As announced earlier, USCIS confirmed delays in printing and shipping EAD cards. On August 19, 2020, USCIS posted an update: “Employees may present their Form I-797 Notice of Action showing approval of their I-765 application as a list C document for Form I-9 compliance until December 1, 2020.” Read more details here: Form I-9 Verification During EAD Production Delays Due to COVID-19.

ISAP will continue to notify students as soon as their EAD cards are received.
