Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.
This is not an automatic extension, which means that if you have a work permitThe card expires on the date shown on the card.
The news is that as of this moment, Immigration will begin approving certain work permits. Specifically, we are talking about the refugeesand also the people who have been approved for a asylum. This does not apply to all those who have a pending asylum, only if you have been approved now when you apply, you will be given a work permit for two years.
There are also the victims of domestic violence who have been applying for violence and qualify for a work permit on the basis of deferred action, these individuals will also be given a two-year work permit.
If you entered with a humanitarian paroleIf you were given a work permit, you will be granted a work permit until the policy expires. deferred action for humanitarian reasonsFor example, and that policy has a duration of two years, you will be granted it until the end of that program.
All of this means that they won't have to renew permits as often; but the reality is that they won't have to renew them as often. Immigration should be doing this for all categories, given the long delays they are having in approving work permits that are generally granted for one year.
Let's remember: there are different categories under which you can get a work permit:
Generally, with all these procedures, if you have them pending you get a work permit, you do not have to wait until you are approved in the case. The U Visa was the only one with which you could not apply for a work permit while it was pending, but now you can.
The key is to talk to your lawyer. If you want a work permit because you need it, I would like to be in communication with you, you can write me so we can plan the benefits you can apply for.
