The EAD (Employment Authorization Document) is the work permit that allows certain individuals to work legally in the United States while their main immigration process — such as adjustment of status, asylum or a family petition — is pending.

How the Process Works
1
We confirm your eligibility
We verify that your underlying immigration process (adjustment of status, asylum, DACA, etc.) qualifies for an EAD.
2
We prepare Form I-765
We gather the necessary documentation and complete the application with USCIS.
3
We request Advance Parole
If applicable, we also handle the travel permit together with your employment authorization.

You receive your EAD card
Once approved, you can work legally and use it as valid identification in the U.S.
