Obtaining a Work Permit in the USA
If you were granted humanitarian parole after November 21, 2022, you are eligible to work in the USA without waiting for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). However, if your humanitarian parole was obtained after November 23, 2023, you need to submit Form I-765 to USCIS to obtain a work permit. This is important, as this form confirms your right to employment.
The application process includes filling out the form online on the USCIS website or sending it by mail for free. Remember that your employer will require you to complete Form I-9 to confirm your right to work. If your Form I-94 has an "UHP" admission class, it can serve as your EAD.
Key Steps to Obtain a Work Permit
- Check if you are eligible for humanitarian parole.
- Gather all necessary documents, such as Form I-765, medical records, and birth certificates.
- Fill out Form I-765 online or send it by mail to USCIS.
- Receive confirmation of your application submission.
- Wait for USCIS to make a decision regarding your application.
