    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of DHS

documentation at the port of entry. If the F, J or M nonimmigrant is 
missing any piece of this documentation, a Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the port 
of entry has discretion to issue the F, J or M nonimmigrant a Form I-
515A, Notice to Student or Exchange Visitor, which allows the 
nonimmigrant temporary entry into the United States for 30 days in 
order for the nonimmigrant to compile and submit the documentation. The 
Form I-515A provides a list of the documentation the F, J or M 
nonimmigrant will need to provide to DHS. The F, J or M nonimmigrant 
must send the documentation to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program 
(SEVP), an office of the DHS agency, U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE). SEVP must receive a complete response within 30 days 
of the F, J or M nonimmigrant's admission. Form I-515A collects 
information authorized by 8 U.S.C. 1101 and 1184 to confirm that the F, 
J or M nonimmigrant is eligible for admission into the United States. 
The Form I-515A enables CBP to avoid having to deny entry into the 
United States to an otherwise eligible F, J or M nonimmigrants.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 4,744 responses 
at 10 minutes (0.166 hours) per response.
