The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made a change, under which thousands of Indian professionals and their dependents will have to stop working if their employment authorization renewal is not approved on time. Let us tell you that this rule has become effective from Thursday (October 30, 2205).
According to the new rule, automatic extension of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) will end. Due to this, non-American citizens will not be able to work there. DHS said in a statement that aliens who apply to renew their EAD on or after October 30, 2025, will no longer receive an automatic extension of their EAD.
Foreigners will now be checked multiple times
With the abolition of the automatic extension of EAD, foreigners seeking work in America will now be subject to multiple checks. Till now, employees could continue their jobs for 540 days as long as their renewal applications were pending for approval. Under the new rule, if a person’s renewal is not approved before the expiry of his current EAD, he will have to stop working immediately.
What did the US Department of Homeland Security tell?
According to a statement issued by DHS, USCIS has advised non-Americans to properly complete their EAD renewal applications in a timely manner so that their EAD can be renewed 180 days before it expires. The longer an alien takes to file an EAD renewal application, the more likely it is that their employment authorization or documentation may temporarily lapse.
threat to indians
This decision of the Trump government is expected to have a major impact on Indian citizens, who form a large part of the American migrant workforce and are already stuck in pending cases of green cards and visas. Senior attorney Henry Lindpere said the rule represents a major change in the way employment authorization renewals are conducted in the US. The categories where Indians will be affected include OPT students, H-4 visa and green card applicants.
