The recent decision by US President Donald Trump to reduce work permits for migrants to 18 months, down from the previous five-year duration, also affects asylum seekers, beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), refugees, migrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and other humanitarian categories.

The measure, taken on December 4, is part of an update to the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) program by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and applies to both renewals and new applications.

Trump seeks to strengthen security in the country by conducting more frequent reviews of immigrants’ eligibility.

The federal agency has indicated that “applicants should submit their renewals well in advance to avoid interruptions in employment authorization, although permits issued before December 4 will remain valid until their expiration.”

The tense situation in Venezuela has currently led the government of Peru to increase immigration controls in the face of a possible mass exodus from this country.

According to spokespersons for the Peruvian authorities, the Government had already planned to take preventive measures days before the elections in Venezuela to reinforce land, port and airport immigration controls.

Peruvian Foreign Minister Javier González-Olaechea indicated that they are not able to “accommodate the magnitude of the previous exodus,” and noted that it is estimated that in recent years more than one and a half million Venezuelans have arrived in Peru.

The migration crisis generates an impact on the host countries in terms of legal and logistics, medical assistance, food, among others.
