USCIS Immigration Fees and Related Procedures Required by H.R.1 Reconciliation Bill; Correction

This document corrects the interim final rule (IFR) that published in the Federal Register on April 29, 2026. The IFR codified certain immigration fees and other provisions required by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) and amended USCIS regulations governing asylum and annual asylum fees, the new Form I-94 fee requirement, the validity period for certain types of employment authorization, and the retention of the Form I-589 filing fee for every application. This document will restore regulatory language that was unintentionally removed in the April 29, 2026 IFR.

What this means

  • This rule has been in effect since 2026-07-21. (effectiveAt)
  • The document names Asylum. It may identify others — read the original to be sure. (impact.stated (partial))

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

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 →
