Abstract:
This information collection is necessary to allow practitioner enter a limited appearance for document assistance before the Board of Immigration Appeals or the Immigration Court, to assist a pro se noncitizen respondent in proceedings before EOIR with a legal filing or other document. Pursuant to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Professional Conduct for Practitioners—Rules and Procedures, and Representation and Appearances, 85 FR 61640 (Sept. 30, 2020), the agency indicated that it intended to revise several currently approved information collections to allow for the entry of a limited appearance. However, after further consideration, the agency has determined that a separate stand-alone form for the entry of a limited appearance before each adjudicatory component would be the most appropriate method for the collection of this information. The separate forms EOIR–60 and EOIR–61 are intended to provide greater clarity to the practitioners using the forms, the pro se respondents engaging with the practitioners in a limited capacity, and for the EOIR staff processing the forms.
