A U.S. prospective adoptive parent may file Form I-600A in advance of the Form I-600 filing and USCIS will make a determination regarding the prospective adoptive parent’s eligibility to file Form I-600A and their suitability and eligibility to properly parent an orphan. USCIS has exclusive jurisdiction over Form I-600A adjudications and collects evidence, such as a USCIS-compliant home study, civil documents regarding birth and marriage (if any), as well as identity documentation for each prospective adoptive parent and adult member of the household. A Form I-600A/I-600 Supplement 2, Consent to Disclose Information, is an optional form that a U.S. citizen prospective/adoptive parent may file to authorize USCIS to disclose case-related information that would otherwise be protected under the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, to adoption service providers or other individuals. Form I-600A/I-600 Supplement 3 is a form that prospective/adoptive parents must use if they need to request action such as an extended or updated suitability determination based upon a significant change in their circumstances or change in the number or characteristics of the children they intend to adopt, a change in their intended country of adoption, or a request for a duplicate notice of their approved Form I-600A suitability determination.

USCIS created a new Form I-600A/I-600 Supplement 3, Request for Action on Approved Form I-600A/I-600, for this information collection, and revised Forms I-600, and I-600A. USCIS is reporting an increase in the total estimated hour burden to respondents for this information collection. The program change is the result of the new Form I-600A/I-600 Supplement 3, which has an estimated burden per response of 1 hour. Multiplied by the estimated 1,286 respondents for this instrument, the estimated total time burden is 1,286 hours. The burden estimate per response for the other instruments included in this information collection did not change. USCIS is reporting an increase in the estimated annual cost burden to respondents for this collection of information due to an adjustment in the estimated cost per respondent.
