USCIS Issuing Updated I-797C for Certain Operation Allies Welcome Parolees

During Operation Allies Welcome, many Afghans who arrived as part of the evacuation efforts were paroled into the United States. Many applied for and received Form I-766, Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). Certain EADs with a validity period of less than 2 years are now being automatically extended to align with the parole period shown on the beneficiary's Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record.  Affected beneficiaries will receive an I-797C, Notice of Action, indicating that DHS is extending that individual's EAD to align with the parole period shown on their Form I-94. For more information about Form I-94, see the Form I-94 Website.
