Section 814(c) of the Violence Against
Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (VAWA
2005) amended the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to provide
eligibility for employment authorization to certain abused spouses
of nonimmigrants admitted under INA section 101(a)(15)(A),
(E)(iii), (G), or (H). This provision is codified in INA section
106. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will use
Form I-765V, Application for Employment Authorization for Abused
Nonimmigrant Spouse, to collect the information that is necessary
to determine if the applicant is eligible for an initial EAD or
renewal EAD as a qualifying abused nonimmigrant spouse.

There is an increase in the
total annual time burden due to an increase in the estimated number
of respondents. The total number of respondents for Biometric
Processing increased due to new program requirements. The time
burden estimate for biometric processing also increased due to
including the travel time to the appointments. The revised
estimated cost burden is due to an agency revised assessment of
out-of-pocket costs.
