> has to go through a very length period Doesn't the bottom of this announcement describe a previous rule that was announced in January 2024 and then implemented in March 2024? Interesting that rules process was far more rapid than this one.

And? So a different related rule started its process awhile back and a second rule was in the works concurrently. Is the USG only allowed to do one thing at a time? The comment period for this rule ended last year to give you an idea of how long this has at least been in the works. All of this information is rapidly found via the submitted url at the top of the page. https://www.regulations.gov/docket/USCIS-2023-0005/document https://www.regulations.gov/docket/USCIS-2023-0005/document

  It's the same question. What decides when a long process and comment period is required and when it isn't? Why does this agency have such variable performance when it comes to similar rulings?

The announcement in January was the end of the process, not the start. Here is the timeline of that previous rule: 2021-02-02: President Biden issued Executive Order (E.O.) 14012[0] 2021-04-19: Request for Public Input begins[1] 2021-05-19: Request for Public Input ends[2] 2023-10-23: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

  Also worth noting that today's rules, 89 FR 7456, and the previous one, 89 FR 103054, both derived from the same NPRM. Apparently, based on feedback they thought some parts of the rules needed more work than others and finalized them in two parts.
