USCIS Extension of Work Permits
The Biden administration announced an extension of work permits for immigrants, avoiding job losses for many. USCIS published a rule extending Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) from 180 to 540 days for eligible immigrants.
Impacts on Asylum Seekers
- Larger Validity Period: Eligible asylum seekers and foreign nationals benefit from the extended EAD validity, preventing work disruptions.
- USCIS Improvements: USCIS benefits from increased processing capacity and quicker decisions for applicants.
The extension provides relief to individuals, businesses, and advocacy groups concerned about permit expirations and job losses.
