What is an EAD?
An Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is a work permit that proves the individual is authorized to work in the United States for a specific period. EAD is issued as a small card for a particular duration.
U.S. laws mandate that all U.S. employers ensure that employees, regardless of citizenship or national origin, can work in the United States.
If you are an asylee, you do not necessarily need to have an EAD issued by USCIS to show that you are authorized to work in the United States.
If USCIS has granted you asylum, you are not required to file an application for work authorization. The Asylum Office will begin processing your EAD automatically when you are granted asylum.
The EAD is generally valid for one year and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you remain in valid asylee status.
Procedures to apply for EAD
To start, you must fill out an application Form, I-589, available on the USCIS website. This form must be completed and filed to USCIS along with supporting documentation.
You will also need to submit biometrics, including fingerprints and a photo.
After 150 days have passed since your successful filing of Form I-589 without a decision, you may apply for an EAD.
To apply for an EAD, you must file Form I-765 with USCIS, the required fee, and supporting documentation.
Once your application is approved, USCIS will issue you an EAD card allowing you to work legally in the United States.
