On Wednesday, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced a proposed rule designed to “deter frivolous or fraudulent asylum seekers from obtaining work authorizations.”

    USCIS proposes to:

        Prevent aliens who entered the United States illegally from obtaining work authorization based on a pending asylum application, with limited exceptions; and

        Automatically terminate employment authorization when an applicant’s asylum denial is administratively final.

        Clarify that an asylum applicant’s failure to appear for a required appointment may lead to dismissal of their asylum application and/or denial of their application for employment authorization;
