Proposed Regulation: Tightening Rules for Work Permits
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published a new regulatory proposal to limit work permits for certain classes of aliens who are generally present in the country without lawful immigration status.
This step could affect many immigrants who are currently working in the US without a permit. According to the proposal, some categories of aliens will no longer be eligible for a work permit.
Key changes:
- Limiting work permits for certain categories of aliens
- Tightening rules for obtaining a work permit
- Increasing penalties for violating immigration rules
What it means for immigrants
These changes could have serious consequences for immigrants who are currently working in the US without a permit. If the proposal is adopted, many immigrants may lose their right to obtain a work permit and will be forced to leave the country.
What to do
Immigrants who may be affected by these changes are advised to consult with an immigration attorney to receive guidance and assistance in preparing the necessary documents.
What to do next
- Application for Employment Authorization — Order
- H-1B Work Visa — Order
