Abstract: Sections 212(a)(9)(A) and 212(a)(9)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) render an alien inadmissible to the United States unless he or she obtains the consent to reapply (also known as permission to reapply) for admission to the United States. An alien who is inadmissible under these provisions has either been removed (deported, or excluded) from the United States, or illegally reentered after having been removed (deported, or excluded), or illegally reentered after having accrued more than one year of unlawful presence in the United States. The information collection required on an Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal, Form I-212, is necessary for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine whether the applicant is eligible to file the waiver. If the application is approved, the alien will be permitted to apply for admission to the United States, after being granted a visa with the Department of State (DOS) as either an immigrant or a nonimmigrant.

The estimated annual hour burden for this collection of information decreased increased from 8,674 to 9,533 due to an increase decrease in the estimated hour number of respondents for per response for Form I-212 filings submitted to CBP from 82 to 700. The estimated hour burden per response for submitting Form I-212 via e-SAFE to CBP did, however, decreased from 2.33 hours to 1.5 hours, to account for efficiencies created in an electronic filing environment like e-SAFE. The estimated annual cost burden for this collection of information increased due to an increase in the estimated number of respondents submitting Form I-212 to CBP from 82 to 700, and an adjustment to the estimated average cost per respondent.
