This Request for Public Input is not soliciting comments on areas outside the Departments responsibility, including the functions, roles and responsibilities vested in the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Labor, or Department of Justice, though the Department is interested in learning whether there are areas of overlap between any of the policies of these agencies and the Department of State that create such barriers, inefficiencies, or that impede access to, fair and efficient adjudication of immigrant visas. The Department is not obligated to respond in any way to comments received in response to this Request for Public Input; however, the Department intends to consider all comments in developing the report to the President required under section 3c of E.O. 14012, describing its progress towards implementing a plan to advance the policy set forth in section 1 of E.O. 14012. This Request for Public Input does not create any right for members of the public who submit comments or any obligations for the Department of State.
III. Request for Input A. Maximizing the Value of Public Feedback This notice contains a list of questions, the answers to which may assist the Department in identifying aspects of immigrant visa-related processes that may benefit from the Departments review with the goals of eliminating any undue burdens on the public, saving costs for both the public and the Department, increasing navigability, saving time, reducing perceived confusion, promoting simplification, improving efficiency, and/or removing barriers that unnecessarily impede access to immigrant visas. The Department encourages public comment on these questions and seeks any other information or data commenters believe are relevant to this notice. The type of feedback that is most useful to the Department will identify specific regulations and/or processes and include actionable information and/or data and/or provide viable alternatives, that meet statutory obligations and regulatory objectives and requirements.
Public feedback that simply states that a stakeholder feels strongly that the 2 Proclamation No. 10014, 85 FR 23441 April 27, 2020.
