The judge expressed frustration over the government’s claim that individuals with pending EADs are not suffering injuries due to the ongoing pause in adjudications. The judge’s inquiry included a direct question about when USCIS plans to lift this pause, to which the USCIS lawyer responded, “I don’t know.” This exchange highlights the uncertainty surrounding EAD processing times and the impact on applicants awaiting their work permits.
Key Details:
