DHS, USCIS has been engaged in an

applicants for obtaining assistance from
paid professionals to assist them in the
completion of information collections
for document preparation, translating
evidence to English, and translating
English form instructions into the
applicant’s native language. We have
published several notices in the Federal
Register requesting comments from
interested and knowledgeable
immigration benefit program
stakeholders and the general public. In
this notice, USCIS is requesting
meaningful input on the following
aspects of this information collection:
• The time burden incurred by
preparers (persons who assist the
respondent with the preparation of the

• For preparers who are paid, the
time and expense to the respondent to
find and secure such preparers for
assistance.
• The amount that paid preparers
charge for their services.
• The time required to obtain
supporting documents for Form I–821.
• The monetary costs incurred to
obtain supporting documents from
sources such as a landlord, church,

services, law enforcement), school,
medical care provider, advocacy group,
law firm, or military service.

evaluate, and compare the performance
of its various training programs over
