- to adjudicate asylum applications in immigration proceedings within 180 days of filing,
- to set and charge a fee for all asylum applications and for employment authorization related to an asylum claim, and
- to bar employment authorization to those who entered or attempted to enter the U.S. unlawfully before relief or protection from removal has been granted.
