USCIS is adding an online filing option for certain I-765 eligibility categories. USCIS is estimating that about half of the respondent population eligible to file online will select this option instead of filing on paper. This estimate will be adjusted in future PRA actions as data about online filing receipts becomes available. USCIS estimates that online filing will take slightly less time than filing on paper. The initial estimated time burden per response for an online filing (4 hours) is 30 minutes less than for a paper filing (4.5 hours).
