third page may include specific conditions, such as: * Avoiding contact with criminals or gang members. * Enrolling in substance abuse or counseling programs with proof of participation. * Registering as a sex offender, if required. * Avoiding any criminal activity. * Cooperation with ICE to obtain travel documents and attending embassy or consulate interviews. * Participating in supervised release programs or adhering to medical treatment outlined by ICE. ### What Happens if You Violate the Order of Supervision? Failing to comply with the conditions of Form 220b can result in serious consequences. Violations may lead to the case being transferred to ICE’s **Detention and Removal Operations (DRO)** program. Once in the DRO program: * ICE will issue a violation notice and require a mandatory appearance. * If the individual fails to report, the case escalates to ICE’s fugitive unit. * The individual may be classified as a “fugitive,” triggering immediate efforts to locate and detain them. ### Why Is Form 220b Important? The **Order of Supervision** is both a privilege and a responsibility. It allows individuals to stay in the U.S. temporarily while complying with specific rules. Adhering to these conditions is essential to avoid being detained or classified as a fugitive. ### FAQs About Form 220b   1. **Who receives Form 220b?** 2. ** Individuals who are released from ICE custody but cannot be deported immediately due to logistical or legal reasons.** 3.   4.   5. **What are the conditions of an Order of Supervision?** 6. ** Conditions include regular check-ins with ICE, reporting changes in circumstances, cooperating with deportation efforts, and avoiding illegal activity.** 7.   8.   9. **What happens if I don’t comply with the Order of Supervision?** 10. ** Non-compliance may result in detention, violation notices, or being classified as a fugitive.** 11.   12. ### Final Thoughts on Form 220b 13.

I have been reporting to the Home office since 2011 and my last physical was 1/ 13/2021. After this last reporting I was ordered to report online. Last year I reported but I was not given a date to report online. 13. Yesterday I went to the reporting station to get the email and the station was moved to another location 473 Jafferson BLVD Warwick, Rhode Island. At the main entrance door was posted to report at [ATDPRO@ice.dhs.gov](https://www.lumlawgroup.com/what-is-a-form-220b-order-of-supervision/ATDPRO@ice.dhs.gov). 14.
