Filing Procedures for Employment
Authorization and Automatic
Extension of Existing Employment
Authorization Documents for Liberians
Provided Deferred Enforced Departure
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
On August 16, 2011,
President Obama issued a memorandum
to the Secretary of Homeland Security
Janet Napolitano directing her to extend
for an additional 18 months the deferred
enforced departure (DED) of certain
Liberians and to provide for work
authorization during that period. The
DED extension runs from September 30,
2011, through March 31, 2013. This
notice provides instructions for eligible
Liberians on how to apply for the full
18-month extension of employment
authorization. Finally, this notice
provides instructions for DED-eligible
Liberians on how to apply for

permission to travel outside the United
States during the 18-month DED period.
USCIS will issue new employment
authorization documents (EADs) with a
March 31, 2013 expiration date to
Liberians whose DED has been extended
under the presidential memorandum
and who apply for EADs under this
extension. Given the timeframes
involved with processing EAD
applications, DHS recognizes that all
DED-eligible Liberians may not receive
new EADs until after their current EADs
expire on September 30, 2011.
Accordingly, this Notice automatically
extends the validity of DED-related
EADs that have an expiration date of
September 30, 2011, for 6 months,
through March 31, 2012, and explains
how Liberians covered under DED and
their employers may determine which
EADs are automatically extended and
their impact on Form I–9 and E-Verify
processes.
DATES: This notice is effective October
1, 2011. The 6-month automatic
extension of employment authorization
for Liberians who are eligible for DED,
including the extension of their EADs as
specified in this notice, is effective on
October 1, 2011. This automatic
extension will expire on March 31,
2012. The 18-month extension of DED is
valid through March 31, 2013.
