Stress-Free EAD Application Services
An Employment Authorization Document (EAD), also known as a work permit, is a crucial document issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows foreign nationals to legally work in the United States for a specified period. If you are a non-citizen without permanent resident status or a specific work visa, an EAD is essential for securing employment and building your career in the U.S.
Eligibility for an EAD extends to various categories of individuals, including asylees, refugees, certain foreign students, family-based nonimmigrants, employment-based nonimmigrants, and those who have applied for adjustment of status. Whether you need to renew your existing EAD, replace a lost or damaged one, or obtain an interim EAD while awaiting a final decision on your initial application, our experienced attorneys at Immigration Law, PLLC are here to help.
The EAD application process can be complex and daunting, requiring the submission of Form I-765, supporting documents such as proof of identity and immigration status, and potentially a biometrics appointment. Given the importance of proper documentation and the challenges that may arise during the process, consulting with an experienced immigration attorney is highly recommended.
At Immigration Law, PLLC, our knowledgeable attorneys simplify the complex EAD application process, providing you with personalized guidance and support every step of the way. We will:
Assess your eligibility and help you understand the best path forward
Assist in gathering necessary documents and accurately completing Form I-765
Ensure all supporting evidence is included and filed correctly
Prepare you for potential biometrics appointments
Address any issues that may arise during the process
Help you request an interim EAD if USCIS delays your application processing
