Abstract

This IFR amends DHS regulations to end the practice of automatically extending the validity of employment authorization documents (Forms I–766 or EADs) for aliens who have timely filed an application to renew their EAD in certain employment authorization categories. The purpose of this change is to prioritize the proper vetting and screening of aliens before granting a new period of employment authorization and/or a new EAD. This IFR does not impact the validity of EADs that were automatically extended prior to October 30, 2025, or which are otherwise automatically extended by law or Federal Register notice.
