Work Permit/EAD

A Work Permit Opens Doors

A work permit is a vital step toward building stability and opportunity in the U.S. Officially known as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), this permit—issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)—gives you the legal right to work in the U.S. Securing employment supports your immigration journey and helps create a strong future for yourself and your family.

Why Legal Assistance Matters

We’ve seen how dreams of working in the U.S. can get derailed or delayed when applying independently for a work permit (EAD). One client submitted three EADs on their own before contacting us. Two applications were rejected, and the third was denied due to avoidable errors. Working with experienced immigration legal assistance helps avoid errors such as these, allowing for fewer delays and denials. 

  • Support at Every Step – We advocate on your behalf if USCIS requests additional evidence or denies your application
  • Prevent Costly Mistakes – We ensure that your application is complete, accurate, and submitted on time so you can seize opportunities to work and grow in the U.S.
