2-Year EAD Update
June 16th, 2008 | Category: News
USCIS has released more information about the scope of the new rule which allows USCIS to issue 2-year EADs.
The rule becomes effective on June 30, 2008 and after this date, USCIS will issue 2-year EADs only to individuals who have filed petitions to become a lawful permanent resident (LPR) using Form I-485 and have requested an EAD but are unable to become LPR because a visa number is not currently available. Upon renewal of EAD, USCIS will look at the visa bulletin and issue a 2-year replacement EAD only if a visa number is not currently available for the petitioner.
On the other hand, applicants who have filed I-485 and EAD applications and for whom there is a visa number immediately available would get only 1-year EAD document. Applicants whose visa numbers have retrogressed since their I-485 was filed would get 2-year EADs.
