Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been a decrease of 23 annual burden hours previously reported for Form I-687, and the decrease can be attributed to a reduction in the number of respondents filing Form I-687 from 50 to 30. Since the filing period closed for the NWIRP class action lawsuit on February 2, 2010, the number of respondents filing this application has been reduced. However, USCIS expects that 30 foreign CSS/Newman applicants will file Form I-687s this year. In addition, USCIS has included biometrics processing burden estimates, which resulted in the addition of 35 total annual burden hours due to adjustment in agency estimates. As a non-substantive change to the Form I-687 instructions, USCIS is adding clarifying language regarding the possible collection of biometric information to verify the petitioner's identity and update background information during an interview or other appearances at a USCIS office. This biometric information collection and the associated burden have been approved under the Secondary Inspection Tool (OMB Control No. 1615-0125).
