Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
There is a decrease of 1,838 hours from total annual burden hours previously reported for this information collection. This decrease can be attributed to the decrease in the number of respondents based on updated statistical data for FY 11-13. The decrease was offset by the slight increase in the number of respondents by 200, to account for the addition of self-petitioning battered or abused parent of a U.S. citizen son or daughter under the Non-Iraqi & Non-Afghan Petitioners category under item 12 of this supporting statement. The time burden was also increased by one minute to account for the consolidation of the separate EB-4 Fact Sheet, OMB Control No. 1615-0064 in Form I-360 instructions. In summary, Form I-360 and its instructions are being revised to: • Add a new classification in the form and updating the instructions related to a self-petitioning battered or abused parent of a US citizen pursuant to the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005), Public Law 109-162; • Updating the form and instructions related to Afghanistan nationals who worked for or on behalf of ISAF in Afghanistan pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2015, Public Law 113-291, section 1227; • Clarify instructions for existing classifications and other clarifying edits throughout the form instructions; • Reformat for better flow; • Reorganize the form questions in a more logical manner; • Add a single check box as a means to provide the Violence Against Women Act self-petitioners to request employment authorization; • Incorporate a fact sheet for prospective employment-based fourth preference (EB-4) petitioners; and • Update the form's certification statement to conform with standard certification language.
