The information on Form I-485 will be used to request and determine eligibility for adjustment of permanent residence status. Supplement A is used to adjust status under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act). Supplement E provides evidentiary requirements for T and U applicants to submit to adjust status.
For the form I-485, there is an increase of annual hour burden from 3,069,450 to 3,625,831, a total increase of 556,381, due to an increase of the agency's estimation of the number of respondents for the form. For the I-485A, there is an increase of annual hour burden from 839 to 840, a total of 1 hour, due to a rounding error that occurred at the last submission. For the I-485C, there is an increase in the annual hour burden of 386 hours due to the agency's consolidation of the burden from OMB Control Number 1615-0024, where the I-485C was previously approved for use, into OMB Control Number 1615-0023. Please note that there is a decrease from the total previously reported in 1615-0024 (1,000 hours) due to a revision in the agency's estimate of the number of respondents for this form. There is no change to the estimated annual hour burden for the I-485E Supplement.
