U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services announced a temporary final rule Thursday increasing the automatic extension period for certain employment authorization documents to up to 540 days.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Generally, automatic EAD extensions remain valid for a maximum of 180 days after expiration, but the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged that the longer extension is necessary because of application volume and processing times. The agency said that without the longer extensions nearly 800,000 EAD renewal applicants “would be in danger of experiencing a lapse in their employment authorization, and approximately 60,000 to 80,000 employers would be negatively impacted as a result of such a lapse.” Eligibility requirements for automatic extensions can be found on the USCIS Automatic EAD Extension page.
