    Comments on the New I-765V Form and Instructions (July 26, 2016)

    Comments on the new I-765V Form and Instructions, which will be for work authorization for abused A, E(iii), G and H derivatives pursuant to INA 106. As these protections were initially in VAWA 2005, this process has been a long time coming, but we are one step closer to USCIS finally accepting these applications. The comments were submitted by AILA, Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence (APIGBV), ASISTA Immigration Assistance, CLINIC, National Domestic Workers Alliance and We Belong Together, that were submitted on Tuesday. Special thanks to Grace Huang, Susan Schreiber, Sameera Hafiz and Laura Lynch for their amazing and thoughtful contributions. We will let everyone know when USCIS starts accepting these applications and these forms have been finalized.
