03/25/2004 IMMIGRATION ALERT
EAD's TO BE VALID LONGER

 

A report has surfaced that the CIS has filed an interim regulation that would allow it to issue "duration of adjustment" Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) . The duration of adjustment EADs would be valid as long as an Applicant has an I-485, Adjustment of Status pending with CIS. Apparently the regulation has cleared the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and has been sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. OMB generally has 90 days to review a regulation and either reject it or clear it for publication in the Federal Register. Shortly thereafter the regulation is effective. Unfortunately, the rule does not appear to address Advance Paroles.
