Employment authorization for individuals covered by DED for Liberia
September 6, 2022
USCIS published a Federal Register notice for the extension and expansion of eligibility for Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Liberians and explains how eligible Liberians may apply for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). On June 27, President Joe Biden issued a memorandum to extend and expand DED for Liberians for 24 months. Eligible Liberian nationals covered under DED as of June 30, 2022, may remain in the U.S. through June 30, 2024. The memorandum also defers the removal of any Liberian national, or individual without nationality who last resided in Liberia, who has been continuously physically present in the U.S. since May 20, 2017, and meets DED eligibility criteria.
