Employment Authorization Renewal Issues

Being admitted to the United States does not mean that you are permitted to work legally in the country. In fact, many nonimmigrant visa holders are not permitted to work at all, such as a B-2 visitor’s visa or people entered under visa waiver programs (VWP). Other employment-based nonimmigrant visas, such as H-1B, L-1, O, P, E-1/E-2/E-3 visas, or F-1 under certain conditions, are permitted to work so long as they comply with the rules and regulations of the visa category and do not need to apply for EAD while in such visa status.
On the other hand, some nonimmigrant visas, such as J-2, L-2, certain H-4, and F-1 in Optional Practical Training (OPT), though permitted to work under certain conditions, must file Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization and receive Employment Authorization Documentation (EAD) in order to work legally and receive compensation in the United States. If you are adjusting your status to permanent residency but your Form I-485 is still pending with USCIS, you are eligible for EAD application by filing the I-765 concurrently with your I-485 Adjustment of Status application.
However, no matter on what basis you submit your I-765 application and receive your EAD, it is not permanent and at some point of time you may need to extend or renew your EAD in order to continue your employment in the U.S.
Eligibility for I-765 Employment Authorization
In summary, the following visa categories are eligible for Employment Authorization, including but not limited to:
- Applicants of I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status;
- F-1 International Students
- In Optional Practical Training (OPT) doing jobs/volunteer work directly related to one’s field of studies after completion of one’s academic program and enrollment as a full-time student at an accredited school for at least 9-12 months;
- Who need to seek off-campus employment due to unforeseen economic hardship with submission of sufficient documents to prove the hardship;
- H-4 Dependent spouse of H-1B under the circumstances of AC21 when
- The I-140 has been pending for over one year after the 5th year of H-1B status;
- The H-1B holder has an approved I-140 but the H-1B principal and H-4 dependent are not eligible for I-485 according to the visa bulletin
- J-2 Dependent spouse or minor child of J-1 Exchange Visitor/Scholars but the J-2 dependent’s wage cannot be the main support of the family;
- L-2 Dependent Spouse/Minor Child of L-1
- E-3D Dependent Spouse/Minor Child of E-3 main principal visa holder
- K-1 Fiance or Fiancee of a U.S. Citizen or dependent on a K-2 visa may file I-765 EAD application within 90 days of the date of entry; or
- Asylums, Asylum Applicants and refugees, or paroled as a refugee, a Temporary Protective Status (TPS) and DACA (Deferred Action) holders.
I-765 EAD Renewal
The Employment Authorization is usually issued with validity for a one-year or two-year period. You may start as early as 180 days prior to the expiration date of your existing EAD. You may not start the renewal prior to 180 days before the current EAD expiration date. The renewal of EAD may be done by filing Form I-765 or by paper mailing.
We advise you to file your I-765 Renewal with documentation as early as possible. In the past, there was a 90-day rule for the USCIS to process I-765 applications or renewals. However, the 90-day rule is no longer applicable to I-765 processing anymore. The current processing time of I-765, depending on the service center, may be up to 12 months or longer. If you do not wish to have a gap in your job, it is better to start early.
I-765 Automatic Renewal
Instead of the 90-day rule for I-765 processing, the USCIS allows automatic renewal or automatic extension for up to 180 days of the applicant’s existing I-765 for certain categories of applicants so long as the renewal application is submitted before the current I-765 expires . The basic rule of thumb is that if the basis of employment authorization (i.e. the applicant’s status in the U.S.) needs to be renewed, your employment authorization needs to be renewed too. Under this basic rule, those who are in refugee or refugee/asylee pending status, Permanent Residence application pending Status, TPS or VAWA status, are eligible for I-765 automatic renewal because they are granted status in the United States that do not require further renewal applications to maintain their status.
For more detailed information about I-765 automatic renewal, please go to the USCIS website at here.
Is there anyway to expedite the EAD application processing time?
Besides the I-765 automatic renewal, there are very limited situations where you may file an expedite request for your I-765 EAD application:
- Urgent humanitarian need where there is a medical emergency or an acute medical condition (as opposed to chronic medical conditions) that would endanger a person’s life or serious bodily harm;
- Compelling U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for Department of Defense or DHS, or other public safety or national security interests);
- Clear USCIS error; or
- Severe financial loss to a U.S. company or a U.S. citizen, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the applicant’s failure to file the benefit request in a reasonable time frame, or respond to any requests in a reasonably timely manner.
Please note that for employment authorization applications, the severe financial loss reason could not be the stand alone reason without other compelling factors in order to request expedited treatment of the application. Also the claim of severe financial loss must be documented to establish the loss and that the applicant cannot withstand the temporary financial loss as a result of the normal processing time of the application .

J1 Teachers raise this question frequently. The School Administration or the HR Department does a summary review of the sponsorship visa fees, and then they "condition job offers" to the J1 Teacher to pay their own fees in a few different ways. This article will target the following questions: Can the H-1B Employee pay the H-1B Fees for the Employer? Can the H-1B Employer have the Employee sign a promissory note? Can the H-1B Employer have the Employee take out a loan for their own fees? Can the H-1B Employer have the Employee drop the cashier checks for the Immigration Fees to the Employer? Can the H-1B Employer have the Employee pay the Immigration Attorney? Can the H-1B Employer have the Employee agree to a lower pay to compensate/reimburse the Employer for the H-1B Fees? The answer to each and every question is: NO. The U.S. Department of Labor regulations require that employers pay all expenses necessary for H-1B applications. The fees cannot be recouped from employees . The Regulations can be seen here:

Esta publicación cubrirá una de las preguntas más comunes que tiene un J1: ¿la exención J1 permitiría el empleo? En resumen, la respuesta depende de que se exima la visa J1. Un J1 aún puede trabajar durante su Período Autorizado DS-2019, con el mismo empleador y el mismo puesto. Si el Patrocinador NO cancela el Estatus J1 en el Sistema Gubernamental, el empleo aún está autorizado. Por lo tanto, la Exención no detendría el empleo, pero en sí misma no lo permite. Esta es una distinción importante, porque otros podrían ver J1 funcionando y podrían percibir erróneamente la exención que lo autoriza. Si el DS-2019 está por vencer o ya venció, el J1 Waiver NO otorga: autorización de empleo renovación de licencia de conducir viajes internacionales En otras palabras, la Exención J1 NO ES UN ESTADO para permanecer en EE.UU., eso es lo que hace la Visa J1. La Exención, en esencia, es simplemente un proceso para ROMPER un acuerdo previo para regresar al extranjero (país de origen) por un mínimo de dos años. Una vez aprobada la exención, el J1 puede buscar un estatus migratorio diferente, como por ejemplo: Inmigrar a los EE.UU. (adquirir Residencia Permanente Legal o Tarjeta Verde) ya sea a través del proceso de Ajuste de Estatus I-485 o el Proceso Consular DS-260 Visa de prometido K-1 Visa de Empleo H Visa de Empleo L Si trabajan más allá de la Visa J1 y sin autorización de empleo, la mayoría no son elegibles para Visas de Empleo, y las solicitudes de inmigración para la Tarjeta Verde pueden ser prohibidas o consideradas inadmisibles por Fraude I-9.

This post will cover one of the most common questions a J1 has, would the J1 Waiver permit employment? In short, the answer depends on the J1 Visa being Waived. A J1 can still work during their DS-2019 Authorized Period, with the same employer, and the same position. If the Sponsor DOES NOT terminate the J1 Status in the Government System, employment is still authorized. So, the Waiver would not stop employment, but it does not in of itself permit the employment. This is an important distinction, because others might see J1 Working, and they might misperceive the waiver authorizing it. If the DS-2019 is expiring or has already expired, the J1 Waiver DOES NOT grant: employment authorization driver's license renewal international travel In other words, the J1 Waiver is NOT A STATUS to remain in the US, that is what the J1 Visa does. The Waiver, at its core, is merely a process to BREAK a previous agreement to return abroad (home country) for a minimum of two years. Once the Waiver is approved, the J1 is able to seek a different immigration status, such as: Immigrate to the US (acquire Lawful Permanent Residence or Green Card) either through the I-485 Adjustment of Status process or the DS-260 Consular Process K-1 Fiance Visa H Employment Visa L Employment Visa If working beyond the J1 Visa and without employment authorization, most are ineligible for Employment Visas, and Green Card immigration filings may be barred or deemed inadmissible for I-9 Fraud. More information about the J1 Waiver can be seen on our website . If you are in need of J1 Waiver Assistance, please feel free to contact our office for a Consultation .

¡Cómo la bancarrota afecta la inmigración y la naturalización! La quiebra puede ser un proceso muy confuso, muy parecido a la inmigración. Las preguntas más comunes son: ¿Tengo que ser ciudadano estadounidense para declararme en quiebra? ¿La bancarrota afectará mi estatus migratorio? ¿Puede un inmigrante indocumentado declararse en quiebra? ¿Puede la quiebra afectar mi solicitud de ciudadanía? En general, una declaración de quiebra no afectaría una declaración de inmigración. La bancarrota está disponible para ciudadanos estadounidenses y no estadounidenses (como residentes permanentes legales, titulares de DACA, titulares de TPS e incluso inmigrantes indocumentados). Para declararse en quiebra, debe decir toda la verdad. La información proporcionada en la presentación debe ser precisa y su número de Seguro Social o ITIN debe ser exacto y suyo. Por lo tanto, cualquier persona que tenga una tarjeta de seguro social legal emitida por el gobierno o un ITIN puede declararse en quiebra. ¿Cuándo puede la quiebra afectar una presentación de inmigración, como el ajuste de estatus o la naturalización? El hecho de declararse en quiebra no afectaría una presentación de inmigración; sin embargo, el fraude, el perjurio y la tergiversación pueden descalificar a un inmigrante para un beneficio de inmigración por motivos de tergiversación o de mal carácter moral. Aquí hay algunos escenarios posibles donde las acciones de quiebra incorrectas pueden dañar una presentación de inmigración: Un declarante de bancarrota inmediatamente solicita una tarjeta de crédito con la completa intención de presentar el Capítulo 7 de Bancarrota para saldar la nueva deuda. En este escenario se puede denegar la quiebra y se puede considerar que el declarante tiene un carácter moral deficiente, lo que puede denegar una solicitud de naturalización o impedir una tarjeta verde en una presentación de ajuste de estatus. Un declarante de quiebra utilizó una tarjeta/número de Seguro Social falso, robado o adquirido de manera fraudulenta. Este acto sería una forma de perjurio, que puede negar una solicitud de naturalización o impedir una Tarjeta Verde en una solicitud de Ajuste de Estatus. [Nota: el hecho de que una Tarjeta de Seguro Social sea real no significa que haya sido adquirida legalmente. El uso de documentos falsos o una presentación de inmigración fraudulenta puede ser tan malo como que la tarjeta de Seguro Social sea falsa o robada. Un declarante de quiebra es indocumentado y utiliza múltiples números sociales, ITIN y otros números del IRS para falsificar presentaciones 1099 y tergiversar los ingresos sujetos a impuestos en una declaración de impuestos. Este perjurio con respecto a los ingresos invalidaría cualquier declaración de quiebra y puede negar una presentación de naturalización o impedir una tarjeta verde en una presentación de ajuste de estatus. Si tengo una inquietud, ¿con quién debo hablar: un abogado de inmigración o un abogado de quiebras? En caso de duda, lo mejor sería hablar con ambos tipos de abogados. Alternativamente, Nuestra oficina maneja tanto Inmigración como Bancarrota . Por lo tanto, seríamos una "ventanilla única" y determinaríamos sus derechos y evaluaríamos sus riesgos.
