There is a decrease of 1,838
hours from total annual burden hours previously reported for this
information collection. This decrease can be attributed to the
decrease in the number of respondents based on updated statistical
data for FY 11-13. The decrease was offset by the slight increase
in the number of respondents by 200, to account for the addition of
self-petitioning battered or abused parent of a U.S. citizen son or
daughter under the Non-Iraqi & Non- Afghan Petitioners category
under item 12 of this supporting statement. The time burden was
also increased by one minute to account for the consolidation of
the separate EB-4 Fact Sheet, OMB Control No. 1615-0064 in Form
I-360 instructions. In summary, Form I-360 and its instructions are
being revised to: • Add a new classification in the form and
updating the instructions related to a self-petitioning battered or
abused parent of a US citizen pursuant to the Violence Against
Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (VAWA
2005), Public Law 109-162; • Updating the form and instructions
related to Afghanistan nationals who worked for or on behalf of
ISAF in Afghanistan pursuant to the National Defense Authorization
Act for FY 2015, Public Law 113-291, section 1227; • Clarify
instructions for existing classifications and other clarifying
edits throughout the form instructions; • Reformat for better flow;
• Reorganize the form questions in a more logical manner; • Add a
single check box as a means to provide the Violence Against Women
Act self-petitioners to request employment authorization; •
Incorporate a fact sheet for prospective employment-based fourth
preference (EB-4) petitioners; and • Update the form's
certification statement to conform with standard certification
language.
