Immigration court alert: Reports show some hearings are being moved on days’ notice, and some people are never told. Missing a hearing, even by mistake, can lead to a deportation order. Check your hearing date and location now, and do not face court without a lawyer.
USCIS announced inflation adjustments to the fees created by the 2025 H.R. 1 law, covering inflation from July 2025 through July 2026. Examples: the annual fee for a pending asylum application rises from $102 to $105, the fee for an initial asylum-based work permit application (Form I-765) from $560 to $570, the Temporary Protected Status application fee (Form I-821) from $510 to $520, and the immigration parole fee (Form I-131) from $1,020 to $1,050. USCIS says that if a request is postmarked on or after October 16 and requires one of these fees, it must include the new fee.
What this may mean: Check the current fee on uscis.gov before you file. A payment that is even a few dollars short can lead to rejection and lost time.
