Abstract
On August 5, 2021, President Joseph Biden issued a memorandum to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) directing the Secretary to take appropriate measures to defer for 18 months, through February 5, 2023, the removal of certain Hong Kong residents present in the United States. This Notice provides information about Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for certain eligible Hong Kong residents and provides information on how eligible individuals may apply for DED-related Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) with USCIS. For the purposes of this Notice, a Hong Kong resident is defined as an individual of any nationality, or without nationality, who has met the requirements for, and been granted, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Passport, a British National Overseas Passport, a British Overseas Citizen Passport, a Hong Kong Permanent Identity card, or a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Document of Identity for Visa Purposes.
