Inflation Adjustment for EOIR OBBBA Fees; Fiscal Year 2027
Key claim: The Justice Department is raising Executive Office for Immigration Review filing fees for fiscal year 2027 to keep pace with inflation, as required by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Abstract
(Rule · Justice Department, Executive Office for Immigration Review) The Department of Justice (“Department”) is making inflationary adjustments to immigration-related fees for filings with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (“EOIR”) as required by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2027.
Why this matters
Filing fees set by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act now escalate annually with inflation, meaning respondents in immigration court face steadily rising costs to file motions, appeals, and applications. Even modest annual increases compound access-to-justice concerns for detained and low-income noncitizens navigating EOIR proceedings.
