A U.S. Work Permit, officially known as the Employment Authorization Document (EAD), allows non-U.S. citizens to work legally in the United States. It is issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) through Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization.
At In N Out Immigration, we assist clients in completing and filing Form I-765 correctly to ensure a timely and successful approval process.
Who Is Eligible to Apply for a Work Permit?
Eligibility for an Employment Authorization Document depends on your immigration status. You may qualify if you are:
- An asylum seeker or refugee.
- A student on an F-1 or M-1 visa with specific work authorization.
- An applicant for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485).
- An individual with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
- A dependent of certain visa holders (such as L-2 or E visa dependents).
- An individual with Deferred Action or DACA approval.
Understanding your eligibility category is essential for completing the application correctly.
Documents Required for Form I-765
When submitting your Form I-765, you must include:
- A copy of your passport biographical page.
- A copy of your most recent I-94 arrival/departure record.
- Two recent passport-style photos.
- Copy of your current immigration status document (if applicable).
- Supporting evidence of your eligibility category (for example, Form I-797 receipt notice).
Submitting accurate and complete documentation helps USCIS verify your eligibility and speeds up processing.
Step-by-Step Process for Filing Form I-765
