The 2026 BIA Appeals Rule After Amica Center v. EOIR: What Was Vacated and What Still Governs2026年BIA上诉规则在Amica Center诉EOIR案后的效力：哪些被撤销，哪些仍然适用
IWhat Changed变化内容
EOIR's interim final rule on appellate procedures before the Board of Immigration Appeals, 91 Fed. Reg. 5267 (Feb. 6, 2026), effective March 9, 2026, would have reduced the time to appeal an immigration judge's decision from 30 days to 10, made summary dismissal the default for many appeals, required simultaneous briefing without replies, and treated any issue not stated in the Notice of Appeal as waived.EOIR关于移民上诉委员会上诉程序的临时最终规则（《联邦公报》第91卷第5267页，2026年2月6日，2026年3月9日生效）原本将对移民法官裁决提起上诉的期限由30天缩短至10天，将多数上诉默认为简易驳回，要求双方同时提交诉状且不得答辩，并将上诉通知中未列明的问题视为放弃。
IIThe Litigation诉讼进展
In Amica Center for Immigrant Rights v. EOIR, No. 26-696 (RDM) (D.D.C. Mar. 8, 2026), the court vacated the 10-day deadline, the automatic summary dismissal provision and the waiver rule. The 30-day appeal period therefore continues to apply. Other parts of the rule remain in effect: simultaneous briefs due 20 days after the briefing schedule issues, extensions only for exceptional circumstances, fixed decision timelines, and transmission of the record without the immigration judge's review of the transcript. The case is stayed while EOIR proceeds with notice and comment toward a final rule.在Amica Center诉EOIR案（哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院，案号26-696 (RDM)，2026年3月8日）中，法院撤销了10天期限、自动简易驳回条款及放弃规则，因此30天上诉期仍然适用。规则的其他部分继续有效：双方须在诉状时间表发出后20天内同时提交诉状；仅在特殊情况下准予延期；裁决有固定时限；卷宗移送不再经移民法官审阅笔录。在EOIR就最终规则进行公告评论期间，该案中止审理。
IIIAnalysis分析
The vacatur removed the provisions most likely to forfeit appeals outright, but the surviving provisions still compress appellate practice. With no reply brief and extensions available only in exceptional circumstances, the opening brief is the only opportunity to answer the government. A final rule may also seek to restore the vacated provisions on a fuller record.撤销裁定去除了最可能直接导致上诉权丧失的条款，但保留的条款仍大幅压缩了上诉实务。没有答辩诉状、延期仅限特殊情况，首份诉状成为回应政府的唯一机会。最终规则亦可能在更完整的记录基础上恢复被撤销的条款。
IVWhat To Do Now应对建议
Treat the 30-day period as available but file well before it ends. List every issue in the Notice of Appeal regardless of the vacated waiver rule. Order the transcript and prepare the brief on the assumption that it must be complete when filed. Monitor the Federal Register for the final rule.30天期限仍可使用，但应提前提交。无论放弃规则是否已被撤销，都应在上诉通知中列明所有问题。及时申请笔录，并以“提交时即须完整”为前提准备诉状。持续关注《联邦公报》的最终规则。
