What is the purpose of Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization?

❯❯


Application for Employment Authorization (Form I-765) is aimed to request an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), i.e. a work permit for certain categories of foreigners. EAD proves the right for legal work in the USA and serves as a government-issued photo ID. Form I-765 can be used not only to request EAD, but also to replace or renew it.

Aliens who are temporarily living in the USA and eligible to work there include:

  • employment-based non-immigrants;
  • family-based non-immigrants;
  • foreign students;
  • asylees/refugees, their spouses and kids;
  • adjustment-of-status categories;
  • nationality categories;
  • eligible dependents of employees of diplomatic missions, international organizations, or NATO.

Who does not need to file Form I-765?

If you are a lawful permanent resident or a conditional resident, there is no need to file Form I-765 as green card holders can work without any special permission. EAD is issued automatically to principal U non-immigrant petitioners, without submitting Form I-765, after the petition underlying their status is approved.

I wanted to get political asylum in the United States, but I realized that it was not so easy. I was ready for the fact that I would have to collect a whole bunch of documents and answer many questions, but this did not stop me. The only obstacle for me was a complete lack of understanding where to start. I accidentally found Usa-immigrations.com on the Internet. All the information you need is there. I easily found and downloaded the form I needed, and also learned the entire list of required documents.

A very useful site for those who want to leave for America and do not know what documents need to be collected and how to arrange everything correctly. I had to face such a problem and I was able to solve it thanks to the site Usa-immigrations.com. All the information gathered here is not only useful, but also very necessary. In addition, the site staff constantly update it, so it is absolutely reliable.

It is not an easy task to issue documents to travel to the USA. Even if you know their entire list, that's not all. To obtain a visa, you must fill out the forms and if even a minor mistake is made, they will be returned to you. At Usa-immigrations.com there is more than a list of documents and forms that can be easily downloaded. Each form is accompanied by detailed instructions on how to fill it out correctly. It is very convenient. I liked the site very much, it is simple and easy to use.

I have been living in America with my family for a long time and am a citizen of this country. I decided to lure my mother to her. I began to find out what documents are needed for this. One friend advised the site Usa-immigrations.com, said that it had all the necessary information. Indeed, here I found out what documents are required. I needed to complete a Form I-130. I also found it on this site and downloaded it. Thanks to the instructions for filling it out, I was able to quickly complete everything and send the documents for consideration.
