Firmly sorry, I'm late. Please, I see and I got stuck with four calls from clients back-to-back asking me how long it would take to get their employment authorization cards. Employment authorization cards, employment authorization cards, employment authorization card, working permit, but Mesa at Ajo allow the qualifying alien to legally work in the United States. Once an alien has employment authorization, they can apply for a Social Security number, a driver's license, or a Costco card. Why do these calls upset you? So, the Department of Homeland Security, the government agency that issues these work permits, claims that it takes 30 days to process these cards in most cases. However, for asylum applicants, they can take 90 days, and it's outdated information. The processing times for these work permits can take anywhere from 30 to 150 days, sometimes even longer. The Department of Homeland Security is requesting additional evidence, such as passport pictures or proof of eligibility. I see, what do I get the feeling you're not even listening to me? No, Department of Homeland Security issues work permits, also known as employment authorization cards, also known as EADs for short. They claim to process it within 30 days or 90 if there are more some cases pending. However, in reality, it can take anywhere between 30 days to 150 days, maybe even more if the application was incomplete. Okay, Dr. Melfi, no one likes a know-it-all. What are you going to send my release papers so I can be done with? Soon as they get the employment authorization. Look, power buttons that are getting stressed with the phone calls. You try understanding the clients. It's not easy putting one's trust in the person, and it's even scarier when they may not know how the system works. Try empathizing...
