USCIS Seeks Public Comment on e-Request Tool Information Collection

USCIS has published a notice in the Federal Register announcing the extension of its currently approved information collection activities for the e-Request Tool, with no changes to the existing collection. The notice was published on January 29, 2026, and opens a public comment period ending March 30, 2026. The e-Request Tool allows immigration applicants to submit inquiries about their pending cases directly to USCIS. This administrative extension maintains the existing framework without substantive modifications to how the tool operates or what information is collected. While this notice is procedural in nature, it is relevant to EB-3 applicants who may use the e-Request Tool to follow up on pending petitions or applications. The tool can be useful for those experiencing delays in processing or seeking status updates on Form I-140 petitions or adjustment of status applications.
