Updated 11/21/2002: Good News for EAD/AP Application in Minnesota INS District Office
* Unconfirmed sources indicate that despite our report yesterday that district offices ceased to process EAD/AP same day, the INS District Office in Minnesota will continue its prior practice of issuing the EAD the same day at least until January 3, 2003. More good news: the sources also indicate that it includes the employment-based EAD applications!!
* It is unclear exactly what transpired yesterday, but the sources indicate that the INS HQ reconsidered its decision and gave a go-ahead based on the theory that the approved EAD/AP can be easily revoked, should the INS find negative evidence. It thus appears that as of today, the INS district offices that used to issue EAD same day may continue to issue the EAD same day at least until January 3, 2003. People may want to contact their INS District Offices to learn the local practice in their jurisdiction as of today.
