DED for Certain Hong Kong Residents Extended and Expanded, EADs Extended through Feb. 5, 2025
May 04, 2023
President Biden issued a memorandum extending and expanding eligibility for Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for certain Hong Kong residents. The president also directed the secretary of homeland security to provide eligible Hong Kong residents continued employment authorization through Feb. 5, 2025. Eligible Hong Kong residents are employment authorized incident to DED. In addition, USCIS has automatically extended through Feb. 5, 2025, the validity of DED-related Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) with a Card Expires date of Feb. 5, 2023, and a Category of A-11.  SAVE can verify DED and this employment authorization extension using information from the benefit applicant's EAD or other immigration documentation, even if it is expired on its face. In some instances, the benefit-granting agency may need to institute additional verification.

USCIS Redesigns Permanent Resident Cards and Employment Authorization Documents
February 23, 2023
On Jan. 30, USCIS announced new designs for tamper-resistant Form I-551, Permanent Resident Cards (also known as Green Cards), and Form I-766, Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). USCIS began issuing the redesigned cards on Jan. 30, 2023. Some Permanent Resident Cards and EADs issued after Jan. 30, 2023, may still display the previous design format. The introduction of new card designs does not mean that previously issued cards are invalid. Cards remain valid until their expiration date (unless otherwise noted, such as through an automatic extension of the validity period of the Permanent Resident Card or EAD as indicated on a Form I-797, Notice of Action, or in a Federal Register notice). Also, some older Permanent Resident Cards do not have an expiration date. These older Permanent Resident Cards without an expiration date remain valid.

For this reason, certain Hong Kong residents are employment authorized incident to DED. In addition, USCIS has automatically extended through Feb. 5, 2025, DED-related Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) with a Card Expires date of Feb. 5, 2023.
