This temporary measure will apply to applicants who correctly submitted an EAD renewal application on or after October 27, 2023. This is to ensure that immigrants who already have work permits do not lose their right to work in the United States due to delays in processing AED renewal applications.

By the way, from April 1, USCIS raised prices for immigration services - read about the new tariffs in our material.

This rule will apply to eligible EAD renewal applicants who timely and properly file Form I-765 within the 540-day period of publication of the new rule in the Federal Register.
