This information furnished on Form
I-192 will be used by CBP and USCIS to determine if the applicant
is eligible to enter the United States temporarily under the
provisions of section 212(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the INA.
US Code:
8 USC
1182 Name of Law: Immigration and Nationality Act
There has been a decrease 1,500
in the estimated burden hours previously reported for this
information collection. There has been a decrease in the estimated
number of respondents from 40,000 (as reported in the previous
extension request) to 17,000. The reasons for this drop in number
of respondents are as follows: USCIS anticipated an increase in
filings of Form I-192 with the promulgation of the U visa rule.
Based on an anticipated promulgation date, USCIS reported an
estimated increase in filing when extending the form; however, the
rule was delayed and finally published in September of 2007. The
numbers currently reported in this statement are derived from
revenues received from CBP and USCIS filings made in the past two
(2) fiscal years. The numbers are also based on the current rate of
actual filings for T and U applications received, multiplied by an
estimated percentage of how many of these applicants will be
required to file Form I-192 during the adjudication of these
benefits. USCIS anticipates that 80 percent (%) of the T and U
status applicants will be required to complete Form I-192. Because
of the revised instructions, USCIS also raised its estimate of how
long it will take to complete the form from 15 minutes to 30
minutes. Overall, these changes led to a slight decrease in public
burden hours in comparison to the burden reported in prior
extension requests. Finally, there has been a decrease of
$12,535,000 in the annual cost burden. This can be attributed to
the reduction in the number of respondents.
