Work Permits For Hundreds of Thousands of Immigrants Are Extended
The federal government on Tuesday extended temporary work authorization for a broad array of immigrants who are awaiting their final immigration papers.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency in charge of work permits, permanent residency and naturalizations, granted an automatic 540-day extension of work authorization to immigrants awaiting their papers.
The new extension is an expansion of a 180-day extension USCIS had announced in November.
