Foreign nationals have not been receiving their Employment Authorization ID cards (called "EADs") because USCIS is having an issue with one of the contractors that creates those cards. Accordingly, USCIS is allowing employers to accept the letter of approval as proof of an employee's employment eligibility to work in USA. Normally, that letter, ipso facto, is not an acceptable I-9 document. There is one important caveat: the foreign national must present both the USCIS EAD approval notice (treated as an I-9 "List C" document along with a valid I-9 "List B" document which proves identity. All of the "List B" documents are set forth below). Read USCIS's announcement: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-verification-during-ead-production-delays-due-to-covid-19.
