2 Year EAD - Immigration Work Permit

http://www.cundyandmartin.com/

USCIS announced on June 9, 2008, a two year employment authorization document rather than the one year document that is currently used. For more information, see: http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/pr_1213101513448.shtm

The new two-year EAD is only available to individuals who have filed to become a lawful permanent resident (LPR) using a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and filed for employment authorization under Section 274.a.12(c)(9) of Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations (8 C.F.R.) but are unable to become an LPR because an immigrant visa number is not currently available.
