Report from New Orleans): No Noticeable EB-485 Processing Time Change in Sight
The BCIS has adopted a policy of reduction of processing times through the following means:
Acceleration of automation of processing
Reengineering of the process
Priority of processing
When it comes to the priority, it will focus on certain forms which the statute mandates to complete in a fixed period of time such as EAD and Green Card Replacement. With reference to the automation, they have already selected the forms which they will focus in the future. None of the new policy standards fit into the EB-485 applications. The BCIS is considering automation of name check. Once the name check automation is in place, it may help when it comes to processing times, because the name check is causing a tremendous delay. But nothing is solid at this point. It is thus obvious, unfortunately indeed, that EB-485 cases will continue to experience delays and frustrations.

Merger of EAD and Advance Parole Under Consideration
The leaders of the BCIS have been pushing on the idea of issuing multiple-year EAD, but the officials indicate that this idea faces difficulties at this time. Rather, the BCIS is considering abandoning of the current Advance Parole document and allow the people to use EAD card as Advance Parole. That isn't a bad idea, is it?
