Disapproves and nullifies a USCIS rule that removed automatic extensions of EADs, so the prior automatic-extension policy is restored and EAD holders can continue working longer without gaps while awaiting renewal, reducing disruptions to employment of immigrants with pending applications.

Why the model tagged it this way: The joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove and nullify a specific USCIS interim final rule that eliminated automatic extensions of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). By blocking the rule, the bill effectively restores the prior policy allowing automatic extensions, which prevents gaps in work authorization for immigrants with pending renewals. This has the practical effect of reducing enforcement pressure on employment eligibility verification (tied to E-Verify and Form I-9 processes), as it expands the ability of affected noncitizens to maintain legal work.
