District Court Finds DHS Did Not Exceed Its Authority in Issuing 2016 STEM OPT Rule

Posted on March 23, 2021 by sethlerner1964

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia concluded that DHS did not exceed its statutory authority under the INA in issuing the 2016 Optional Practical Training (OPT) rule, and thus found that both the 12-month OPT and the STEM OPT extension programs are lawful. Accordingly, the court denied the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers’ (WashTech) motion for summary judgment, granted the government’s and the intervenors’ motions for summary judgement, and denied WashTech motion to strike.

District Court Halts Most of EOIR Filing Fee Rule from Going into Effect

Posted on January 24, 2021 by sethlerner1964

A district court judge issued a nationwide stay of the effective date of the December 18, 2020, EOIR final fee rule and a preliminary injunction to enjoin most of its implementation. The rule was set to go into effect today, January 19, 2021. Accordingly, fees will stay the same for BIA appeals from IJ decision (EOIR-26), BIA appeals from decision of DHS officer (EOIR-29), BIA motions to reopen, applications for LPR cancellation (EOIR-42A), applications for non-LPR cancellation (EOIR-42B), and applications for suspension of deportation (EOIR-40). The court did not enjoin the fee for immigration court motions to reopen, attorney disciplinary appeals, or the $50 asylum fee, the latter of which is currently enjoined nationwide by two other courts.
