hey 180daysguy - how'z it going? hope all is well.
Hey, I got Attorney Murthy's bulletin today which has the first line item as INS has asked Regional offices to stop processing same day EAD and AP....
did you hear anything on this?
and I quote....
"...1. Most Same-Day EADs and Advance Paroles End
The INS has issued a memorandum directing all INS offices to stop same day issuance of benefits when there is a temporary "A" file. The "A" file is the official INS file, which should include all the information available on an applicant. The INS sometimes creates temporary "A" files, when the permanent file is with another office or in other similar situations. The procedures for temporary files are discussed below. Even where the regular "A" file is available, the memo requires elaborate procedures that will result in delays in the process. The memo has not been released, but the American Immigration Lawyers Association has compiled a summary, based upon reports from INS spokespeople. As a result of the memo, all INS offices that previously issued Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) and/or Advance Paroles (APs) on a one-day or walk-in basis will no longer do so.
