Truescreen has recently been informed that USCIS is now issuing Forms I-797C to Afghan nationals whose parole status - and EAD - is about to expire. This document, which is part of a larger "re-parole" process that allows certain Afghan nationals to remain in the United States past the "Admit Until" date on the Form I-94, will read:
- Notice Type: Additional Action
- Class: C11
- Valid Until: MM/DD/YYYY.
See below for an example of this Form I-797C:
An individual seeking to extend the validity of their Employment Authorization Document (EAD or Form I-766) must present the EAD and this Form I-797C together, and persons completing Form I-9 must examine both. The "Valid Until" date listed on Form I-797C will become the EAD's new expiration date.
Certain Afghan and Ukrainian nationals are work authorized incident to their status in the country and may use Form I-94 to evince work authorization for an initial ninety-day period. For more, click here.
