U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), earlier this year, enacted a temporary final rule extending the automatic renewal period for certain employment authorization documents (EADs) from a maximum of 180 days to up to 540 days.
The new regulation notice, titled, ‘Modifying Accreditation Regulations Governing Nonimmigrant Workers [1615-AC88]’ states that, “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations governing certain nonimmigrant workers. The proposed changes include updating the employment authorization rules regarding dependent spouses of certain nonimmigrants; increasing flexibilities for certain nonimmigrant workers, including those who resign or are terminated from employment, and religious workers who have reached their maximum period of stay or are waiting for immigrant visas to become available; and modernizing policies and procedures for Employment Authorization Documents.”
