What Is an Employment Authorization Document (EAD)?
An Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is a work permit issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows eligible individuals to work legally in the United States.
This service may be used for either an initial application or a renewal of an existing work permit.
The process involves preparing and submitting Form I-765 along with supporting documentation to USCIS.
Who May Apply?
Common situations include:
• Individuals applying for a work permit for the first time (initial EAD)
• Individuals renewing an existing Employment Authorization Document
• Applicants with certain pending immigration applications or approved statuses that allow them to request work authorization
Initial EAD applications are commonly filed by individuals who have a pending immigration application or have been granted a status that permits them to request work authorization.
Each case is unique and eligibility may depend on several factors, including the applicant’s current immigration status.
If you are unsure whether you are eligible to apply for an initial EAD or renewal, we encourage you to consult with a licensed immigration attorney or contact our office before purchasing this service.
