Is any guys have further info about 2 years EAD? I am interested to know because I will decide if I still need to renew my H1 or just get a EAD? Thanks.
12/25/2003: Agencies' Plan 2004: I-485 Backlog and Issuance of 2-Year Valid EAD (Series 4)
The BCIS has been considering for quite some time to issue a two-year valid EAD for the I-485 waiters in order to relieve itself from the increasing EAD processing workloads as affected by the growing delay of adjudication of I-485 applications. People must have noticed from the BCIS monthly report of immigration benefits petitions/applications that the EAD processing takes a substantial portion of its workloads which have kept growing because of the delays in processing of underlying I-485 applications. The BCIS may issue this proposed regulation soon with the 60-day comment period. This category will be reserved only for those applying for I-485 adjustment of status, or having filed Form I-485. The rule change would give the BCIS the flexibility to issue EADs for the length of time it anticipates that adjudication of a given case will take.
This is a very welcome move. However, one wonders where is the promise to reduce processing times of applications to six months.
