EAD Renewals: The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS<\/strong>) has given a temporary final rule<\/strong> that temporarily increases the automatic extension period of certain employment authorization documents (EADs) <\/strong>while the form I-765 renewal application<\/strong> is pending. Under this temporary rule, instead of rather than extending the validity period of a qualifying EAD by up to 180 days<\/strong>. The validity period of qualifying EADs will be extended by up to 540 days<\/strong> while the renewal application is pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic EAD Extension Only Applies to Certain Categories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EAD candidates in specific categories, like candidates with pending I-485 applications<\/strong>, asylees, and those in temporary protected status. TPS is granted automatic extensions of expiring EADs based on a timely filed application to renew the EAD in the same category. As of 4th May 2022,<\/strong> this automatic extension<\/strong> has been increased from 180 days to 540 days. As long as the renewal application remains pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dependent spouses in H-4 or L2S status<\/strong> are also eligible for an automatic extension of the EAD based on a pending renewal application. The EAD extension is granted for up to 540 days<\/strong>, or the candidate’s I-94 expiration<\/strong> date, whichever date is earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule Applies EAD Renewals Application Filed Through 26 Oct 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As explained in the rule, the 540-day extension <\/strong>applies to three groups of renewal candidates. Who previously would only have been eligible for a 180-day automatic extension<\/strong>. First, it applies to those candidates who had a renewal application pending as of the 4th May 2022, the effective
date of this temporary rule, and whose EAD <\/strong>had not yet expired or whose 180-day auto-extension had not yet lapsed`. Second, it applies to renewal candidates who file an I-765 renewal application on or before 26th October 2023<\/strong>. Third, the temporary rule also applies to certain renewal candidates whose 180-day auto-extension has already expired. In those cases, employment authorization resumes effective 4th May 2022<\/strong>. And generally continues for a period of as long as up to 540 days from the date the EAD expired, as shown on the face of the EAD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[US announces 1.5-year extension for expiring work permits, including permits for H-1B spouses<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While this rule change is beneficial to certain renewal<\/strong> candidates. It does not provide any benefit to those applying for initial EADs, or to candidates not eligible for the 180-day renewal<\/strong>. We urge the USCIS to do more to address the tremendous issues <\/strong>created by adjudication delays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
