USCIS has announced changes to the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) policy, specifically ending the automatic 540-day extensions previously granted to legal workers. This policy update requires that all EAD applications receive actual approval and undergo security vetting, impacting many applicants. The changes were implemented to address backlogs and improve the vetting process for security purposes.
Key Details:
- Automatic 540-day EAD extensions have been eliminated.
- New applications will require actual approval and security vetting.
- Existing EADs will be grandfathered under the previous rules.
- No current EAD holders will have their status revoked.
This policy change may affect many legal workers who rely on EADs for employment. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
