USCIS Ends Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization With Interim Final Rule
On October 29, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an interim final rule (IFR) that will end its current practice of automatically extending employment authorization documents (EADs) for foreign nationals who file renewal applications based on certain employment authorization categories. Beginning with renewal applications filed on or after October 30, 2025, most foreign nationals who previously qualified for the maximum 540-day automatic extension of work authorization will no longer receive an automatic EAD extension.
