U.S to extend some expiring immigrant work permits
May 5, 2022
For some immigrants who are waiting for their final papers, temporary work authorization will be extended by the federal government. On Tuesday, a 540-day extension of work authorization for some immigrants was announced by USCIS. This new extension is expanding the 180-day extension USCIS previously updated in November. This new extension means those existing applicants will not need to pay fees for a new Employment Authorization Document (EAD) for that time. In March, USCIS had an EAD backlog of about 740,000 applications.
