Did the new EAD rule leave you a work-authorization gap?

On October 30, 2025, a DHS rule (90 FR 48799) ended the automatic extension of your EAD while a renewal is pending — for renewals filed on or after that date. For an affected filer, work authorization now ends on the printed expiration date, with no grace period. This calculator shows your earliest file date, whether an auto-extension still applies to you, your I-9 reverification date, and any projected gap.

Projected decision date (optional)

Confirm current USCIS processing times and the rule’s litigation posture, and review category-specific questions with an immigration attorney.
