only approved for two years due to non-compliance with the
Government Paperwork Elimination Act. In the interim years between
approvals, USCIS will work on allowing for electronic signatures
and submission and will report back to OMB on ways it has worked to
further streamline the collection and minimize the data fields
requested. Previous terms of clearance continue to apply.
