Memphis Immigration Partner Discusses USCIS Extension for Expiring Work Permits

In an interview with SHRM, David Jones discusses USCIS’ decision to temporarily increase the automatic extension period for foreign workers with expiring employment authorization documents. The new policy will immediately benefit about 87,000 workers who have filed for a renewal and are currently past, or soon will be past, the existing 180-day automatic extension period. “There are many foreign workers out there who were about to lose their employment authorization or have already lost it due to USCIS delays," David said. "This change will allow employers to bring back immediately covered workers who had to be put on leave or terminated and prevents them from losing many others whose work authorization was about to lapse.”
