USCIS is inviting public comments on proposed updates to Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and its instructions. The agency is considering changes aimed at reducing the application burden through technology and internal processes. USCIS is also seeking feedback on using smartphone apps for passport-style photo submissions and other emerging technologies. Additionally, USCIS is exploring alternative methods to apply for employment authorization without a separate Form I-765 and the potential for applicants to consent to sharing information with the Social Security Administration to facilitate Social Security Number issuance.
