Changing Regulations
USCIS is making a number of changes to the I-765 information collection as a result of this proposed rule. A series of questions was added to Form I-765 that will allow USCIS to evaluate if applicants filing under the (c)(8) eligibility category meet the proposed rule’s requirement of having lawfully entered the United States through a port of entry. Applicants who did not enter lawfully are provided an opportunity to explain the circumstances of their unlawful entry. Additionally, under the proposed rule, all applicants under the (c)(8) eligibility category will be required to pay the $85 biometric services fee and attend a biometric services appointment. This expands the number of employment authorization eligibility categories required to submit biometrics after filing Form I-765, and increases the respondent population for the biometric processing information collection.
