Title: Adjustment of Status, Continued Validity of Nonimmigrant Status, and Unexpired Employment Authorization for Applicants Maintaining Nonimmigrant H or L Status
Abstract: The Department has issued numerous policy statements regarding its position on employment authorization, advance parole, and extension of nonimmigrant status for certain skilled nonimmigrant workers who have filed for adjustment to permanent resident status. This interim final rule codifies existing DHS policy statements by incorporating them into the Department's regulations; and eliminates the requirement for permission for overseas travel for adjustment applicants who are maintaining H-1 or L nonimmigrant status. The Department is publishing a final rule in response to public comments.
