Certain renewal applicants who filed Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), qualify for an automatic extension of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) that will expire while their renewal application is pending.
Starting Monday, those who are eligible will receive 180-day extensions in accordance with current regulations, including those who have applied for or received Temporary Protected Status or asylum, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced.
In May 2022, USCIS announced the temporary final rule (TFR) that increased the automatic extension period for employment authorization and/or EAD available to certain EAD renewal applicants from up to 180 days to up to 540 days. Monday's change is not retroactive, meaning all previous automatic extensions of up to 540 days will remain in effect.
The court reported that it is in the process of determining whether there is an operational need for new regulatory action similar to the May 2022 TFR, despite past and ongoing operational improvements and efforts to expedite EAD processing in a timely manner. more espacious.
