USCIS is proposing a $50 fee for Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, when the form is filed with USCIS (“affirmative asylum applications”). There is no fee for an unaccompanied alien child (UAC) in removal proceedings who files Form I-589. A UAC who is not in removal proceedings will be charged the same proposed $50 Form I-589 fee as other affirmative filers. USCIS is reporting an increase to the estimated annual time burden to respondents as a result of this rulemaking.
