It has already been talked about for a few years.It's a good news for us to have a two year EAD.
Can any body guess how long it takes for USCIS approve this ?http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/AILA_2Apr08.pdf
Or they can charge twice fee for 2 years EAD for pre July filers. That will keep revenue for USCIS and reduce hassle and stress for applicants.If it ever happens, they will do it only for the people who paid the post-July all-inclusive fee of $1000+ for which they will get EAD and AP renewals for no extra charge. Giving them a multiyear card reduces their workload and saves them money.
But for the people who applied before the July fee change, they have to keep paying every year. USCIS wants the money, so they will make them continue to pay every year for a single-year card.
That would be a sensible thing to do, but in order to do that they'd have to go through the bureaucratic process of getting that double-fee approved (they are already authorized to issue a multiyear card, but not to collect a multiyear fee). So it won't happen until the next round of fee increases a few years from now. And by then, most people will be covered under the all-inclusive fee so they probably won't bother with the double-fee 2-year card.Or they can charge twice fee for 2 years EAD for pre July filers.

Don't tell employers about the specifics of your employment authorization before you have an offer. Unless they are requiring US citizens (which is usually illegal for non-government employers), all you have to say before getting hired is that you are a legal resident with employment authorization and don't need sponsorship. It is generally illegal for them to discriminate based on the expiration date of a renewable EAD, and they are not supposed to inquire about the details of your work authorization (except for a Yes/No of whether you are authorized) until after making an offer. Don't give them that opportunity to discriminate by showing or discussing your soon-to-expire EAD up front.One year card is not attracting atleast 50% of the employers. It sucks!!
They can, but would be less inclined to withdraw the offer after making it, and once having the offer you would be in a better position to explain your situation and the law if they try to back out.1) there are chances they would change their mind after looking at EAD and would tell us some cock and
bull stories.
Yes, but you don't have to give them that information until you're filling out the I-9, and if they're using E-Verify they're supposed to know that they must not disqualify you based on an expiring EAD.2) Using SS# and E-Verify they can find the EAD validity period.
These fee structure was somewhere in interview with USCIS officials when multi-year EAD was first introduced. Don't ask for a link - I'm not going to search for it.That would be a sensible thing to do, but in order to do that they'd have to go through the bureaucratic process of getting that double-fee approved (they are already authorized to issue a multiyear card, but not to collect a multiyear fee).

I'm referring to multiyear EAD for those who didn't pay the all-inclusive $1000+ fee (i.e. the pre-July fiasco filers). For those applicants, there is no double-fee approved for 2 year EADs.These fee structure was somewhere in interview with USCIS officials when multi-year EAD was first introduced.

Yes, I know. It was surprise for me too when I first saw that interview.I'm referring to multiyear EAD for those who didn't pay the all-inclusive $1000+ fee (i.e. the pre-July fiasco filers). For those applicants, there is no double-fee approved for 2 year EADs.
