Work Permit in the USA (EAD)
An Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is a special document issued by USCIS that states the specifics of the work you will be doing and the length of time it will be available.
A work permit in the USA is a plastic card certifying the right to employment in this country. If you need advice or legal support on this topic, you have come to the right place, since the team of the law firm “Prikhodko & Partners” specializes in working with such client requests. Our specialists specialize in migration law and know this area not only in the Ukrainian context, but also in the international plane. Therefore, we will effectively help you in obtaining the necessary work permit in the USA. We suggest that you familiarize yourself in more detail with how the issue of obtaining this permit is regulated.
Who can get a work permit in the United States?
Among the categories of applicants who are eligible to obtain such a permit, it should be noted:
- TPS participants;
- asylum, parole holders;
- those awaiting a green card (adjustment of status);
- students (F-1 – OPT, STEM OPT);
- holders of certain dependent visas (L-2, H-4, etc.).
Thus, the list of applicants for whom a work permit is available is quite wide. It is also important to note that when applying for a US visa, it is important to choose the right type. For example, if it is a guest visa, it does not provide for obtaining such a work permit. It is important to know these aspects in order not to make a mistake with the type of visa. If the type of visa does not provide for a work permit, you will not be able to obtain this document and get a job legally, even for a short period. And illegal employment entails sanctions for violating immigration laws.
How to get a work permit in the USA and how much does it cost?
First of all, you need to fill out Form I-765. The full package of documents depends on the applicant’s status. This is the factor that determines what you need to provide, in addition to a copy of your passport and a photo.
As for the cost of this service, it is as follows:
- $410 + $85 (biometrics if needed);
- for some categories – free.
As for the waiting period, on average it lasts from 3 to 6 months. Therefore, when you plan to work in the USA, take care of obtaining the appropriate permit in advance so that your plans do not have to be postponed due to waiting.
Another common question that clients ask immigration lawyers on this topic concerns how long the permit is issued for. As a rule, this period is 1-2 years.
What opportunities does a work permit in the USA provide?
The holder of such a permit has the right to:
- officially work;
- get SSN;
- have legalized income;
- apply for loans.
Thus, a work permit in the USA opens up the possibility of legal professional self-realization in this country. At the same time, it is important to understand what opportunities this permit does not provide. So, first of all, it is not a visa. Also, it does not provide the status of a permanent resident of the USA, i.e. it is not a green card. Therefore, a residence permit is issued separately.
Why would the services of an migration lawyer be appropriate?
When you contact the migration lawyers of the “Prikhodko & Partners” law firm, this gives you the opportunity to receive professional and high-quality assistance in obtaining a work permit in the United States.
