The Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has

proposed collection of information, including the validity of the

It means that their forms are so long winded they don't stand a chance of complying
with the law.

Per the instructions:
"During the 60-day regular review, ALL comments and suggestions, or questions
regarding additional information, to include obtaining a copy of the information
collection instrument with instructions, should be directed to Mr. Richard A. Sloan,
202-514-3291, Director, Policy Directives and Instructions Branch, Immigration and
Naturalization Service, U.S. Department of Justice, Room 4034, 425 I Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20536."
Well I sure would like to see a copy of that form (or as THEY say "information
collection instrument.") (Hey government paperwork reduction act workers... wouldn't
the paperwork be reduced by using the word "form"? It sure would save some reading
and some trees)
I called 202-514-3291... It only lets you get to a person if you know their seven
digit telephone nymber! And no... 514-3291 is not Mr. Sloan's number.
Would it be to hard to say "written requests only" instead of giving a red herring
telephone number?
