DHS Ends Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially announced that it will end the automatic extension of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) that previously allowed certain workers to continue employment while their renewal applications were pending.

This change is extremely important for anyone who relies on a valid work permit to maintain lawful employment in the United States. Without the automatic extension, individuals whose EADs expire before their renewal is approved may experience a gap in work authorization

What This Means for You

If you have an Employment Authorization Document that is set to expire soon, it is more important than ever to renew your work permit as early as possible. USCIS allows EAD renewal applications to be filed up to 180 days before the expiration date, and filing early is the best way to avoid interruptions in your ability to work legally.
