Joint Resolution

A legislative measure that, like a bill, requires approval by both chambers of Congress and the President's signature to become law. It's often used for specific, temporary, or unusual matters.

Congressional Disapproval

A process by which Congress can overturn a rule issued by a federal agency, often under the Congressional Review Act. If a joint resolution of disapproval passes both chambers and is signed by the President (or if Congress overrides a veto), the agency rule does not take effect or ceases to have effect.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

A federal agency within the Department of Homeland Security that administers the country's immigration and naturalization system, including processing visa petitions, asylum applications, and work permits.

Employment Authorization Document (EAD)

A card issued by USCIS to certain non-citizens, granting them permission to work legally in the United States for a specific period. It is often referred to as a "work permit."

Automatic Extension

A provision that allows an existing Employment Authorization Document (work permit) to remain valid beyond its expiration date for a certain period, usually while a timely filed renewal application is being processed.

Interim Final Rule

A type of federal agency rule that becomes effective immediately upon publication in the Federal Register, without a prior period for public comments. The public can comment on it after it's published, and the agency may then revise it.
