Executive Office for Immigration Review; List of Free Legal Services

요약

This proposed rule transfers the responsibility for maintaining the list of free legal services in deportation proceedings from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to the Executive Office for Immigration Review, Office of the Chief Immigration Judge. This rule also proposes to amend the regulations governing the list by permitting attorneys who provide free legal services to indigent aliens to apply to be included on the list of free legal services. The rule also amends 8 CFR Part 103 by transferring appellate jurisdiction to the Board of Immigration Appeals from the Associate Commissioner for Examinations, INS, for appeals from decisions on applications relative to the list of free legal services and from decisions on removals from such a list.
