To renew a U.S. work permit (Employment Authorization Document), file Form I-765 with USCIS before your current permit expires. Include your personal information, current EAD, and any required supporting documents. Pay the applicable fee unless exempt, and submit biometrics if requested. Track your application through the USCIS portal for updates.

Start the renewal process at least 90 days before your current work permit expires to avoid gaps in employment eligibility. Delays can occur due to USCIS processing times, so timely submission is crucial. Maintaining status while waiting is essential, and some applicants can continue working under certain conditions if they filed timely.

When renewing your work permit, ensure you provide accurate employment details, copies of your current EAD, and proof of your ongoing eligibility, such as visa status or pending adjustment of status. Employers may require updated documentation to verify your work authorization, so coordinating renewal with HR can prevent or employment interruptions.
