Abstract: The data collected on this form is used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine eligibility for the requested immigration benefit of citizenship. The form serves the purpose of standardizing requests for the benefit, and will ensure that the basic information required to assess eligibility is provided by the applicants. USCIS removing from the "Note" section a requirement indicating that a passport must be issued per the current instruction; there is no requirement for this and eliminating this will eliminate any confusion on the part of the respondent.
