The comments submitted to USCIS via

1320.12(c). All submissions will be 

posted, without change, to the Federal 

eRulemaking Portal at http://

www.regulations.gov, and will include 

any personal information you provide. 

Therefore, submitting this information 

makes it public. You may wish to 

consider limiting the amount of 

personal information that you provide 

in any voluntary submission you make 

to DHS. DHS may withhold information 

provided in comments from public 

viewing that it determines may impact 

the privacy of an individual or is 

offensive. For additional information, 

please read the Privacy Act notice that 

is available via the link in the footer of

Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

should address one or more of the 

following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

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) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

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 to Classify Orphan as an 

Immediate Relative; Application for 

Advance Processing of an Orphan 

Petition; Supplement 1, Listing of an 

Adult Member of the Household; 

Supplement 2, Consent to Disclose 

Information. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: I–600; I– 

600A; I–600/I–600A Supplement 1; I– 

600/I–600A Supplement 2; USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households. A U.S. adoptive parent may 

file a petition to classify an orphan as 

an immediate relative through Form I– 

600 under section 101(b)(1)(F) of the 

INA. A U.S. prospective adoptive parent 

may file Form I–600A in advance of the 

Form I–600 filing and USCIS will 

determine the prospective adoptive 

parent’s eligibility to file Form I–600A 

and their suitability and eligibility to 

properly parent an orphan. A U.S. 

adoptive parent may file a petition to 

classify an orphan as an immediate 

relative through Form I–600 under 

section 101(b)(1)(F) of the INA. If a U.S. 

prospective/adoptive parent has an 

adult member of his or her household, 

as defined at 8 CFR 204.301, the 

prospective/adoptive parent must 

include the Supplement 1 when filing 

both Form I–600A and Form I–600. The 

U.S. prospective/adoptive parent files 

Supplement 2 to authorize USCIS to 

disclose case-related information to 

adoption service providers that would 

otherwise be protected under the 

Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a. Authorized 

disclosures will assist USCIS in the 

adjudication of Forms I–600A and I– 

600. 

(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 Form I–600 is 1,200 and the

proposed CCAA. We seek public 

comment on the CCAA, dCatEx form, 

and EOS application.
