- This policy change applies to pending or new applications filed from December 5, 2025.
- Affected categories include refugees, asylum applicants, beneficiaries of deportation suspension, and those with pending adjustment of status.
- For TPS beneficiaries and parolees, EADs will be valid for one year or until the expiration of their TPS or parole status, whichever is shorter.
