Title: ●Rescission of "Asylum Application, Interview, & Employment Authorization" Rule and Change to "Removal of 30 Day Processing Provision for Asylum Applicant Related Form I-765 Employment Authorization" 
Abstract:

DHS plans to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking that would rescind or substantively revise two final rules related to employment authorization for asylum applicants. On August 25, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a final rule that modified DHS's regulations governing asylum applications, interviews, and eligibility for employment authorization based on a pending asylum application. (85 FR 38532).  

On August 21, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a final rule that removed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulatory provision stating that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has 30 days from the date an asylum applicant files the initial Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, to grant or deny that initial employment authorization application. (85 FR 37502).
