Work Permits
A work permit, formally an Employment Authorization Document, lets you work legally while another immigration case is pending. It is often the first document that changes daily life.
What we help with
- Applying for a first work permit (Form I-765)
- Renewals, and filing early enough to avoid a gap
- Automatic extensions and what to show an employer
- Work permits tied to a pending green card, TPS, U visa, or VAWA case
- Replacing a lost or incorrect card
- Social Security numbers and driver's license questions that follow
Becoming a client
New clients are taken from a waiting list. Call the office to ask about current availability. Urgent matters, like a detention or an upcoming court date, are handled separately.
