Chapter 12: Employment Authorization
A. General Information }

Category

The eligibility category for employment authorization based on a grant of
deferred action is 8 C.F.R. § 274a 12(c)( l4). To distinguish DA CA-related
EADs from other deferred action EADs, the (c)(33) code will be used.

Evidenliary

.
.
For a (c)(33) EAD, the individual must be approved for DACA.

(c}(JJ)
Eligibility

Requirements

The infonnation needed to assess economic necessity is collected on the Form
I-765WS. This worksheet should have been reviewed during the adjudication
of Form 1-821 D. '
Before proceeding with the adjudication of the Form 1-765, review C3 to
ensure that there is rio outstanding RFE, as the RFE would have been issued
during the adjudicat'.on of Fonn 1-821 D.
Validity Period

of (c)(JJ) EAD

8C.F.R.
§ 274a.13(d} -

90DayTime
Period to Issue
anEAD

The "valid from" date is the date of approval and the "valid to" date is 2 years
minus one day from the date of approval or to the end date of the deferred
removal date under DACA, whichever is earlier.

Pursuant to 8 C.F.R:_ 274.12(c)(14), the EA D is predicated on a grant of
§
deferred action. Since Fonns I-8210 and 1-765 are filed concurrently for
DACA, Form 1-8210 will be adjudicated first. If Form 1-821Dis approved,
then Form I-765 would be approved under the (c)(33) code to distinguish the
DACA related EADs from other deferred action EA Os. Since approval of the
Fonn 1-821Dis a prerequisite, and since the EAD is based upon a grant of
DACA, the 90-day EAD clock begins after Fonn 1-821D is approved for
DACA.

A. General Information, Continued

Reasons for
Filing

The DACA requesto'r should indicate one of the following reasons for tiling:
• Pennission to 11ccept employment: 111e initial request for employment
authorization under an eligibility category; or .
• Replacement (of lost or stolen employment authorization document): A
requ·est to replace a lost, stolen, mutilated, or incorrect EAD.
If neither of these boxes is checked, verify the Form I-821 D approval in C3 to
ensure that removal has been deferred under DACA and then check the Form
1-765 history in C3 t9 see if a prior EAD has been issued under the (cX33)
eligibility category. If yes, process the Form I-765 EAD as a replac=ent. If
no, process the Form I-765 EAD as an initial EAD. If a prior replacement
EAD under the (c)(33) eligibility category has been issued, refer the ca~e to

Chapter 13: Use of Service Request
Management Tool {SRMT) to
Respond to Request to Review Certain Denials
Introduction

USCIS will accept SRMTs from DACA denials based oo a claim that the
denial is incorrect and the denial is based on an administrative
error. Specifically, USCIS will accept SRMTs where the requestor believes
that USCIS incorrectly denied his/her DACA request for one or more of the
rea~ons listed io this chapter of the DACA SOP.

lliuory Action
Codes (RAC)

When r~lJonding to a request to review a denied DACA request, C3 must be
updated wich the appropriate History Action Code (HAC) created to track the
specific action taken and to denote that the SRMT involved a denied DACA
request The following HACs will be used:

Templates

When providing an interim response to review a denied DACA request,
standard response tcmpla!cs must be used for the interim response and when
the denial is aftinncd. Whe1nbe denied DACA request is approved on
Service Motion, the standard approval notice will be generared from C3.
Appendix G contnin~ the following templates:
• DACA SRMT call-ups for interim SRMT responses.
• DACA SRMT call-ups to respond tbar the denial was correct and is
