Short Statement:
USCIS updated Form I-290B and its Instructions to clarify language and make updates to standard instructions provided across USCIS Forms. USCIS added a Date of Birth field to Form I-290B; individuals filing the form must now provide this information. Additionally, the option for certain filers to provide a Safe or Alternate Mailing Address has been added to the form. USCIS is reporting an increase in the estimated annual time burden to respondents for this collection of information due to an increase in the estimated respondent population. The average time burden per response did not change. USCIS is reporting an increase in the estimated annual cost to respondents for this collection of information. USCIS has increased its estimate of the out-of-pocket costs respondents may incur when filing this collection of information. Additionally, the estimated number of respondents increased. These two changes resulted in the adjustment of the estimated annual cost.
