国土安全部10月14日发布最终规则取消工作许可自动延期：截至6月30日逾43.2万件续期申请待决逾六个月，其中逾9.1万件逾18个月
华盛顿消息 — 美国国土安全部 10 月 14 日在《联邦公报》发布最终规则，题为「取消部分就业授权文件的自动延期」（Removal of Automatic Extensions for Certain Employment Authorization Documents，91 FR 65306），把此前临时实施的取消自动延期安排定为正式规则。
按原有安排，部分类别工作许可（EAD）持有人在到期前提交续期申请后，原许可可自动延长一段期间等待审批；最终规则实施后，合资格类别之外的续期申请人不再享有自动延期，许可到期而新证未批出时，其就业授权即告中断。
据汇总该规则的移民法律资讯机构披露的移民局数据，截至 2026 年 6 月 30 日，移民局有超过 43.2 万件工作许可续期申请待决已逾六个月，其中超过 9.1 万件待决逾 18 个月。该机构的 2026 年 11 月移民简报把这项最终规则列为 10 月生效的主要移民政策变化之一，与同日公布的另一项拟议规则并列；拟议规则涉及移民局在延期申请中是否沿用先前批准结果，公众意见期至 11 月 13 日。
DHS Final Rule of October 14 Ends Automatic Extensions for Certain Work Permits: More Than 432,000 Renewals Had Been Pending Over Six Months as of June 30, Including 91,000 Over 18 Months
Washington — On October 14, 2026, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security published a final rule in the Federal Register titled Removal of Automatic Extensions for Certain Employment Authorization Documents (91 FR 65306), making permanent the end of automatic extensions that had previously been in place on a temporary basis.
Under the prior arrangement, holders of certain categories of employment authorization documents who filed a timely renewal could keep working under an automatic extension while the renewal was pending. Under the final rule, renewal applicants outside the covered categories no longer receive an automatic extension, so authorization lapses if the prior document expires before the new one is approved.
According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services figures cited in a November 2026 immigration bulletin summarizing the rule, more than 432,000 EAD renewals had been pending for at least six months as of June 30, 2026, including more than 91,000 pending for over 18 months. The same bulletin lists the final rule among the principal October immigration changes, alongside a proposed rule published the same day on whether USCIS would continue to defer to prior approvals on extension requests, with public comments due November 13, 2026.
