This petition permits victims of certain qualifying criminal activity and their immediate family members to apply for temporary nonimmigrant classification. This nonimmigrant classification provides temporary immigration benefits, potentially leading to permanent resident status, to certain victims of criminal activity who: suffered substantial mental or physical abuse as a result of having been a victim of criminal activity; have information regarding the criminal activity; and assist government officials in investigating and prosecuting such criminal activity.

There has been increase in the annual burden hours previously reported for form I-918 and Supplement B. This change was due to an increase in the number of respondents for form I-918 from 12,000 to 16,768. There has been, however, a decrease in the annual burden previously reported for Supplement A, as the number of respondents has decreased from a previously reported 20,000 to a 10,033 being now reported. USCIS previously reported a cumulative figure for the total burden hours, equating to 108,000. However, the current request includes a breakdown of the burden hours per instrument, totaling to 119,833 burden hours. The time per response varies depending on the instrument. The table inserted in the response to Question 12 of this supporting statement contains the total burden hour breakdown per instrument. Moreover, USCIS discloses its estimated number of respondents for biometric services and indicates that it estimates .167 hours (10 minutes) per biometric collection.
