在更广泛的移民执法行动中，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的移民执法行动进一步发展，国土安全部（DHS）于周二（当地时间）宣布了一项监管措施，取消了移民在工作授权到期后仍可继续就业的延长期限，而其续期申请正在审查中。新DHS规则终止自动工作授权延期根据彭博社法律频道（Bloomberg Law）的报道，该法规永久终止了此前允许符合条件的移民在许可证续期申请审查期间继续在国内就业的自动540天延期。
In a further development concerning immigrants during the broader immigration enforcement initiatives undertaken by US President Donald Trump, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Tuesday (local time) a regulatory measure that eliminates an extended period allowing immigrants to maintain employment following the expiration of their work authorization while their renewal petitions were under review. New DHS rule ends automatic work authorization extensionsAccording to Bloomberg Law, the regulation permanently terminates the automatic 540-day extension period that had permitted qualified immigrants to maintain employment in the nation while their permit renewal applications were under review.
该延期政策是在前总统乔·拜登任期内设立的，去年曾被国土安全部暂时性地暂停。谁将受到影响？此举可能影响在美国工作的外籍劳工，包括印度专业人士以及依赖工作授权文件维持就业状态的H-1B签证持有人的配偶。该宽限期原本旨在保护因美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）处理延误而面临就业终止风险的移民工人。
This extension, which was established during the tenure of former President Joe Biden, was previously suspended on a temporary basis by the DHS last year. Who will be impacted? The new move could have implications for foreign workers employed in the US, including Indian professionals and the spouses of H-1B visa recipients who rely upon work authorization documentation to sustain their employment status. The grace period was set up to offer protection to immigrant workers who faced the risk of employment termination resulting from processing delays at the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
然而，在特朗普政府期间，该机构实施了增加移民维持或延长工作许可难度的措施。申请人需要了解什么？自2025年10月30日起，更新后的政策取消了在此日期或之后提交的续期申请的自动延期。
However, during the Trump administration, the agency implemented measures that increased the difficulty for immigrants to maintain or extend their work permits. What applicants need to know? Effective October 30, 2025, the updated policy eliminates automatic extensions for renewal applications submitted on or after that date.
申请人必须在获得续签就业授权批准后，才能在当前文件到期后继续工作。美国国土安全部表示，此项政策修改旨在加强背景核查、安全评估以及在授予就业授权延期前的资格审查。
Applicants are required to await approval of their renewed employment authorization before they may continue working past the expiration of their current documents. The DHS states that this policy modification aims to enhance background verification, security assessments, and eligibility determinations before granting employment authorization extensions.
对印度人以及 H‑4 签证和 H‑1B 签证持有人的影响说明该规则可能影响多类依赖就业授权文件（EAD）在美国合法工作的外国人，包括正在办理身份调整的特定申请人、符合条件的庇护申请人以及 H‑4 签证受益人，尤其是 H‑1B 签证持有人的配偶，他们有资格获得工作授权。
Impact on Indians and H-4 visa and H-1B visa holders explainedThe rule may impact multiple categories of foreign nationals who depend on Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) to work lawfully within the United States.
印度专业人士及其家属如果在美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）处理其续签请求之前，其现有工作许可失效，可能会面临困难。H‑4 EAD 受益人尤其可能在其授权失效、续签申请仍在审理期间出现临时的就业中断。USCIS 建议申请人立即提交 EAD 续签申请此项修改强调及时提交续签申请并认真跟踪申请处理进度的重要性。USCIS 建议申请人尽早提交 EAD 续签申请，通常应在当前文件到期日前 180 天内提交。员工应与雇主保持沟通，并监控申请状态，以最大限度降低工作授权失效的可能性。
This encompasses specific candidates pursuing immigration status adjustment, qualified asylum seekers, and H-4 visa beneficiaries, particularly spouses of H-1B visa holders who are eligible for work authorization. Indian professionals and their dependents could encounter challenges if their current work permits lapse prior to USCIS processing their renewal requests. H-4 EAD beneficiaries, notably, may experience temporary employment interruptions if their authorization lapses while their renewal application remains under review.USCIS advises applicants to file EAD renewal applications immediatelyThis modification underscores the significance of submitting timely renewal applications and diligently tracking application processing schedules. USCIS has suggested applicants to submit their EAD renewal applications as early as possible, typically within 180 days prior to their current documents' expiration date. Employees should maintain communication with their employers and monitor their application status to minimize the likelihood of work authorization lapses.
值得注意的是，该条例保留了此前指南下对符合条件的、在 2025 年 10 月 30 日之前提交的申请所批准的自动延期。通过法定规定或针对临时保护身份（TPS）的专项通知授予的其他延期仍将继续有效。
Notably, this regulation preserves automatic extensions that were previously approved under former guidelines for qualifying applications submitted before October 30, 2025. Additional extensions granted through statutory provisions or targeted notices related to Temporary Protected Status (TPS) may continue to remain in effect.
