Work Permits (I-765)

Apply for or Renew Your Employment Authorization Quickly and Accurately

A Work Permit (Employment Authorization Document – EAD) allows eligible immigrants to legally work in the United States. Whether you are applying for the first time or renewing your card, submitting a complete and accurate Form I-765 is essential to avoid delays and interruptions in employment.

Nakimax Immigration Services helps you prepare a strong, well-organized I-765 application so you can work with confidence and peace of mind.


What Is Form I-765?

Form I-765 is used to request authorization to work in the U.S.
You may apply for a work permit if you fall under an immigration category that allows employment authorization, such as:

  • Adjustment of Status applicants (AOS)

  • Asylum applicants

  • DACA recipients

  • TPS beneficiaries

  • Certain visa holders

  • Spouses of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (under certain categories)

  • Students under OPT or CPT (in specific cases)

Nakimax helps you determine whether you qualify and which eligibility category applies.


Who Can Apply for a Work Permit?

You may be eligible for a work permit if you are:

  • Applying for a green card (I-485)

  • Applying for asylum or withholding of removal

  • Approved for DACA

  • A TPS holder or applicant

  • Under certain family-based or employment-based categories

  • A spouse of a visa holder (E, L, or others, depending on rules)

  • An applicant for certain humanitarian programs

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, we help you confirm your eligibility before filing.

✔ Identification Documents
