Short Statement:
There has been a decrease 1,500 in the estimated burden hours previously reported for this information collection. There has been a decrease in the estimated number of respondents from 40,000 (as reported in the previous extension request) to 17,000. The reasons for this drop in number of respondents are as follows: USCIS anticipated an increase in filings of Form I-192 with the promulgation of the U visa rule. Based on an anticipated promulgation date, USCIS reported an estimated increase in filing when extending the form; however, the rule was delayed and finally published in September of 2007. The numbers currently reported in this statement are derived from revenues received from CBP and USCIS filings made in the past two (2) fiscal years. The numbers are also based on the current rate of actual filings for T and U applications received, multiplied by an estimated percentage of how many of these applicants will be required to file Form I-192 during the adjudication of these benefits. USCIS anticipates that 80 percent (%) of the T and U status applicants will be required to complete Form I-192. Because of the revised instructions, USCIS also raised its estimate of how long it will take to complete the form from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Overall, these changes led to a slight decrease in public burden hours in comparison to the burden reported in prior extension requests. Finally, there has been a decrease of $12,535,000 in the annual cost burden. This can be attributed to the reduction in the number of respondents.
