practical utility;

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

(4) Affected public who will be asked

abstract: Primary: Business or other forprofit. USCIS uses the data collected on

requests to extend or change
nonimmigrant status. An employer (or

to petition USCIS for an alien to
temporarily enter as a nonimmigrant.
An employer (or agent, where
applicable) also uses this form to

standardizing requests for
nonimmigrant workers, and ensuring
that basic information required for
