This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval over an interim final rule issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The specific rule in question is titled "Removal of the Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documents," and it was published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2025. Under the provisions of chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, this resolution declares that Congress disapproves of the aforementioned USCIS rule. Consequently, if this resolution is adopted by both chambers and enacted, the USCIS rule would be rendered without any legal force or effect. The primary impact of this resolution would be to prevent the removal of the automatic extension for Employment Authorization Documents , ensuring that the current practice of automatic extensions for these critical documents continues.
