IWhat Changed变化内容

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Pub. L. 119-21 (July 4, 2025), created mandatory immigration fees that cannot be waived: $100 to file an asylum application, an annual asylum fee for every year an application remains pending, $550 for an initial asylum-based work permit and $275 for each renewal, among others. Fees in Immigration Court rose as well, including an additional $900 for a BIA appeal or a motion to reopen and an additional $1,500 for non-LPR cancellation of removal or adjustment of status before the court. All of these amounts are indexed to inflation.《大而美法案》（公法119-21，2025年7月4日）设立了不得减免的强制性移民收费：庇护申请费100美元、申请待决期间每年缴纳的庇护年费、首次庇护工卡550美元、每次续期275美元等。移民法庭收费亦大幅上调，包括向移民上诉委员会（BIA）上诉或申请重开案件另加900美元，法庭上申请非永久居民取消递解或调整身份另加1,500美元。上述金额均随通胀调整。

Three implementing rules followed. A USCIS interim final rule, 91 Fed. Reg. 22952 (Apr. 29, 2026), effective May 29, 2026, provides that an asylum application will be rejected, and any related work permit denied or terminated, if the annual fee is not paid within 30 days after notice. An EOIR interim final rule published June 11, 2026 requires payment of court fees through the EOIR Payment Portal and removes the long-standing rule that a respondent with several applications pays only the highest fee. Separately, DHS ended automatic EAD extensions for renewals filed on or after October 30, 2025, and USCIS cut the maximum EAD validity for asylum applicants, asylees, refugees and pending adjustment cases to 18 months as of December 5, 2025.随后出台三项实施规则。美国移民局（USCIS）临时最终规则（《联邦公报》第91卷第22952页，2026年4月29日，2026年5月29日生效）规定：经通知后30日内未缴纳庇护年费的，庇护申请将被拒收，相关工卡将被拒发或终止。移民审查执行办公室（EOIR）于2026年6月11日公布的临时最终规则，要求法庭费用一律通过EOIR缴费平台缴纳，并取消了“多项申请只缴最高一项费用”的长期规则。另外，国土安全部取消了2025年10月30日及以后提交的工卡续期的自动延期；USCIS自2025年12月5日起，将庇护申请人、庇护获得者、难民及调整身份待决者的工卡最长有效期缩短至18个月。

IIThe Litigation诉讼进展

In ASAP v. EOIR, No. SAG-25-03299 (D. Md. Sept. 22, 2026), the court rejected the claim that the annual asylum fee could not be applied to applications already pending when H.R. 1 was enacted. It vacated, however, EOIR's January 2, 2026 implementing memorandum and the template order immigration judges had been issuing, because they placed the burden of proving payment on respondents and risked treating nonpayment as defeating withholding of removal and Convention Against Torture claims as well. The court declined to order refunds of fees already paid.在ASAP诉EOIR案（马里兰联邦地区法院，案号SAG-25-03299，2026年9月22日）中，法院驳回了“庇护年费不得适用于H.R. 1颁布时已待决申请”的主张；但撤销了EOIR于2026年1月2日发布的实施备忘录及移民法官使用的模板命令，理由是其将付款举证责任加诸申请人，且有可能把未缴费视为同时否定暂缓遣返及《禁止酷刑公约》保护请求。法院拒绝下令退还已缴费用。

IVWhat To Do Now应对建议

Calendar the anniversary of every pending I-589 and keep USCIS and EOIR payment receipts in the file. File EAD renewals as early as the rules allow, and give employers written notice of the new validity periods. For respondents in court, confirm the current inflation-adjusted fee for each application before filing, since a single payment no longer covers multiple forms.为每一件待决I-589登记周年日，并在档案中保存USCIS及EOIR的缴费收据。在规则允许的最早时间提交工卡续期，并书面告知雇主新的有效期规定。对于移民法庭案件，提交前须核实每一项申请当前经通胀调整后的费用，因为一笔费用已不能涵盖多份表格。
