Which Non-Citizens Don't Need to Separately Apply for a Work Permit?

If you are all green card holder (lawful permanent or conditional residents) automatically have permission to work in the United States. You simply need to show their green card to employers.Immigrants who go on to become U.S. citizens can, of course, work, and will be able to show their U.S. passport or naturalization certificate to employers.

Further, if you are foreign nationals who have obtained work-based visas that have been sponsored by U.S. employers are also eligible to work in the United States. For example, such visas include an H-1B (for specialty workers), an L-1 visa (for intracompany transferees), an E-3 visa (only for Australians), and an E treaty trader or treaty investor visa (for employees of companies registered as treaty traders or treaty investors in the United States). Now let’s move to see,

How you can apply for a U.S. Work Permit (EAD)

You need to fill out a one-page form, attach the fee, photos, and documents proving you’re eligible, and submit it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

The catch, however, is making sure you are eligible. A work permit is available only to limited groups of immigrants, usually those who are in the process of applying for adjustment of status (a green card) or who have some temporary right to be in the United States.Also, don’t confuse applying for a work permit with applying for a work visa to the United States, such as an H-1B. This is a much more complicated application process.Lets see the steps to follow to apply for US work permit. 

Filling Out Form I-765

The form you will use to apply for a work permit is Form I-765,Most of the form is self-explanatory. You’ll fill in your name, contact information, and so on. On Question 22, they really do want your most recent entry into the U.S., even if you had been living here for a while and merely took a short trip abroad. “Manner of entry” asks about the type of visa you used to come in on.

Question 27 will probably require the most effort. You’ll need to look at the I-765 instructions (also on the USCIS website) to figure out which eligibility category you’re in.

For example, some of the most common categories include category (a)(5) for someone granted asylum, (a)(12) for people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), (c)(3)(C) for students doing post-completion optional practical training, (c)(5) for J-2 spouses of a J-1 exchange visitor, and (c)(9) for anyone with a pending. If your category has only two letters or numbers (such as (c)(9)), don’t worry about the fact that there are three spaces on the form (formed by the parentheses). Just put the “c” in the second set of parentheses and the “9” in the third.Now moving to next step that is,
