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).
USCIS made minor edits to Form I-485 and its Instructions as a result of the Affidavit of Support Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The full scope of changes is identified in the Tables of Changes submitted with this information collection request. The proposed edits did not result in any changes to the estimated hour or cost burdens to respondents.
The NPRM did not change the estimated respondent population, hour burden, or cost burden. The estimates used in the NPRM were correct at the time the document was drafted. However, USCIS submitted and OMB concluded on other IC actions between when the NPRM was drafted and when this NPRM ICR is being submitted to OMB for conclusion. The estimates entered in ROCIS in association with the NPRM ICR reflect the estimates published in the NPRM, therefore ROCIS indicates adjustments that are not technically the result of the NPRM.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
