Privacy Notice
Authority: The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, (8 U.S.C. 1357) authorizes the collection of information
from any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States. Sections 103 and 290
of the INA, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1103 and 1360), and the regulations issued pursuant thereto; and Section 451 of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296), codified at 6 U.S.C. 271 authorize the solicitation of the Social Security
Number (SSN).
Purpose: The purpose of gathering information is to assist the Judiciary Committee and Congress in determining whether
the immigration related private bill is necessary and whether the subject of the bill is worthy of the relief proposed. The SSN
will be used to verify employment, taxes paid, and any other assets attained while in the United States.
Agency Disclosure of Information: The information provided will be disclosed to the Judiciary Committee of either House
of Congress, which requires the information in order to hold hearings on and consider the merits of the immigration related
private bill. The information provided may also be disclosed to other federal agencies with appropriate jurisdiction,
authorities, and need-to-know in order to verify or ascertain information concerning the beneficiary of the private bill.
For United States Citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, or individuals whose records are covered by the Judicial Redress
Act of 2015 (5 U.S.C. § 552a note), your information may be disclosed in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.
§ 552a(b), including pursuant to the routine uses published in DHS/USCIS/ICE/CBP-001 - Alien File, Index, and National File
Tracking System of Records Notice, which can be viewed at www.dhs.gov/privacy.
Providing Information to DHS: Furnishing this information, including the SSN, is voluntary; however, failure to provide it
may result in the non-issuance of the desired immigration related benefit.
Public Reporting Burden. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is collecting this information as a part of its
agency mission under the Department of Homeland Security. The estimated average time to review the instructions, search
existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed and completing and reviewing this collection of information is 60
minutes (1.0 hours) per response. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the
Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, PRA Officer, 801 I Street NW, Washington,
