Due to continued EAD production delays, USCIS announced they will extend the validity date of individual’s EAD approval notices (Form I-797) as valid work authorization until February 1, 2021. This only applies to individuals with EAD approval notices dated from December 1, 2019 to August 20, 2020. By February 1, 2021, employers will need to reverify the employees who presented approval notices for new evidence of work authorization.
