I-9 Flexibility Due to EAD Delays
USCIS announced on August 19 that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the production of 75,000 Employment Authorization Documents had been delayed.
Therefore, USCIS has allowed applicants to submit an I-797 Approval Notice of form I-765 as a temporary replacement of the EAD as a List C document supporting form I-9.
This rule is only applicable to I-797’s with Notice dates from December 1, 2019, to August 20, 2020. This rule is effective until December 1, 2020.
If the employee submits an I-797 in place of the EAD as a List C document, the employer must reverify the employee by December 1, 2020, when the rule expires. Before that, the employee will need to submit documents from either List A or List C as new employment authorization evidence.
EAD签发延迟，移民局放宽I-9申请文件规定
USCIS在8月19日宣布，由于新冠疫情影响，75000张EAD工卡（工作许可证明，I-766）的签发会被延迟。
因此，I-765申请书的批准通知信（I-797）可以暂时在递交I-9就业资格认证表时做为C种类文件（雇佣授权证明）使用，截止至2020年12月1日有效。
这项规定只适用于2019年12月1日及之后，到2020年8月20日签发的I-797。
如果员工提交I-797，雇主也必须在2020年12月1日规定失效前重新认证这些员工。12月1日前，员工必须向股雇主补交新的A种类或C种类文件。
