If you let your DACA status expire past the one-year grace period, you will not be able to renew your DACA at this time. Advance Parole (permission to travel abroad) continues to be available for current DACA recipients for educational, employment and humanitarian reasons.
Employees must have one of these qualifying eligibility categories to receive an automatic extension of their employment authorization and/or EAD validity: A03, A05, A07, A08, A10, A17, A18, C08, C09, C10, C16, C20, C22, C24, C26, C31, and A12 or C19.
You should be aware that you can work as long as your EAD card remains valid. In other words, you can work until the expiration date of your DACA status. You can get your EAD card extended if you successfully renew your DACA status.
Also, you must be inside the USA when applying for the EAD, to prevent your I-765 from being considered 'abandoned' by the USCIS, we advise you to remain in the USA until the EAD is issued. You will need the following documents: Completed (paper version) of the Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization.
An EAD issued to a DACA beneficiary will bear category code C33. 2 Certain EADs, depending on the category code, may be extended while a renewal application is pending. 3 Under previous iterations of the program, DACA beneficiaries were not eligible for such extensions, and the new regulation does not change that.
What happened: On January 17th, 2025 the 5th Circuit Court once again ruled against DACA, but kept renewals open–for now. This ruling is part of ongoing, deliberate attacks to undermine immigrant communities, limit opportunities, and enable mass deportation.
Eligible EAD Categories Not all EAD categories are eligible for an automatic extension. DACA recipients c(33) do not benefit from this rule, and STEM c(3)(C) applicants are still only eligible for a 180-day extension.
Regrettably, C33 does not include an auto-extension, so you must wait to get the renewed EAD.

Form I-765 is the physical document. Form I-766 is an EAD card, which you can keep in your wallet. Both Form I-766 and I-765 are valid EADs. You actually use Form I-765 to apply for your Form 1-766 card.
