proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and

Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension, Without Change, of
a Currently Approved Collection.

NATO Dependent Employment
Authorization or Change/Adjustment
To/From A, G, or NATO Status.

the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–566; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or

used by Department of State (DOS) to
certify to USCIS eligibility of
dependents of A or G principals
requesting employment authorization,
as well as for NATO/Headquarters,
Supreme Allied Commander
Transformation (NATO/HQ SACT) to
certify to USCIS similar eligibility for
dependents of NATO principals. DOS
also uses this form to certify to USCIS
that certain A, G or NATO
nonimmigrants may change their status
to another nonimmigrant status. USCIS,
on the other hand, uses data on this
form in the adjudication of change or
adjustment of status applications from
aliens in A, G, or NATO classifications
and following any such adjudication
informs DOS of the results by use of this
form. The information provided on this
form continues to ensure effective
interagency communication among the
three governmental departments—the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), DOS, and the Department of
Defense (DOD)—as well as with NATO/
HQ SACT. These departments and
organizations utilize this form to
facilitate the uniform collection and
review of information necessary to
determine an alien’s eligibility for the
requested immigration benefit. This
form also ensures that the information
collected is communicated among DHS,
DOS, DOD, and NATO/HQ SACT
regarding each other’s findings or
actions.
(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–566 is 5,800 and the
