Recent Law Changes
Changes to USCIS Immigration Fees and Procedures
This law amends U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations to codify new immigration fees and procedures required by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1). It establishes asylum and annual asylum fees, including consequences for non-payment; introduces a new Form I-94 fee requirement; sets validity periods for certain types of employment authorization; and retains the Form I-589 filing fee for every application. This affects individuals applying for immigration benefits or seeking asylum in the United States. The changes take effect on May 29, 2026.
Extension of Import Restrictions on Afghan Cultural Artifacts
This amendment extends emergency import restrictions on certain archaeological and ethnological material from Afghanistan. Previously, these restrictions were set to expire soon but are now extended until April 28, 2029. The regulations have been updated to align with other cultural property restrictions imposed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This change affects importers of Afghan artifacts who must comply with these restrictions or face penalties.
