The information on the application will be used by USCIS in considering eligibility for adjustment of status under 8 CFR part 209, 8 CFR 210.5, 245.1 and 245a.3.

Name of Law: Immigration and Nationality Act
There is a decrease in the estimated public cost burden associated with this information collection, resulting from a lower agency estimate on adjustments of status filings and therefore, adjusting the estimated out-of-pocket costs that respondents may incur to obtain medical examinations.
There has been a decrease of 115,610 hours in the total estimated annual burden hours previously reported for this information collection, from 1,550,610 to 1,435,000. This decrease can be attributed to the decrease in the number of respondents from 620,244 respondents to 574,000. The decrease in the number of respondents is based on the five year average of the number of respondents for the I-485 received by USCIS, for which an I-693 is required for adjustment of status.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
