重大利好消息：提交绿卡申请后 EAD 从1年增加到2年！

移民局6月9日更新政策手册，除了废除川普2018年政策，要求官员给有微小错误和遗漏的申请提供补充证据的机会、不能直接拒绝外，还将等待调整身份的申请人的工作许可从1年增加到2年。从现在开始，如果你提交了 AOS 申请绿卡，你的 EAD 工卡，不管是新发、还是延期，都是2年。但若你之前已经发了1年的 EAD、现在只是要换领（丢了），那么仍然是1年。移民局通知在这里。

移民局表示，这么做的原因是为了减轻移民局和申请人的负担。此前，等待调整身份的申请人，可申请 EAD、为期一年，但因为积压严重，移民局的 EAD 处理时间已经长达1年、有时甚至更久，给申请人带来很多麻烦。

USCIS has discretion to establish a specific validity period for employment authorization, though not to exceed a certain period of time in some circumstances. When determining the validity period for employment authorization for applicants based on a pending INA 245 adjustment application, USCIS may take into account processing times.

USCIS had previously limited the validity period for employment authorization based on a pending adjustment application to 1 year. However, as the median processing time for certain adjustment applications is close to, or in some cases, exceeds 1 year, limiting the validity period for employment authorization to 1 year has resulted in the expiration of EADs and the need for applicants to renew them while adjustment applications are still pending.

In the interest of reducing the burden on both the agency and the public, USCIS approves employment authorization based on a pending INA 245 adjustment application for a validity period of 2 years. USCIS provides in the approval notice and EAD the specific time period for which an applicant’s EAD is valid. USCIS approves a replacement EAD for the same validity dates and category as the original EAD.
