U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced this week that it will implement a streamlined process to provide Employment Authorization Documents to eligible refugees after they are admitted to the United States.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Under U.S. law, a refugee is legally authorized to work as soon as they arrive in the United States. Obtaining proof of this work authorization in the form of an EAD was previously a cumbersome paper-based process that led to undue delays. This new process is the result of coordination across the U.S. government to support the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and refugee integration.
