Proof of legal authorization to work in the United States is increasingly required in this day and age.  All employers are required to comply with US immigration laws in verifying their workers have the legal right to work.  A work permit is a temporary document issued by USCIS to those who have a legal right to seek employment in the US.  With a work permit individuals can seek a valid social security card.

Work permits or Employment Authorization Documents (EADs)  are not issued on their own account but in connection with a person’s lawful status in the United States.  Most often USCIS issues EADs to people who have filed a separate application for resident status or an employment related visa case.  Sometimes foreign students are entitled to EADs incident to their status or for “practical training” once they have completed their studies.

USCIS also issues work permits to people granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) a designation issued by the government to those from certain countries that have experienced difficult or emergent situations as a result of war, hurricanes or other natural disasters.   Whatever the basis for your eligibility, we can help you properly file for your work permit.
