US Ends Automatic Work Permit Extensions for Foreigners 🚫 | What It Means for Visa Holders

The US has scrapped automatic extensions for Employment Authorisation Documents (EAD), affecting thousands of foreign workers and spouses of visa holders, including H-1B, L, and E categories. Effective after 30 October 2025, renewals must now go through full vetting without interim extensions. The move follows a sharp rise in H-1B visa fees and reflects the administration's stricter immigration stance. The decision could significantly impact Indian professionals and families in the US.
