USCIS has streamlined the process for U Visa holders by automatically processing work permits (EAD) upon U Visa approval. Applicants can expect to receive their EAD within 2 to 4 weeks, although some may experience delays of up to 6 to 8 weeks.
Key Details:
- EAD processing is automatic upon U Visa approval; no separate application is needed.
- Most applicants receive their EAD within 2 to 4 weeks.
- In some cases, EAD may take up to 6 to 8 weeks to arrive.
- The EAD is valid for 4 years, matching the duration of U Visa status.
- If the EAD is not received after 60 days, applicants should follow up with USCIS.
This streamlined process significantly benefits U Visa holders by ensuring timely access to work authorization. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
