Employment Authorization Documents
June 12, 2021USCIS Updated Policies released on June 9,
Pursuant to USCIS Updated policy guidance (PDF, 296.76 KB), validity period of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) will increase from one-year to two years on both initial and renewal for certain adjustment of status applicants. This is due to ongoing processing delays as a result of numerous requests for employment authorization filed to USCIS (370,000 adjustment-related employment authorization requests in fiscal year 2020). Thus, the increasing validity period on EADs will reduce the number of EAD applications and allow the agency to shift limited resources to other priority areas.
