    The district director having jurisdiction over the intended place of 

residence of an alien may accept a public charge bond prior to the 

issuance of an immigrant visa to the alien upon receipt of a request 

directly from a United States consular officer or upon presentation by 

an interested person of a notification from the consular officer 

requiring such a bond. Upon acceptance of such a bond, the district 

director shall notify the U.S. consular officer who requested the bond, 

giving the date and place of acceptance and the amount of the bond. The 

district director having jurisdiction over the place where the 

examination for admission is being conducted or the special inquiry 

officer to whom the case is referred may exercise the authority 

contained in section 213 of the Act. All bonds and agreements covering 

cash deposits given as a condition of admission of an alien under 

section 213 of the Act shall be executed on Form I-352 and shall be in 

the sum of not less than $1,000. The officer accepting such deposit 

shall give his receipt therefor on Form I-305. For procedures relating 

to bond riders, acceptable sureties, cancellation or breaching of bonds,
