This part sets the ground rules for the fees that follow. They apply to certain people who are not citizens. Words carry the meaning an older immigration law gives them. A reference to a section means one in that law.
“The fees under this subtitle shall apply to aliens in the circumstances described in this subtitle.”
The section provides that the fees under the subtitle apply to aliens in the circumstances the subtitle describes.
What the document actually says
“The fees under this subtitle shall apply to aliens in the circumstances described in this subtitle.”
That sentence, in plain words
The fees reach people who are not citizens. The rest of this part says when.
What this is about
It sets no fee itself. It fixes who the later rules reach. Each later part names its own case.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
“The terms used under this subtitle shall have the meanings given such terms in section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101).”
The section gives the terms used in the subtitle the meanings section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act gives them, and provides that, except where expressly stated otherwise, a reference in the subtitle to a section or other provision means one in that Act.
What the document actually says
“The terms used under this subtitle shall have the meanings given such terms in section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101).”
That sentence, in plain words
The words in this part carry set meanings. An older immigration law gives them.
What this is about
That law is the Immigration and Nationality Act. A reference to a section means one in it. That is unless the text says otherwise.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
All three things the section does: fix who the fees apply to, adopt the definitions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and read references as pointing to that Act.
Nothing in the section is left out. It has three subsections and each is recorded.
The section works entirely by pointing to the Immigration and Nationality Act, which is not indexed here, so the terms it borrows cannot be checked against anything on this site.
