In a major move that will benefit thousands of Indians living in the United States (US), the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reportedly extended the Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) for certain non-citizens. It has increased the maximum validity of EADs to five years for both initial applications and renewals. Reportedly, foreign nationals with pending "Adjustment of Status Applications" will be one of the EAD groups covered by this policy announcement.
