Can I still work after my Employment Authorization has expired that was originally obtained through a Differed App. In 2011 ?

Asked in Hollywood, FL - 4 months

I was granted differed action in 2011. My current employment authorization expires in a few weeks. I applied to renew it back on November 2012 and application is still pending. Can I continue working after my current one expires? If so, What section of the law says this? so that i can show it to my current employer.

Answered 4 months ago. No ... once it expires you are no longer authorized to work ... until the new one arrives.

You may need to take a short leave of absence if it doesn't arrive.

For the most part CIS is pretty good about printing/mailing them 90-100 days from the date you 'properly' filed (ie: no RFEs).
