Table of Contents
The Department of Homeland Security published a correction to a final rule regarding signatures on immigration benefit requests. The original document, which went into effect earlier this year, contained typographical errors where the abbreviation for “Policy Manual” was written as “p.m.” instead of “PM.”
Why it matters: This is an administrative fix for a clerical error. It ensures that the official record accurately reflects the abbreviation used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. There is no change to applicant requirements or agency procedures, so the practical impact on the public is negligible.
