Allow filing of I-765 (EAD) and I-131 (AP) upon I-140 approval

Created by Y.T. on October 14, 2015

Allow certain approved Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) beneficiaries to obtain work authorization, clarify the meaning of portable work authorization, and remove unnecessary restrictions on the ability to change jobs or progress in careers, as well as provide relief to workers facing lengthy adjustment delays.
Please review and finalize the rules related to above: 1615-AC05 & 1615-ZB44
It is estimated that more than 100,000+ highly skilled workers waiting in EB2 & EB3 queues with approved immigrant petition and the current estimated timelines to file Form I-485 is anywhere from 10 to 12 years. Providing relief to these workers and their families will clear uncertainties and they can participate in strengthening the economy by way of spending on travel & home buying in USA
