A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services relating to "Removal of the Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documents".

# Plain Language Summary **What This Bill Would Do** This bill seeks to block a rule issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that would eliminate the automatic extension of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). Currently, when certain immigrants' work permits are about to expire, they can continue working while their renewal applications are being processed. The USCIS rule would remove this automatic extension feature.

If this resolution passes, it would overturn that rule and keep the automatic extension in place. **Who It Affects** The change would primarily affect immigrants who are applying to renew their work permits—including asylum seekers, refugees, and others in various immigration processes. Without automatic extension, these individuals could face gaps in their legal authorization to work if their renewal applications aren't processed before their current permits expire, potentially forcing them out of the job market temporarily. **Current Status** The resolution is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by Congress. It was introduced by Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) in the 119th Congress.
