Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated annual time burden (in hours) increased due to an increase in the agency estimated number of respondents more than offsetting the estimated net burden decrease across all instruments (I-485, Supplement A, and Supplement J). If the estimated respondent population remained unchanged, USCIS estimates a savings of 1.2 million hours. With this Revision action, there was an increase in the total estimated annual out-of-pocket cost burden. This result stems from no change in costs due to a change in the Agency Estimate and an increase in costs due to Program Change.
