As we mentioned in an earlier post, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a redesign to the Permanent Resident Card (also known as the Green Card) and the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) as part of the Next Generation Secure Identification Document Project. USCIS began issuing new cards on May 1, 2017. For more information on the changes and additional information for both employers and employees, USCIS has provided a brief overview entitled “Redesigned Permanent Resident Card and Employment Authorization Document.”
