DHS plans to rescind two final rules related to employment authorization for asylum applicants.

(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).DHS may in the future engage in further rulemaking on the topic.
