- The applicant’s EAD eligibility category;
- The receipt date, which is the date USCIS received the EAD renewal application and which employers must use to determine whether the automatic EAD extension applies;
- The notice date, which is the date USCIS reissued the receipt notice; and
- New information about the 180-day EAD extension.
Applicants with an EAD based on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) who filed their EAD renewal applications before January 17, 2017, already received a 6-month extension through the Federal Register notice that extended their country’s TPS designation. Therefore, these applicants will not receive a reissued receipt notice. Please visit the Temporary Protected Status page for current information on each TPS designation. All renewal applicants who file Form I-765 applications on or after January 17, 2017, including TPS renewal applicants, will be receiving Form I-797 receipt notices that contain eligibility category information and information about the 180-day EAD extension.

24 февраля 2017 г USCIS иммиграционная служба США опубликовала пресс релиз для публики о том, что после 16 февраля 2017 они начали высылать новые уведомления I-797 о принятии заявление на продление разрешения на работу, форма I-765. Нет необходимости пугаться и звонить в иммиграционую службу. Это делается потому, что по новым правилам, если вы подали заявление на продление разрешения на работу до истечения срока действия (после 21 июля 2016 и до 16 января 2017), то его автоматически продлили на 180 дней. Вы можете показать это уведомление вашему работодателю, когда вы оформляетесь на работу как доказательство того, что вам разрешено работать в США в течние следующих 180 дней пока вы ждете новое разрешение на работу. Оно имеет такую же юридическую силу как само разрешение на работу.
