If you are a healthcare worker who has
a pending Employment Authorization Document (EAD) renewal application (Form
I-765, Application for Employment Authorization) and your EAD expires in 30
days or less or has already expired, you can request expedited processing of
your EAD application.
According to the DHS advisory memo, healthcare
workers here not only refer to staffs working in the hospital environment but also
include home health providers (e.g., nursing, respiratory therapists, health
aides) who need to go into the homes of individuals with chronic, complex
conditions and/or disabilities to deliver nursing and/or daily living care and
home care workers (e.g., home health care, at-home hospice, home dialysis, home
infusion, etc.).
The applicant should
provide evidence of his/her profession or current employment as a healthcare
worker. If the evidence the applicant provides is not sufficient, USCIS may not
accommodate the request for expedited processing of Form I-765. Expedited
processing means only that USCIS will process the application faster. It does not guarantee approval.
To request expedited
processing, the applicant can call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283 or make the request through their attorneys.
