Important Information for I-765 Renewal Applicants!

Reversion to 180 period of automatic employment authorization

Beginning October 27, 2023, automatic extensions of employment authorization and EAD validity reverted to the original up to 180-day period for those eligible applicants who timely file Form I-765 renewal applications. This change is not retroactive; all previous up to 540-day automatic extensions will remain in place. For individuals who received an increased automatic extension under this rule, the automatic extension generally will end when they receive a final decision on their renewal application or the end of the up to 540-day period, whichever comes earlier.
