The information will be used by the USCIS to determine eligibility for work authorization and for the issuance of the employment document.
USCIS is seeking emergency review and approval of this collection of information under 5 CFR 1320.13. Based on USCIS and legacy INS’s past experiences, there is significant concern that unauthorized practitioners of immigration law or unethical attorneys will seek to take advantage of individuals who may be eligible for consideration of deferred action under the new process in the period between the announcement and the implementation of the procedures for accepting requests for consideration of deferred action. The longer the period before the process is implemented, the greater the risk that this fraud will occur and that it will be on a large scale. In order to prevent against a significant outbreak of fraud, the process needs to be implemented quickly. USCIS believes that it is in the public’s best interest to forgo public notice and comment before implementation of these forms.
