  • Who can use it: Various categories including asylum seekers, green card applicants, DACA recipients, and certain visa holders.

  • Filing Process: Complete the form, gather required documents and fees, and submit it to USCIS.

  • Validity Period: The Employment Authorization Document (EAD) you receive is typically valid for 1-2 years.
