the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–129; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Business or other forprofit. USCIS uses the data collected on
this form to determine eligibility for the

requests to extend or change
nonimmigrant status. An employer (or
agent, where applicable) uses this form
to petition USCIS for an alien to
temporarily enter as a nonimmigrant.
An employer (or agent, where
applicable) also uses this form to
request an extension of stay or change
of status on behalf of the alien worker.
The form serves the purpose of
standardizing requests for
nonimmigrant workers, and ensuring
that basic information required for
assessing eligibility is provided by the
petitioner while requesting that
beneficiaries be classified under certain
nonimmigrant employment categories. It
also assists USCIS in compiling
information required by Congress
annually to assess effectiveness and
utilization of certain nonimmigrant
classifications.

Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension, Without Change, of
a Currently Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Registration for Classification as a
Refugee.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: Form I–590;
USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. The Form I–590 is the
primary document in all refugee case
files and becomes part of the applicant’s
A-file. It is the application form by
which a person seeks refugee
classification and resettlement in the
United States. It documents an
applicant’s legal testimony (under oath)
as to his or her identity and claim to
refugee status, as well as other pertinent
information including marital status,
number of children, military service,
organizational memberships, and
violations of law. In addition to being
the application form submitted by a
person seeking refugee classification,
Form I–590 is used to document that an
applicant was interviewed by United
States Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) and record the
decision by the USCIS Officer to
approve or deny the applicant for
classification as a refugee. Regardless of
age, each person included in the case
must have his or her own Form I–590.
Refugees applying to CBP for admission
must have a stamped I–590 in their
travel packet in order to gain admission
as a refugee. They do not have refugee
status until they are admitted by CBP.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection I–590 is 50,000 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
