USA // EAD now valid for 2 years

The American authorities have just announced that, effective immediately, the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) will be valid for 2 years instead of 1 year.

,

The EAD is a work authorization that completes the dependent status of a spouse willing to work in the US. Initial and renewal applications used to be very long to be processed and one could wait many months to see their permit issued or renewed. This created frustration on the applicant’s side and major burden on USCIS.

,

The change will allow USCIS to re-allocate limited resources to other priority areas, and ease foreigners’ immigration experience in the US.
