Short Statement: The annual burden hours that were reported during the last submission to OMB have decreased. There has been a better estimation of the number of first time respondents and there is also now a shift for more respondents to be submitting renewal forms. USCIS continues to consider the time burden and costs described above under questions 12 and 13. After receiving more public input and experience in administering the program USCIS will provide a more detailed accounting of the total burden of this information collection in its next information collection request.
