USCIS Issuing Five-Year Advance Parole to Applicants Who May Be Eligible for Five-Year EADs

American Immigration Lawyers Association (“AILA”) members, of whom Enterline and Partners Consulting lawyers are  also members, have reported that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) has begun issuing five-year Advance Parole documents to applicants valid for five years.  This is apparently for individuals who are now eligible for five-year Employment Authorization Documents (“EADs”) under guidance issued by USCIS on September 27, 2023.

The extended validity Advance Parole documents have been issued as both combined on the EAD cards and as a separate Advance Parole documentation, as appropriate.  Although no USCIS guidance has been published, AILA members are confirming that USCIS began issuing these extended validity Advance Parole documents in an apparent effort to reduce the number of times an applicant may need to submit Form I-131.

This is great news for all foreign nationals who are in the U.S. with  valid EAD and Advance Parole documentation to ease their burden while waiting for the USCIS to make a final decision on their applied for status. We appreciate USCIS taking these extra steps to ease the immigration journey.

When Do Sponsor Obligations End Under Form I-864?

For immigrants to the United States, the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support (“Form I-864”), is a critical part of the family-based immigration process. It is a legally enforceable contract in which a sponsor agrees to financially support the intended immigrant, helping ensure that the immigrant does not rely on certain U.S. government benefits after becoming a permanent resident. By signing Form I-864, the sponsor takes on long-term financial responsibility, but this obligation is not indefinite.
