Inflation Adjustment for EOIR OBBBA Fees; Fiscal Year 2027

The Department of Justice ("Department") is making inflationary adjustments to immigration-related fees for filings with the Executive Office for Immigration Review ("EOIR") as required by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for Fiscal Year ("FY") 2027.

What this means

  • This rule is final but does not take effect until 2026-10-01. (effectiveAt)
  • The document states a requirement for the people it covers. The exact wording is quoted above — whether it applies to any particular person depends on facts this platform does not have. (impact.actionRequired)

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

Who is affected

The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.

What the document says may be required

The document states a requirement for those it covers. The exact obligation, and whether it applies to a particular person, depends on the document's own terms — the relevant passage is quoted below.

Administrative Procedure Act Under the Administrative Procedure Act (``APA''), agencies generally must provide ``notice of proposed rule making'' in the Federal Register and, after such notice, ``give interested persons an opportunity to participate in the rule making through submission of written data, views, or arguments.'' 5 U.S.C. 553(b)-(c).

Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Sep 15, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
