DHS Finalizes Rule Ending Automatic Work Permit Extensions
Original: DHS Finalizes Rule Ending Automatic Work Permit Extensions for Immigrants
The Department of Homeland Security has finalized a rule eliminating automatic extensions of work permits for immigrants whose applications are pending. Under the change, foreign nationals whose employment authorization documents expire will no longer be able to keep working while renewals are processed. Immigration lawyers and advocates warn the policy could leave many workers unable to stay employed during processing delays.
Why now: The finalized federal rule directly affects large numbers of immigrant workers and employers, prompting concern about job losses and processing backlogs.
