nonmaterial change for Family reunification Procedures

Family Reunification Package:

Redesign and standardization

Below are listed all of the changes between the current OMB-controlled published form, and the new form. The new form streamlines information collections and overall reduces the burden on applicants by making better use of space, and information, such as; allowing applicants to request for multiple minors in one package rather than one package per minor, and removing duplicate collection fields.

The new form is designed with the applicant in mind, it contains descriptions and explanations for the different collections to ensure that the applicant can provide accurate information the first time they complete the form.

Overall changes:

• Standardized authorization to be a single document, without needing other supporting documents

• Improved form design and usability, increasing respondent space, and providing more space for the applicant to be able to read the form more easily

• Removed duplicate information collections

• Introduced ability to request more than one minor per form rather than requesting a full package per minor
