Do not rely on old extension information
Employment authorization rules change. Whether a timely renewal extends work authorization depends on the filing date, eligibility category, receipt notice, and current USCIS rules. Verify the official guidance that applies on the day you act.
- Calendar the earliest permitted renewal date.
- Match the category on the current card and renewal application.
- Keep copies of the filing, delivery proof, receipt notice, and prior authorization.
Check before employment decisions
Employers and applicants should use current USCIS and Form I-9 resources. Document preparers cannot determine employment eligibility or provide individualized legal advice.
