On December 4, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a significant change to work permit eligibility for immigrants. The maximum duration for work permits has been reduced from five years to 18 months.
This decision alters the previous policy that allowed immigrants to hold work permits for a longer period. The change is part of ongoing adjustments to immigration policies by the DHS.
