To date, through the filing of this
form a U.S. citizen may facilitate the entry of his/her spouse or
fiance(e) into the United States so that a marriage may be
concluded within 90 days of entry between the U.S. citizen and the
beneficiary of the petition. This form must be used to cover the
provisions of section 1103 of the Legal Immigration Family Equity
Act of 2000 which allows the spouse or child of a U.S. citizen to
enter the U.S. as a nonimmigrant. The I-129F is the only existing
form which collects the requisite information so that an
adjudicator can make the appropriate decisions.
There is a 46,487 increase in
the time burden last reported for this information collection. This
increase is due to an increase in the estimated number of
respondents for Form I-129F.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
