Form I-590	USCIS no longer requiring refugees to apply for adjustment of status removing form I-643.	The proposed changes to the Form I-590 Registration for Classification as a Refugee in this public announcement do not affect the Form I-643 Health and Human Services Statistical Data for Refugee/Asylee Adjusting Status.
Form I-590	USCIS should re-think the new form I-590 which will only bring problems and contribute nothing to the U.S. economy except refugee problems and public unrest.	USCIS maintains the Form I-590 for adjudication of refugee applications in accordance with the Refugee Act of 1980. The Form does not have an economic burden on refugee applicants, as applicants are not charged any filing fees and are assisted in filling out the form by Resettlement Support Centers abroad. The Form I-590 and adjudication process addresses any potential inadmissibilities and national security concerns that may be present in an application, which may be grounds for denial of the application.
