The court granted a preliminary injunction blocking implementation of the increased fees for CW-1 petitions and other immigration benefits scheduled to take effect today. Accordingly, USCIS announcedthat it would continue accepting the current edition of USCIS forms and fees, and adjudicate requests under existing regulations and guidance. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California found plaintiffs, comprised of eight immigration rights organizations, met the standards warranting the injunction based on their claims that former Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan and Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolfe were unlawfully serving when the Notice of Proposed Rule and Final Rule were issued. They also argue the rule violates the Administrative Procedures Act and would cause irreparable harm, and that the injunction is in the public interest. The rule is enjoined pending outcome of the trial. DHS has 60 days to appeal the ruling, Immigration Legal Resource Center et al., v. Wolf, et al. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
