What Immigrants Must Know The Trump administration has issued a major change limiting Employment Authorization Document (EAD) validity from five years to only 18 months for refugees, asylees, withholding recipients, and applicants waiting for asylum or adjustment of status. USCIS says the goal is to increase vetting, referencing recent national security incidents to justify the change. The update applies to all applications filed or pending on or after December 5, 2025. In addition, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will cap work authorization at one year for TPS holders and applicants, parolees, and spouses of entrepreneur parole recipients. These limits began applying after July 22, 2025.
