USCIS has changed the deadlines for issuing work permits for asylum seekers in the United States

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on June 19 announced regulatory changes that will “help provide greater flexibility” in the processing of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) for asylum applicants. In effect, this means that the previous 30-day maximum period for reviewing such applications has now been removed and they may take much longer to process. This is stated in the message on the website USCIS.

The innovation will enter into force on August 21, 2020.

USCIS says the change will give its officials sufficient time to review and process applications and "to address national security concerns and detect fraud, enable technological advances in identity verification, and further deter those who may attempt to defraud the immigration system."

The agency believes that the innovation will allow to allocate limited resources as necessary. Earlier, USCIS was forced to involve employees, whose responsibilities include processing other types of applications, in the process of issuing work permits for asylum seekers in order to meet the 30-day deadline.

This period was determined more than 20 years ago. Since then, the number of asylum applications has increased significantly, and USCIS has developed additional critical verification procedures to reduce fraud and identify threats to national and public security.

“Eliminating the time limit for processing an application will give USCIS the flexibility to conduct systematic audits and identity verification procedures,” said USCIS Deputy Director Joseph Edlow. “USCIS’s key priority is to protect the integrity of our nation’s legal immigration system from those who seek to abuse it.” This change will reduce opportunities for fraud and protect the security processes we undertake for every work permit application.”

This rule also removes the requirement that asylum seekers submit their application for renewal of work permits to the USCIS 90 days prior to the expiration of their current permit. As of August 21, asylum seekers will be able to apply for renewals 180 days before the expiration of the previous permits.
