President Joe Biden recently approved a two-year extension of Deferred Enforced Departure for eligible Hong Kong residents who are currently living in the U.S.
Key Points:
Additional information: The Biden Administration said that the extension was made to offer safety and protection to Hong Kong residents amid a continued “assault on Hong Kong’s autonomy, undermining its remaining democratic processes and institutions, imposing limits on academic freedom, and cracking down on freedom of the press.” More information on DED can be found on this USCIS website.
BAL Analysis: The Department of Homeland Security is expected to issue instructions in the coming days on how eligible foreign nationals may apply for DED and employment authorization documents. BAL will continue to monitor these developments and will provide updates as they become available.
