US | USCIS Revises EAD and Asylum Forms

The USCIS has released revised editions of Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal.

Effective November 7, 2022, USCIS will only accept the 07/26/22 editions of Form I-589 and Form I-765. Before then, applicants can submit the new edition or the previous editions of Form I-589 (dated 08/25/20) and Form I-765 (dated 05/31/22 and 08/25/20). The edition date is found at the bottom of the page on the form and its accompanying instructions. Please be mindful, however, that the previous editions contain various instructions that have been rendered obsolete in light of the Asylumworks ruling.
