Abstract:
Sections 212(a)(9)(A) and 212(a)(9)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) render an alien inadmissible to the United States unless he or she obtains the consent to reapply (also known as permission to reapply) for admission to the United States. An alien who is inadmissible under these provisions has either been removed (deported, or excluded) from the United States, or illegally reentered after having been removed (deported, or excluded), or illegally reentered after having accrued more than one year of unlawful presence in the United States. The information collection required on an Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal, Form I-212, is necessary for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine whether the applicant is eligible to file the waiver. If the application is approved, the alien will be permitted to apply for admission to the United States, after being granted a visa with the Department of State (DOS) as either an immigrant or a nonimmigrant.

Short Statement:
There has been an increase (117 annual burden hours) in the annual burden hours previously reported for this information collection. USCIS previously reported 10,320burden hours and it is now reporting 10,437 burden hours. This change can be attributed to a change in the USCIS's estimate for the number of respondents by 100 additional respondents (previously estimated 10,320 respondents while it is now estimates 5,160 respondents). In addition, USCIS is reporting the estimated time burden associated with the collection of biometrics from approximately 100 respondents of the total 5,160 I-212 respondents' population.
