Immigration Services (USCIS) has unveiled a temporary final rule (TFR) to make work permits more accessible to immigrants. This move builds upon recent efforts to modernize immigration processes, particularly regarding eligibility for employment authorization documents (EADs). Under the new rule, the automatic 180-day period for certain EADs will be extended to 540 days. This decision follows substantial improvements in EAD processing times over the past year, ensuring that work-authorized noncitizens do not face interruptions in their employment status while awaiting USCIS decisions on EAD renewal applications.
