EAD RENEWALS - RENOVACIONES DE EAD (PERMISO DE TRABAJO)

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) YouTube briefing, Attorney Lorena Rivas explains that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS/USCIS) has ended the practice of granting automatic extensions for Employment Authorization Document (EAD) renewals. The agency says the change is driven by a renewed emphasis on robust alien screening and a desire to reverse policies of the previous administration. Rivas argues the policy is harmful because renewal applications, which must be filed 180 days before expiration, are now taking far longer than the expected six‑month processing window—sometimes up to two years. During these delays, applicants may lose their jobs, be unable to renew driver’s licenses, and face other hardships. The discussion critiques the policy, highlights its real‑world consequences for immigrant workers, and uses both English and Spanish to reach a bilingual audience.
