functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

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

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated,

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension, Without Change, of 

a Currently Approved Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Petition for Qualifying Family Member 

of a U–1 Nonimmigrant. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: I–929; USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households. Section 245(m) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) 

allows certain qualifying family 

members who have never held U 

nonimmigrant status to seek lawful 

permanent residence or apply for 

immigrant visas. Before such family 

members may apply for adjustment of 

status or seek immigrant visas, the U– 

1 nonimmigrant who has been granted 

adjustment of status must file an 

immigrant petition on behalf of the 

qualifying family member using Form I– 

929. Form I–929 is necessary for USCIS 

to make a determination that the 

eligibility requirements and conditions 

are met regarding the qualifying family 

member. 

(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–929 is 2,000 and the 

estimated hour burden per response is 

1 hour. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total estimated annual 

hour burden associated with this 

collection is 2,000 hours.
