Latest action on S. 3322: Star Print ordered on the bill.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects unaccompanied immigrant children and people who were once classified that way. It could also affect sponsors, caregivers, parents, legal guardians, immigration agencies, immigration courts, and groups that help children pay filing fees.
Why this matters: Fees can make it harder for unaccompanied children to file immigration papers and stay in the legal process. This bill would remove several of those costs for children who qualify. It could also make sponsors more willing to come forward by limiting how their information is shared. The full cost and day-to-day impact would depend on how agencies carry out the changes.
Key provisions in S. 3322
- People who are, or once were, officially found to be unaccompanied immigrant children would not pay several immigration fees. These include asylum application fees, yearly asylum fees, and a border apprehension fee.
- Work permit fees would be waived for this group. The waiver would also cover renewals tied to parole, asylum applications, and Temporary Protected Status, a protection for people from unsafe countries.
- The bill would repeal the Special Immigrant Juvenile fee created by Public Law 119-21. The Department of Homeland Security could not charge that fee to the child, a parent, or a legal guardian.
- The bill would remove a Public Law 119-21 paragraph that changed protection screenings and legal process rules. That would bring back the earlier rules in that area.
- The bill would strike specific body exam rules for the Office of Refugee Resettlement and the Department of Homeland Security. This would narrow when those exams may happen.
