USCIS has begun using a streamlined process for new refugees admitted into the United States! They have automated the Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) process, so they can start working in this country in around 30 days, instead of months. The USCIS News Alert states, “All individuals admitted into the United States as refugees on or after Dec. 10, 2023, will receive EADs pursuant to this new process.”
