Changes to the Employment Authorization Document, a List A Document
February 15th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
On February 11, 2011, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that they will start issuing a document that combines the Employment Authorization card and Advance Parole document. The new card will look similar to the current Employment Authorization Document, but will also include text that reads, “Serves as I-512 Advance Parole.” USCIS issued a statement that said, “Employers may accept the new card as a List A document when completing the Employment Eligibility Verification, Form I-9.”
Employers should accept the new Employment Authorization cards as a List A document and should also continue to accept Employment Authorization cards (Form I-766) on the I-9 form. For more information about the EAD and Advance Parole card, see the related Questions and Answers.
