Description
DHS ne 14 October 2026 ko final rule issue karke 540-day automatic EAD extension permanently khatm kar diya. Ab jinka EAD renewal 30 Oct 2025 ke baad file hua hai, unka purana card expire hote hi kaam ruk jayega — naye approval tak intezaar karna hoga. Sabse zyada asar H-4 aur L-2 spouses par padega. EAD categories khatm nahi hui hain — sirf renewal pending rehne par automatic continue hona band hua hai. (Source: DHS final rule, 14 Oct 2026)
