07/30/2004: USCIS Published Rule Removing Limitation for Period for EAD

The USCIS published this desirable rule today. This removes the limitation for the USCIS to issue EAD for one-year validity period. Consequently, the USCIS is allowed to issue EAD for period longer or shorter than the one-year EAD which the immigration community is familiar with. The USCIS determine the validity period of EAD each time a new EAD is applied, or a renewal EAD is applied, or a replacement EAD is applied on the basis of the following standards:
Immigration status of the applicant
General processing time for underlying application or petition
Required background checks and response times for background checks by other agencies
Other security considerations or factors.
Where a political asylum is granted by the immigration court, USCIS will issue the EAD valid upto five (5) years.
This rule is effective today. EAD Rule.
 
Hi Guys,
I am from India, on H1B and applied for I-140/485 Semi-Concurrent and waiting for approval. I am also thinking to apply Canadian Green Card as a backup, as you can get it in 10-12 months. Does any body know:
1. what are the complications if you apply for permanent residency for two countries?
2. is it legal?
3. what happens if both are approved? Can you maintain both?

Please direct me to some links if you have any.
Thanks
J
