Free Webinar on Garcia Perez Settlement Agreement (Asylum EAD Clock)

Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and National Immigration Litigation Alliance, Oct. 2, 2024

"FREE WEBINAR Today, Oct. 2 from 3-4pm Eastern, 2-3pm Central, 12-1 Pacific

On September 26, a U.S. district court approved the settlement agreement in Garcia Perez v. USCIS, a nationwide class action regarding USCIS and EOIR policies preventing asylum seekers from obtaining authorization to work while their asylum claims are pending.

Today, class counsel, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and National Immigration Litigation Alliance, will present a free webinar to provide information about benefits that Garcia-Perez class members will receive under settlement agreement, including who qualifies as a class member and how EOIR and USCIS now must provide individuals with notice of their Asylum EAD Clocks and an opportunity to challenge Asylum EAD Clock determinations. In addition, we will address how the settlement alters Asylum EAD Clock policies related to change of venue motions, cases following BIA or court of appeals remands, and unaccompanied children’s cases.
