Which of the following is NOT a listed requirement for F.E.B Outbound?

• A. Last practical detention point
• B. Reasonable certainty that there will be border nexus
• C. Reasonable certainty of no material change
• D. Extending the first practical detention point

Answer: (D)

Outbound decisions rely on three guardrails: identifying the last practical detention point so the action has a clear capstone before departure; having reasonable certainty that there will be a border nexus, so crossing the border is credible; and having reasonable certainty of no material change, meaning nothing will alter the situation before outbound. Extending the first practical detention point is not a listed requirement, because the process is about ensuring the pathway and timing are justified and stable, not about lengthening detention. The other criteria ensure the outbound plan is grounded, predictable, and resistant to unexpected changes.
