Automatic Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Extension

USCIS is automatically extending certain expiring EADs for up to 180 days for applicants who:

• Properly filed for a renewal EAD before their current EAD expired; and

  • Your EAD renewal is under a category that is eligible for an automatic 180-day extension (see the list of categories below); and
  • The category on your current EAD matches the “Class Requested” listed on this Notice of Action.  (Note:  If you are a TPS beneficiary or pending applicant, your EAD and this Notice must contain either the A12 or C19 category, but the categories do not need to match each other).

These automatic extensions help prevent gaps in employment authorization and documentation. This extension applies to Form I-765 renewal applications.

The following categories of EADs are eligible for an automatic extension of up to 180 days:
