USCIS pays $30,000 for EAD Delayed processing
From 1997, Chowdhury was met with numerous delays in processing interim EAD (Employment Authorization Documents). USCIS explained the delays in EAD to negative information obtained during the background check that delayed the EAD approvals.
Murthy.com reports :
The main problem with delayed EAD is for employee not able to work as employers follow strict visa rules in employing a person on payroll.
This year we applied for two year EAD renewal and my spouse's EAD is renewed for 2 years and my EAD is not yet received. And recently the system got improved very well that EADs are receive in a month's time.

Murthy.com reports :
Since the government could not properly account of the delays, the court found no substantially justified reason for its delay in processing the EAD application and awarded $30,025.80 in attorney's fees to the plaintiff.

EAD 2 years renewal from June 30 2008
Initially the rumors were of three years but Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff in the press release gave sweet EAD news that validity period is now two years :
USCIS will keep continuing 1-year as retrogression date in visa bulletin is close then it makes no sense for two year validities for the applicant as well as to USCIS. As recent July 2008 visa bulletin indicates "Unavailable" for EB3 employment based category. This leaves no chance until October'2008 for USCIS but renew 2-years for all those applicants.
This is good news for applicants who can save some $$ on filings in attorney fees and also the hassle of getting out of status if card is NOT issued on time. Anyway these are all temporary patches and the large issue of unknown Greencard processing times still prevails.
I'm also pleased to announce that we will be extending the validity period of the employment authorization documents that we issue to individuals who are waiting adjustment of status to lawful permit residenture or in colloquial phrase, the green card.
Currently, adjustment applications are granted employment authorization documents with only a one year maximum validity. Beginning later this month, we'll start issuing these documents with a two-year validity period for aliens who are waiting adjustment of status if their application is expected to be pending for more than a year.
This, again, is eliminating a persistent source of frustration for workers who are here, who have a pending adjustment application but have to go and renew their employment documents every single year. It's going to cut the paperwork there.
