Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to

matches or exceeds the best service
available in the private sector. In order
to work continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, Department of
Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services seeks to
obtain OMB approval of a generic
clearance to collect qualitative feedback
on our service delivery. By qualitative
feedback we mean information that
provides useful insights on perceptions
and opinions but are not statistical
surveys that yield quantitative results
that can be generalized to the
population of study. This collection of
information is necessary to enable the
Agency to garner customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with our
commitment to improving service
delivery. The information collected
from our customers and stakeholders
will help ensure that users have an
effective, efficient, and satisfying
experience with the Agency’s programs.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
