To secure a U.S. work permit (EAD), first confirm you meet the requirements of an immigration category such as asylum, DACA, refugee status, or a pending green card. File Form I-765 with USCIS, providing photos, identification, proof of status, and fees. Following a biometrics appointment, if approved, the EAD card is mailed, authorizing you to work legally in the United States.
