Written By Iandoli Desai & Cronin

It is being reported that due to ongoing litigation (Edakunni et al v. Mayorkas, 2:21-cv-00393-RAJ (W.D. Wash.)) U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will be suspending biometrics on some EAD applications for the next 2 years …. We are waiting for a formal announcement from USCIS and will keep you posted as developments occur and how this affects any cases in process and to be filed.
