Abstract: To carry out the goals of IMMVI, DHS is proposing this new data collection to offer noncitizen current and former military members and their families an opportunity to seek assistance from DHS. The purpose of this information collection is to achieve efficiencies in making contact with individuals, better understand their needs, and track and report the number and types of inquiries received. This information will assist DHS in improving access to immigration services and VA health benefits. DHS plans to collect relevant information to provide assistance at the point the individual submits this information on the new website for benefits and immigration assistance. The information collected through this public facing webform will be voluntarily provided by the users.

Emergency Justfication: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking and Emergency Approval for the Immigrant Military Members and Veterans Initiative (IMMVI) Veteran’s Webform. The Webform will assist DHS in facilitating the return of non-citizen current and former members of the United States Military and their families who have unjustly been removed from the United States. These individuals are commonly known as “deported veterans”. The veteran population that this project would serve is a portion of the public that can accurately be viewed as at particularly high risk for many health and social welfare issues.
