The United States has announced the end of automatic extensions for Employment Authorisation Documents, a decision that will affect thousands of foreign workers and dependents of visa holders in categories such as H1B, L, and E. Starting after 30 October 2025, all applicants will have to undergo the complete renewal process without receiving temporary approval. This policy comes soon after an increase in H1B visa fees and shows a tougher approach to immigration. The change is expected to cause delays and uncertainty for many Indian professionals and their families living in the US.
