As described in the Federal Register notice, eligible Lebanese nationals may apply for an EAD by filing Form I-765, Application for Work Authorization. USCIS evaluates each EAD application on a case-by-case basis to determine whether an applicant meets all eligibility standards and criteria. More information about DED-based EADs is available on the USCIS website.

DHS is also issuing a Special Student Relief Notice for non-immigrant F-1 students whose country of citizenship is Lebanon, or for non-citizens who have habitually resided in Lebanon, so that eligible students can apply for authorization work, work an increased number of hours while school is in session and reduce their course load while continuing to maintain F-1 status during the DED designation period.

In total, approximately 11,000 Lebanese nationals will likely be eligible for DED and TPS as a result of these actions. There are also approximately 1,740 F-1 nonimmigrant students from Lebanon in the United States who may be eligible for Special Student Aid.
