Executive Office for Immigration Review December 18, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On February 28, 2020, the Department of Justice (``the Department'' or ``DOJ'') published a notice of proposed rulemaking (``NPRM'' or ``proposed rule'') that would increase the fees for those Executive Office for Immigration Review (``EOIR'') applications, appeals, and motions that are subject to an EOIR-determined fee, based on a fee review conducted by EOIR. The proposed rule would not affect fees established by the Department of Homeland Security (``DHS'') with respect to DHS forms for applications that are filed or submitted in EOIR proceedings. The proposal would not affect the ability of aliens to submit fee waiver requests, nor would it add new fees. The proposed rule would also update cross-references to DHS regulations regarding fees and make a technical change regarding requests under the Freedom of Information Act (``FOIA''). This final rule responds to comments received in response to the NPRM and adopts the fee amounts proposed in the NPRM without change.
