Abstract of Proposed Collection The Adoptive Family Relief Act (Public Law 114–70) amended Section 221(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1201(c), to allow for the waiver or refund of certain immigrant visa fees for a lawfully adopted child, or a child coming to the United States to be adopted by a United States citizen, subject to criteria prescribed by the Secretary of State. Over 350 American families have successfully adopted children from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, since September 25, 2013, they have not been able to bring their adoptive children home to PO 00000 Frm 00120 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33317 the United States because the Democratic Republic of the Congo suspended the issuance of ‘‘exit permits’’ for these children. As the permit suspension drags on, however, American families are repeatedly paying visa renewal and related fees, while also continuing to be separated from their adopted children.

This form collects information to determine the extra fees these families have paid and refund them in accordance with the Adoptive Family Relief Act. Methodology The collection will be hosted on the Department of State Web site to be printed, filled out, and eventually sent to the Consular Section where the adoption case was originally processed.
