Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been an increase of 2,083 burden hours previously reported for this information collection from 4,670 to 6,753. This change can be attributed to the increase in the estimated number of respondents from 2,950 respondents to 3,242 based on updated statistical projection data for FY 2013 and the resulting adjustment in agency estimates. In addition, USCIS has added 30 minutes (0.5 hours) to account for the time burden to acquire passport-style photographs, resulting in an increase in the total estimated time burden from 1 hour 35 minutes for 2 hours and 5 minutes. There is a change to the total public cost burden for this information collection based on an adjustment in agency estimates. The public cost burden for obtaining passport-style photos had not been previously accounted for but it is now being accounted resulting in the adjustment.
