New Immigration Rule for Asylum Seekers Takes Effect: Failing to Pay Annual Fee Will Cost Your Case
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Starting Friday, May 29, a new immigration rule takes effect for asylum seekers in the United States. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that applicants who fail to pay the annual asylum fee will have their cases rejected and face deportation proceedings. Asylum seekers must pay a fee of $102 within 30 days of notification. If they do not comply, their pending applications will be denied, and they will lose any pending employment authorization based on their asylum request. This fee was implemented last year as part of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' to increase funding for immigration operations.
