USCIS Seeks Comments on Continuing Focus Group Feedback Collection
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
USCIS plans to continue collecting qualitative feedback through focus groups without changing the current process. The feedback is meant to help the agency understand how individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and other stakeholders experience USCIS services and where service delivery can improve. The notice does not create a new legal duty for businesses or individuals. It opens a 60-day public comment period, ending July 10, 2026, on whether this feedback collection is useful, how burdensome it is, and how USCIS could reduce the time or effort required. USCIS estimates 25,000 respondents each year, with an average response time of 1.5 hours.
