The increase annual burden is a result of an increase in respondents. DHS is proposing to revise the Form I-140 instructions to remove ambiguity regarding whether information about the principal beneficiary’s dependent family members should be entered on Form I-140, by revising the word “requests” to “requires” for clarification. Ensuring that the dependent family members’ information is entered in the applicable section of Form I-140 is needed to validate familial relationships claimed in requests for employment authorization for the principals and family members of approved Form I-140 petitions that have been approved for one year or more. This clarification will reduce the potential for delays in the adjudication of these benefits and other future benefit requests. USCIS is also revising the instructions to remove the terms “in duplicate” in the second paragraph under the labor certification section of the instructions because USCIS no longer requires uncertified ETAs to be submitted in duplicate. There is no change in the data being captured on the information collection instrument, and there is no change to the estimated annual burden hours as a result of this revision.
