    Abstract: Nonimmigrant alien information will be used to determine

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 
1,970 respondents will provide information for this information

with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 133.96 or 134 hours, which is equal to 1,970 (# of
