DHS Corrects Deadline for Comments on How USCIS Can Reduce
Barriers/Burdens in Regulations and Policies
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a correction to
its notice seeking comments from the public on how U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) can reduce administrative and
other barriers and burdens within its regulations and policies,
including those that prevent foreign citizens from easily obtaining
access to immigration services and benefits. The notice had said
comments were due April 19, 2021, but the correction says comments
are due May 19, 2021.
DHS said the effort "will help DHS identify process
improvements for USCIS, with benefits for state, local, and tribal
governments, for businesses (including small businesses and
startups), for educational institutions of all kinds, for
nonprofits, and for individuals."
