Proposed immigration rules that are not in force
Counted from our archiveAug 1, 2026 to Oct 30, 2026
7
proposed rules recorded in the last 90 days, none of them in effect
What the data shows
- In the 90 days to Oct 30, 2026, ImmigrationClock recorded 7 proposed immigration rules. A proposed rule changes nothing until it is finalised, and it may never be.
- The most recent are Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation (Oct 15, 2026), Removing Deference to Prior USCIS Determinations of Eligibility (Oct 14, 2026) and Optional Practical Training Fees (Oct 8, 2026).
- Every one is labelled "not in force" in the archive, and none carries an effective date.
Caveats
- Whether a proposal is finalised, and in what form, is decided by the agency after the comment period. ImmigrationClock does not predict it.

Methodology & sources
Data signals are computed from the same committed snapshots the site renders. They are never typed in, never estimated, never written by a model. Only reported figures and exact counts of ImmigrationClock’s own archive qualify; nothing projected or modeled appears here. Direction and magnitude are stated, never causation. See all insights.
