(Form I-765) — who qualifies, how to apply, and common pitfalls

A work permit (Employment Authorization Document, EAD) allows eligible noncitizens to work lawfully in the United States while their underlying immigration case is pending or under a specific benefit category. The most common route is filing Form I-765, but eligibility rules, supporting evidence, and filing timing vary by category (asylees, adjustment applicants, TPS, DACA, certain parolees, VAWA, etc.). Therefore, confirm the correct category, gather evidence before filing, and use careful naming and filing practices to avoid delays.

Who commonly qualifies

• Asylum applicants (category (c)(8)).
• Adjustment-of-status applicants (category (c)(9)).
• TPS beneficiaries (category (c)(19)).
• DACA recipients and certain parolees/humanitarian categories.
• Spouses or dependents with derivative work authorization (L-2, E-1/E-2, H-4 where eligible).

Quick step-by-step (apply correctly)

1. Confirm the exact I-765 category code for the case facts.
2. Prepare identity and status evidence (passport, I-94, receipt/approval notices).
3. Complete and sign Form I-765; include two passport photos meeting USCIS specs.
4. Pay the fee or include Form I-912 fee-waiver documentation if eligible.
