USCIS Has Extended Time for Public Comments on Form I-485 & I-751
The Department of Homeland Security announced in the Federal Register on October 21, 2010 that it will be extending the public comment period to November 22, 2010 on Form I-485: Application to register permanent residence or adjust status and Form I-751: Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. USCIS did not receive any comments during the original information collection period for either form. In particular, they are looking for comments or suggestions relating to the following for each form:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies’ estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
