Just wanted to share me and my wife's experience in at the Memphis Sub-Office on January 5, 2004. The Memphis office is severely backlogged currently in regards to AOS and EAD applications. We filed the I-765 for my wife on September 10th and hadn't heard anything. After corresponding with our congressional representative, we were told to travel to Memphis (a 350 mile trip) on any Monday to receive an interim EAD. We traveled to Memphis on Sunday to be ready first thing in the morning. Sunday night we decided to check out the office and went to the front door. On the door was a small sign that said : "Effective Immediately, Interim EADs are given out on Friday's only."
Early Monday morning, another couple and us from the same city who had talked to the same representative were in line with us. The other couple called the representative's office and his immigration liaison. She had never heard of the policy change and was appalled that they would make such a major change and not tell anyone. She called the director of the Memphis
office and we, in turn, we processed for our full EAD.
So, needless to say, as of January 5, 2004, though not listed anywhere on the planet except for the front door of the Memphis office... "Effective Immediately, Interim EADs are given out on Friday's only."
