USCIS Reissues Employment Authorization renewal receipt notices with correction
/On May 04, 2022, USCIS increased the automatic extension period of employment authorization and documentation for certain renewal applicants. This rule temporarily amends existing regulations and increases the period extension from 180 days to up to 540 days from the expiration dates stated on their EADs. This increase will be available to eligible renewal applicants with pending Forms I-765 as of May 4, 2022, including those applicants whose employment authorization may have lapsed following the initial 120-day extension period, and any eligible applicants who files a renewal Form I-765 during the 540-day period beginning of or after May 4, 2022, and ending October 26, 2023. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking steps to help prevent renewal applicants from experiencing a lapse in employment authorization and/ or documentation while their applications remain pending, and solutions are implemented to return processing times to normal levels.
