USCIS to Issue Redesigned Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Cards
October 26th, 2011 | Category: Articles,News
USCIS has announced that effective October 30, 2011, it would issue redesigned Employment Authorization Document Cards (also known as “EAD” or “work permit” cards ) The redesign is mainly driven to incorporate new security features to deter counterfeiting, tempering and document fraud, generally.

No Changes to Application Procedures
Even though the design is changing, the procedures for applying for and obtaining an EAD card remain the same. We have written extensively in the past on the delays associated with obtaining EADs of more than 90 days and we hope that the new design would, at least, not make these EAD production delays even worse. As a result, we continue to urge our readers and clients to apply for their EADs 90-120 days in advance of either current EAD expiration or in advance of anticipated employment start date.
Our office can help you with the EAD filing application – please contact us.
