And we are always waiting for approval dates to move on.

Nancy Stephenson, a former employee of the Immigration and Naturalization Service’s California Service Center in Laguna Niguel, CA, pleaded guilty last week to accepting thousands of dollars in bribes for issuing work permits she was not authorized to approve. Although Stephenson was authorized to adjudicate employment–based immigration petitions, she was not authorized to approve applications for work permits. The prosecuting attorneys have said that she charged at least 99 applicants up to $4,000 each to mark their applications with a coded INS stamp indicating approval, along with having made false entries in INS computer records supporting the fraudulent approvals.



Stevenson faces up to 25 years in federal prison on charges of bribery and issuing work permits fraudulently when she is sentenced August 12, 2004.

I just hope they donot go back to reviewing all cases, may be only the cases that she approved.

Sounds to me if they are quoting a number of persons she took money from that they already have a clear idea of who they are - so I dont think we sould worry about this.

Obviously if she is entering her plea, the case is atleast a few months if not years old. I am sure whatever review had to be made was made already. And it should effect EAD's not 485's other than the fact that we are short one approval officer.

Interestingly, that should tell you why the approval process is so slow, the bloody approving officers are trying to make money on the side approving EAD's!
