Thousands of EAD and Green Card documents are not Printed by USCIS

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently confirmed that some 50,000 green cards and 75,000 other employment authorization documents (EAD) promised to immigrants have not been produced/printed.  A class action lawsuit has been recently filed with regard to failure to print/produce the EAD cards however there is no current ongoing litigation regarding non-production of green cards. The primary reason cited for non production of these documents is the budgetary constraint.
