Thinking about working in the US but unsure about your eligibility? Form I-765 can help! Here’s a quick rundown:
-
What it is: An application to USCIS for permission to work legally in the US.
-
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.
-
Renewals: Apply for renewal before your current EAD expires to avoid gaps in work authorization.
