In the Nutshell
This Practice Alert will first explain the changes to USCIS and EOIR filing fees, and the
new penalty fees to be imposed for certain immigration violations. Second, it will review
changes to immigrant eligibility for public benefits as they relate to immigrant survivors
of human trafficking. Finally, this Practice Alert will discuss how immigrant survivors of
human trafficking are affected by these changes and what practitioners can do to
address the potential negative impact HR-1 will have on their clients.
