New I-765 Work Authorization Application – Deadline for Using Old Edition is Announced
On April 24, 2008, the USCIS announced that it is modifying Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, to include additional eligibility codes so that the application is consistent with the DHS new rule for extending OPT status for certain qualified F-1 students. A deadline for using the old edition has been announced. Here is the announcement.
For all I-765 applicants, the USCIS will accept the July 30, 2007 edition of the form only through July 8, 2008.
Starting July 9, 2008, however, the USCIS will only accept the new, revised Form I-765 which has an edition date of April 8, 2008.
Here is my prior entry providing the detail on the new eligibility codes.
