"Today the American Immigration Lawyers Association alerted its members to the fact that the USCIS has sent to the Office of Management and Budget an interim regulation that would allow the USCIS to issue EADs for a period appropriate to the amount of time needed to adjudicate an adjustment of status application. The interim rule was sent to OMB on March 4th and OMB has 90 days to okay the new policy or reject it. We don’t know yet when the change will go into affect and for how long EADs will be granted and how expiration dates will be determined. Another question many people will obviously want to ask is whether a similar change is in the works for advance parole documents. AILA indicated that it does not have the answer to this question yet."
 
Good thing. Hopefully this will improve the processing time for I-485 . Also, it will surely save some $$$ and time for the resident alien... :D

hope this passes

So that the officers can be assigned to work on 485 approvals rather than EAD's.
 
They should let 485 receipt notices serve as employment authorization and travel document. :) To recuperate their loss from EAD and AP, they can charge higher for 485 filing fees. What do you guys think?

I totall agree with you. In that way we do not have to wait so long at least to visit our home country. I do not mind paying more for 485 if they do that.
