Eligibility for Automatic Extension:

You are eligible for an automatic extension of your work authorization if:

- You have timely and properly applied for the renewal of your EAD before it expires.
- Your renewal falls within a category eligible for automatic extension (the USCIS website provides a list of these categories).
- The category listed on your current EAD matches the "Class Requested" on your renewal notice. For Temporary Protected - Status (TPS) beneficiaries or applicants, the categories must be A12 or C19, although they don't have to match exactly.
- Your renewal application is still pending by the time your current EAD expires.

Using the Notice:

If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can present this notice along with your expired EAD (and Form I-94, if necessary) to your employer for employment eligibility verification purposes under Form I-9.

Duration of Extension:

The automatic extension can last up to 180 days from your EAD's expiration date. In your case, this means you could continue to work under this extension until approximately December 27, 2024, provided that your renewal application is still being processed and you meet all other eligibility requirements.

End of Extension:

If your renewal application is denied, the automatic extension ends immediately, and you can no longer use the notice for employment verification purposes.
