This form is needed to accompany the
I-539 in order to explain and provide instructions for the V
nonimmigrant classification. This form will be used by
nonimmigrants to apply for an extension of stay, a change to
another nonimmigrant classification, or for obtaining V
nonimmigrant classification.
US Code:
8 USC
1184 Name of Law: Immigration and Nationality Act
There has been a decrease of
213,400 annual burden hours previously reported for this
information collection. It appears that USCIS must have mistakenly
included the number of respondents submitting the additional
evidence requirements associated with Supplement A to the Form
I-539, with the total number of respondents submitting the Form
I-539. The evidence required in Supplement A to the Form I-539
should only be submitted by V-nonimmigrants which is significantly
less. Moreover, as every year passes, the number of V-nonimmigrants
have decreased for this category since most have adjusted to legal
permanent status.
