I am not sure if this is still "news", but here is what I got from my lawyer.
===============
Please be advised that as of today, due to newly implemented national procedures, the Boston INS office will not be able to issue employment authorization and advance parole in one day.
Processing of employment authorization and advance parole may now take up to 30 days at the Boston INS office. We are awaiting further details from INS as to the exact changes in procedures. We will inform you as soon as our office receives any information from INS.
If there are any employees that require employment authorization or advance parole immediately, please have them contact our office to personally speak with an attorney regarding their situation.
