USCIS has implemented new policies that limit applicants from filing for employment authorization more than six months in advance, while processing times have ballooned to over 13 months. This change has eliminated automatic extensions, leaving many individuals unable to work while they await the processing of their cases.
Key Details:
- Applicants can only file for employment authorization up to six months before the expiration of their current authorization.
- Current processing times for employment authorization applications exceed 13 months.
- Automatic extensions that previously allowed individuals to continue working during processing have been removed.
- Affected individuals are left without work authorization, leading to financial instability.
The changes have significant implications for immigrants relying on work authorization to support themselves and their families. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
