The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has submitted a request for public comments regarding the revision of an information collection process associated with the Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant (Form I-360). This notice provides an additional 30 days, until January 21, 2025, for the public to comment on the estimated burden of the required information and associated response times. USCIS uses this information to assess eligibility for certain immigration benefits, and the data may also be used to provide employment authorization for specific groups. The total estimated annual burden in hours for this collection is 127,230 hours, with a cost burden of $7,820,533.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to change some forms that help people who want to live in the country, like special immigrants or those who lost their partners. They're asking people to share their thoughts on these changes to make sure they understand how much effort and money it will take to fill out the forms.
