USCIS Increases Automatic Extension Period of Work Permits for Certain Applicants
May 3, 2022
A Temporary Final Rule (TFR) was announced by USCIS to increase the automatic extension period for employment authorization and Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). This new process will be available for certain EAD renewal applicants for up to 540 days. On May 4, 2022, the increase will be effective immediately and will help avoid gaps in employment for noncitizens with pending EAD renewal applications and stabilize the continuity of operations for U.S. employers.
