United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced an update on the
validity period for initial and renewal Employment Authorization Documents (EAD). USCIS
announced that their new policy is to increase the validity period to 5 years for certain eligible
immigrants. Noncitizens who were paroled, refugees, granted asylum, and recipients of
withholding of removal are eligible under this new policy. The increase in the validity period will
reduce the wait time for processing these applications.
If you or anyone you know needs help with their work permit, please contact Pikes Peak
Immigration to schedule a consultation.
