Certain Petitioners for U Nonimmigrant Status May Receive a Refund for Applications for Employment Authorization Submitted Before Sept. 30, 2021
November 23, 2021
USCIS mistakenly rejected certain applications for employment authorization ( Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization ) from petitioners for U nonimmigrant status that were filed without a fee or request for a fee waiver from June 14 through Sept. 29, 2021. USCIS also mistakenly accepted fees where certain petitioners for U nonimmigrant status unnecessarily submitted a fee with their Form I-765. USCIS is tracking this issue and is committed to correcting errors and expects to issue refunds by March 22, 2022.
