The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) is currently considering whether to file a class action lawsuit addressing failures to issue Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) in a timely manner. The suit would address those cases for which EADs have not been issued within 90 days and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has failed to provide interim EAD cards.
The need for action in this area is the result of the elimination of the interim EAD cards, despite regulations to the contrary. This change was reported to MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers in our June 30, 2006 article, June 2006 Conference Update : Interim EADs to End.
AILF has posted a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document on its website. Those who believe they may qualify as plaintiffs in the potential lawsuit and who wish to explore this option should fill out AILF's questionnaire.
We at the Murthy Law Firm recommend contacting a qualified, knowledgeable immigration attorney for answers to your questions about whether you qualify for the lawsuit and to discuss the case. The goal is always to discuss and negotiate matters with the government. The strength of a democracy lies in dialogue and open communication. When a federal agency violates its own regulations, however, it is sometimes necessary to resort to litigation. In this case, the violation of law deprives people of the right and ability to work legally in the United States.
