DHS provided a 60-day public comment period and a 90-day effective date to provide the public with an opportunity to review the regulatory text and point out any errors made in the published final rule before it becomes effective. DHS has reviewed the public comments on the docket of this final rule and determined that several errors and omissions require correction. Specifically, through technical drafting oversights, DHS: • Instructed the removal of the phrase “petitions and applications” instead of instructing the removal of the phrase “applications or petitions” and “applications and petitions” in 8 CFR 103.2; • Omitted the substitution of “benefit request” for “application or benefit” in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(5); • Incorrectly amended the second sentence of 8 CFR 103.2(b)(19) by removing the term “petitioner” and inserting “beneficiary”; • Omitted instructional text for reserving 8 CFR 103.20 through 103.36 after they are removed; • Omitted the substitution of “USCIS” for the terms “The USCIS”, “the BCIS”, and “The BCIS” in 8 CFR 103.2; • Omitted references to the title of the form required for accompanying or following-to-join derivatives of refugees in 8 CFR 207.7 and for admission of asylee spouses and children in 8 CFR 208.21; • Omitted the substitution of “Permanent Resident Card” for “permanent resident card” in 8 CFR 211.5(c); • Provided conflicting instructions affecting paragraph (b)(1) of 8 CFR 212.2; • Incorrectly instructed that the heading for 8 CFR 212.7 be revised; • Incorrectly instructed to revise terms in the second sentence of the introductory text of paragraph (m)(2) of 8 CFR 212.15; • Omitted the term “a” from the amendatory text being revised in 8 CFR 213.2a; • Incorrectly included the term “in” in the text being revised in 8 CFR 213.2a(c)(2)(i)(A); • Omitted instructional text for revising the following terms in 8 CFR 213a.2: ○ The terms “Form I-864 or I-864A”, “a Form I-864 or I-864A”, “Form I-864 and I-864A” to read “affidavit of support”; ○ The terms “any Forms I-864A” to read “affidavit of support and any required attachments”; ○ The term “any Form I-864A” to read “any affidavit of support or required attachment”; ○ The term “Forms I-864” to read “affidavits of support”; ○ The term “I-864A” to read “affidavit of support attachment”; and ○ The term “A Form I-864” to read “An affidavit of support”. • Omitted the term “Form” from the text being revised in 8 CFR 324.2; • Omitted the term “the” from the text being revised in 8 CFR 244.7(b) and 8 CFR 244.14(a)(3); • Provided conflicting instructions affecting 8 CFR 245.21(j); and • Erroneously instructed to change the term “district director” to read “USCIS” and omitted instructions to revise the term “the Service” to read “USCIS” in 8 CFR 335.9.

On page 53783, third column, amendment 39, revise the amendatory language for the revisions to paragraphs

(d)and

(f)to read as follows: § 207.7 Derivatives of refugees.

(d)*Filing.* A refugee may request accompanying or following-to-join benefits for his or her spouse and unmarried, minor child(ren) (whether the spouse and children are inside or outside the United States) by filing a separate Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative in accordance with the form instructions for each qualifying family member. The request may only be filed by the principal refugee. Family members who derived their refugee status are not eligible to request derivative benefits on behalf of their spouse and child(ren). A separate Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative must be filed for each qualifying family member within two years of the refugee's admission to the United States unless USCIS determines that the filing period should be extended for humanitarian reasons. There is no time limit imposed on a family member's travel to the United States once the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative has been approved, provided that the relationship of spouse or child continues to exist and approval of the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative has not been subsequently revoked. There is no fee for this benefit request.

(f)*Approvals.*

(1)*Spouse or child in the United States.* When a spouse or child of a refugee is in the United States and the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative is approved, USCIS will notify the refugee of such approval. Employment will be authorized incident to status.

(2)*Spouse or child outside the United States.* When a spouse or child of a refugee is outside the United States and the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative is approved, USCIS will notify the refugee of such approval. USCIS will send the approved request to the Department of State for transmission to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate having jurisdiction over the area in which the refugee's spouse or child is located.

(3)*Benefits.* The approval of the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative will remain valid for the duration of the relationship to the refugee and, in the case of a child, while the child is under 21 years of age and unmarried, provided also that the principal's status has not been revoked. However, the approved Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative will cease to confer immigration benefits after it has been used by the beneficiary for admission to the United States as a derivative of a refugee. For a derivative inside or arriving in the United States, USCIS will issue a document reflecting the derivative's current status as a refugee to demonstrate employment authorization, or the derivative may apply, under 8 CFR 274a.12(a), for evidence of employment authorization. PART 208—PROCEDURES FOR ASYLUM AND WITHHOLDING OF REMOVAL 8. On page 53784, third column, amendment 50, revise the amendatory language for paragraphs

(c)and

(d)to read as follows: § 208.21 Admission of the asylee's spouse and children.

(c)*Spouse or child in the United States.* When a spouse or child of an alien granted asylum is in the United States, but was not included in the asylee's benefit request, the asylee may request accompanying or following-to-join benefits for his or her spouse or child, by filing for each qualifying family member a Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative, with supporting evidence, and in accordance with the form instructions, regardless of the status of that spouse or child in the United States. A separate Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative must be filed by the asylee for each qualifying family member within two years of the date in which he or she was granted asylum status, unless it is determined by USCIS that this period should be extended for humanitarian reasons. Upon approval of the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative, USCIS will notify the asylee of such approval. Employment will be authorized incident to status. To demonstrate employment authorization, USCIS will issue a document reflecting the derivative's current status as an asylee, or the derivative may apply, under 8 CFR 274a.12(a), for employment authorization. The approval of the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative will remain valid for the duration of the relationship to the asylee and, in the case of a child, while the child is under 21 years of age and unmarried, provided also that the principal's status has not been revoked. However, the approved Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative will cease to confer immigration benefits after it has been used by the beneficiary for admission to the United States as a derivative of an asylee.

(d)*Spouse or child outside the United States.* When a spouse or child of an alien granted asylum is outside the United States, the asylee may request accompanying or following-to-join benefits for his or her spouse or child(ren) by filing a separate Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative for each qualifying family member in accordance with the form instructions. A separate Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative for each qualifying family member must be filed within two years of the date in which the asylee was granted asylum, unless USCIS determines that the filing period should be extended for humanitarian reasons. When the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative is approved, USCIS will notify the asylee of such approval. USCIS also will send the approved request to the Department of State for transmission to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate having jurisdiction over the area in which the asylee's spouse or child is located. The approval of the Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative will remain valid for the duration of the relationship to the asylee and, in the case of a child, while the child is under 21 years of age and unmarried, provided also that the principal's status has not been revoked. However, the approved Request for Refugee/Asylee Relative will cease to confer immigration benefits after it has been used by the beneficiary for admission to the United States as a derivative of an asylee.
