The information on Form I-485 will be
used to request and determine eligibility for adjustment of
permanent residence status. Supplement A is used to adjust status
under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(Act).
The revisions to this
information collection include the addition of requesting
information related to the applicant's immigrant category,
clarifying certain eligibility and inadmissibility questions,
updating information on safe and alternate addresses, requesting a
Social Security number and/ or card, requiring that all fields have
a response, and the National Interest Waiver. Minor revisions were
made to Supplements A and J and their instructions. The program
changes to this information collection discussed above resulted in
a total increase in the annual time burden for the information
collections. The I-485 increase in burden hours is related to
program changes and the addition of the Request of Evidence content
and burden associated with discontinued OMB Control Number
1615-0063. The I-485A annual hour burden decreased, which resulted
from burden hour increase due to program changes being more than
offset by the number of respondents filing the I-485A. I-485J
change in annual hour burden resulted from change in the estimated
number of respondents. The addition of the National Interest Waiver
to this information collection added annual burden hours, which
results from the discontinuation of 1615-0063 and transferring the
burden hours to this collection. Finally, Biometrics Processing
annual time burden increased due to the number of respondents
having biometrics processing. The annual cost burden increased due
to an increase in estimated number of I-485 respondents.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
