A Type I-766 employment authorization document (EAD; [1] or EAD card, known popularly as a work license, is a document issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides momentary work permission to noncitizens in the United States.
Currently the Form I-766 Employment Authorization Document is provided in the kind of a basic credit card-size plastic card improved with numerous security features. The card contains some fundamental info about the immigrant: name, birth date, sex, immigrant classification, nation of birth, image, immigrant registration number (also called “A-number”), card number, restrictive terms, and dates of validity. This file, however, should not be puzzled with the permit.
Obtaining an EAD
To request an Employment Authorization Document, noncitizens who qualify may file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. Applicants should then send out the form by means of mail to the USCIS Regional Service Center that serves their area. If approved, an Employment Authorization Document will be released for a specific amount of time based upon alien’s immigration situation.
Thereafter, USCIS will provide Employment Authorization Documents in the following categories:
Renewal Employment Authorization Document: the renewal process takes the very same quantity of time as a first-time application so the noncitizen might need to plan ahead and ask for the renewal 3 to 4 months before expiration date.
Replacement Employment Authorization Document: Replaces a lost, stolen, or mutilated EAD. A replacement Employment Authorization Document also changes an Employment Authorization Document that was released with incorrect information, such as a misspelled name. [1]
For employment-based green card candidates, the priority date needs to be existing to apply for Adjustment of Status (I-485) at which time an Employment Authorization Document can be made an application for. Typically, it is advised to get Advance Parole at the exact same time so that visa marking is not needed when returning to US from a foreign nation.

[1] The interim Employment Authorization Document will be given for a period not to go beyond 240 days and goes through the conditions kept in mind on the document.

Background: migration control and work guidelines
Undocumented immigrants have been thought about a source of low-wage labor, both in the formal and informal sectors of the economy. However, in the late 1980s with an increasing increase of un-regulated immigration, many concerned about how this would affect the economy and, at the very same time, citizens. Consequently, in 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act “in order to manage and discourage prohibited immigration to the United States” resulting increasing patrolling of U.S. borders. [7] Additionally, the Immigration Reform and Control Act carried out new work guidelines that enforced company sanctions, criminal and civil penalties “against employers who knowingly [worked with] prohibited workers”. [8] Prior to this reform, employment employers were not needed to verify the identity and employment permission of their workers; for the very very first time, this reform “made it a criminal offense for undocumented immigrants to work” in the United States. [9]
The Employment Eligibility Verification document (I-9) was needed to be utilized by employers to “confirm the identity and employment permission of individuals employed for work in the United States”. [10] While this type is not to be sent unless asked for by government officials, it is needed that all employers have an I-9 type from each of their employees, which they need to be retain for three years after day of hire or one year after employment is ended. [11]
I-9 certifying citizenship or migration statuses
– A resident of the United States.
– A noncitizen national of the United States.
– A legal long-term local.
– An alien licensed to work – As an “Alien Authorized to Work,” the worker needs to supply an “A-Number” present in the EAD card, along with the expiration day of the temporary employment authorization. Thus, as developed by form I-9, the EAD card is a file which works as both a recognition and verification of employment eligibility. [10]
Concurrently, the Immigration Act of 1990 “increased the limitations on legal migration to the United States,” […] “recognized brand-new nonimmigrant admission categories,” and revised appropriate grounds for deportation. Most importantly, it exposed the “authorized temporary safeguarded status” for aliens of designated countries. [7]
Through the modification and development of new classes of nonimmigrants, received admission and short-lived working status, both IRCA and the Immigration Act of 1990 supplied legislation for the policy of work of noncitizen.
The 9/11 attacks gave the surface area the weak element of the migration system. After the September 11 attacks, the United States heightened its focus on interior support of immigration laws to minimize prohibited immigration and to identify and eliminate criminal aliens. [12]
Temporary employee: Alien Authorized to Work
Undocumented Immigrants are people in the United States without lawful status. When these individuals certify for some type of remedy for deportation, people may receive some type of legal status. In this case, momentarily secured noncitizens are those who are approved “the right to remain in the country and work throughout a designated period”. Thus, this is kind of an “in-between status” that offers individuals momentary work and momentary remedy for deportation, employment however it does not cause irreversible residency or citizenship status. [1] Therefore, a Work Authorization Document should not be puzzled with a legalization file and it is neither U.S. long-term homeowner status nor U.S. citizenship status. The Employment Authorization Document is provided, as pointed out in the past, to qualified noncitizens as part of a reform or law that offers individuals short-term legal status
Examples of “Temporarily Protected” noncitizens (eligible for an Employment Authorization Document)
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are provided relief from deportation as momentary refugees in the United States. Under Temporary Protected Status, individuals are offered secured status if found that “conditions in that country present a risk to personal security due to ongoing armed conflict or an ecological disaster”. This status is given typically for 6 to 18 month durations, eligible for renewal unless the individual’s Temporary Protected Status is ended by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. If withdrawal of Temporary Protected Status occurs, the individual faces exemption or deportation procedures. [13]
– Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was licensed by President Obama in 2012; it supplied certified undocumented youth “access to remedy for deportation, sustainable work authorizations, and momentary Social Security numbers”. [14]
Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA): If enacted, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans would provide parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, security from deportation and make them qualified for an Employment Authorization Document. [15]
