The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), part of the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking public comments on its information collection process for the Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status. The comment period is open until February 16, 2021, and is intended to get feedback on the necessity, accuracy, and impact of the information collection. The USCIS will submit the collection request for an extension, without changes, to the Office of Management and Budget for approval. Interested individuals can submit their comments online, considering the estimated time and cost the collection imposes on respondents.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government wants people to tell them what they think about a form used by folks from other countries who want to stay in the U.S. a bit longer. They will use this feedback to make sure the form is easy to understand and not too costly or hard to fill in.
