    The Department of State has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of a revised information collection, known as the Special Immigrant Visa Biodata Form (DS-0234). This form is used by Iraqi and Afghan applicants seeking special immigrant visas. The department is inviting public comments on this proposed collection by February 18, 2021. The aim is to evaluate the necessity and accuracy of the information collection and to improve its quality while minimizing the burden on respondents.

    The Department of State is seeking public comments on the submission of the Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) to the Office of Management and Budget for approval. This form is part of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and helps certain family members of U.S. residents apply for refugee resettlement. The AOR is used to prove family ties and requires DNA testing to verify relationships, with costs covered by the government. The collection aims to ensure proper functioning and minimize the burden on respondents, and public comments will be accepted until January 15, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government wants people to help decide how a form that helps families live together as refugees should be used, and they want ideas on making the process easier and fairer. They're also trying to figure out who pays for certain DNA tests that show family ties and if their way of handling the forms needs to be simpler.
