U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has begun “decoupling” the adjudication of employment authorization documents (EADs) and advance parole (AP) travel authorization in a bid to speed up EAD processing.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: While USCIS typically approves EAD and AP simultaneously, the agency is not obligated to do so. The change in practice appears related to USCIS’ aim to issue EADs more quickly. Applicants who receive an EAD without AP travel authorization should consult their immigration counsel prior to any international travel. BAL will continue following this development and will provide updates as information becomes available.
