The Department of
Homeland Security has drafted a regulation that would
allow the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(CIS) to issue Employment Authorization Documents (EADs)
for longer than one year, as appropriate for the amount
of time needed to complete an adjustment of status (AOS)
application.
Currently, EAD cards
are limited to a maximum of one year, and AOS
applications are taking between 1-3 years depending on
the CIS office processing the application. This
regulation may be published as soon as June 2004. We
will provide updates as soon as they are available. |
