The information collected on this application will be used to determine whether an alien applying for asylum and/or withholding of removal in the United States is classifiable as a refugee, or eligible for protection under the Convention Against Torture, and is eligible to remain in the United States.
On June 26, 2020, after going through notice and comment rulemaking, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a final rule titled Asylum Application, Interview, and Employment Authorization for Applicants.1 On February 7, 2022, in Asylumworks et al. v. Mayorkas et al., the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia vacated the Asylum Application, Interview, and Employment Authorization for Applicants rule. DHS did not appeal the decision and allowed the 60-day period in which to note an appeal expire. DHS is moving to fully comply with the court’s decision vacating the Asylum Application, Interview, and Employment Authorization for Applicants rule.2 Therefore, Form I-589 and Form I-765 need to be amended to remove any changes promulgated by the Asylum Application, Interview, and Employment Authorization for Applicants rule. DHS is seeking emergency processing to reverse the changes made by that rule in order to fully comply with the court’s vacatur of the Asylum Application, Interview, and Employment Authorization for Applicants rule.
