On October 29, 2025, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced an interim final rule that ends the automatic extension of employment authorization documents (EAD) for certain employment authorization categories. Under this new change, all foreign nationals who file to renew their EAD application on or after October 30, 2025, will not receive an automatic extension of their expiring EADs. This does not affect the EADs that were automatically extended prior to October 30, 2025.
