Background
On November 14, 2019, DHS
published the proposed rule, ‘‘U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services
Fee Schedule and Changes to Certain
Other Immigration Benefit Request
Requirements,’’ in the Federal Register
proposing to adjust certain immigration
and naturalization benefit request fees
charged by U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS). See 84
FR 62280. That rule proposed to
eliminate this information collection.
On August 3, 2020, DHS published the
final rule making the changes effective
on October 2, 2020. 85 FR 46788 (Aug.
3, 2020) (final rule). Form I–942 was
eliminated in the final rule.
On September 29, 2020, the United
States District Court for the Northern
District of California granted a motion
for a preliminary injunction and a stay
of the effective date of the final rule in
its entirety. Immigrant Legal Resource
Center v. Wolf, No. 4:20–cv–5883 (N.D.
Cal. Sept. 29, 2020). On October 8, 2020,
the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia also granted a
motion for a preliminary injunction of
the final rule. See Northwest Immigrant
Rights Project, et al., v. United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services, et
al. (No. 19–3283 (RDM) (D.D.C., Oct. 8,
2020). Therefore, DHS is enjoined from
implementing or enforcing the final rule
in its entirety pending final adjudication
of the two cases.
USCIS is publishing this notice in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act as required to extend the
approval to use Form I–942 while the
final rule is enjoined.
