Jamie Santana+FollowBig Shake-Up for Work Permits!Heads up if you or your coworkers rely on Employment Authorization Documents (EADs)! USCIS just dropped some major changes: no more automatic 540-day extensions for most renewals starting Oct 2025, and the max validity for new EADs is getting slashed to 18 months for a bunch of categories. That means more frequent renewals, higher costs, and a real risk of work gaps if you don’t plan ahead. Time to double-check those expiration dates! #JobCareer #immigration #EAD00Share
plopez+FollowI Was Granted Asylum, But I Can't Legally WorkI fled Uganda a year ago due to persecution for my sexual orientation. Last month, the immigration judge granted my asylum application! I cried. I thought I was finally free. However, I have to wait 180 days after my asylum grant to apply for a work permit (EAD). For these six months, I can't rent an apartment (no credit history), can't get a driver's license, and can't work legally. I am surviving on food banks and crashing on friends' couches. I am desperate to start my new life, pay taxes, and support myself, but I'm trapped by this "waiting period." #Asylum #WorkPermit #EAD #Refugee #NewLife94132Share
