The I-140 EAD (Employment Authorization Document) Proposed Rule
In the Spring of 2015, the Department of Homeland Security under Regulatory Agenda proposed a rule under Employment-Based Immigration Modernization to change the existing I-140 employment based approval to grant a work authorization for those who are endlessly waiting for a permanent residence. This follows the November 2014, President Obama’s announcement to change the law. This rule is being proposed just like the H4 EAD was initiated and is still at the proposed rule stage. It has to take its course before it becomes law. If it goes through, this rule might actually help thousands who are at the mercy of the Visa Bulletin especially those who are born in India and who are under EB3 category. The rule will also prevent employers from revoking the approved form I-140 of those awaiting for their dates to be current. We hope it will pass muster and ultimately becomes law. In the meantime, we suggest helping us change the waiting time of those on EB2 and EB3 by signing the petition attached.
