H.R.1 Annual Asylum Fee With EOIR

Asylum FEE UPDATE -

Source: Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc.

On Jan. 2, 2026, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) issued a policy memorandum rescinding and cancelling Policy Memorandum 25-36 regarding the Annual Asylum Fee (AAF) under H.R. 1 following ongoing litigation in ASAP v. USCIS. The new EOIR policy memorandum clarifies that the AAF will be waived for asylum applications that were pending for one year or more between July 5, 2025, and Sept. 30, 2025, and that were administratively final as of Sept. 30, 2025. The AAF will apply to applications that have been pending for one year or more as of Oct.1, 2025. Applicants will not be required to pay the AAF until an Immigration Judge (IJ) issues a written order setting a payment deadline with instructions for payment and consequences of nonpayment. EOIR emphasizes that it lacks authority to require IJs to set a specific deadline. Applicants whose cases are denied for failure to pay the AAF may challenge the decision through a motion to reopen or reconsider, an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals, or a petition for review in federal court, and not through a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act. EOIR also specifies that IJs should not issue oral notices or orders in addition to the written AAF payment order.
