Moving to the United States can significantly impact your personal and professional life. Whether you want to work here temporarily or permanently, establish new relationships, or become a US citizen, various options are available.

While not all immigrants are eligible to work in the United States, green card holders and some employment visa holders can legally do so. Obtaining an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), commonly known as a work permit, is necessary for those outside of these categories.

This document, issued by the US government, grants immigrants the ability to work in the country. It is important to note that you do not need to be a green card holder to obtain a work permit in the US. However, you must have an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa to reside in the country.

Individuals under the DACA program are also eligible to apply for a work permit. A work permit provides short-term authorization to work legally in the US, allowing holders to seek and secure job opportunities. While obtaining this permit can be complex, maintaining your immigration status is crucial.

Our experienced immigration lawyers at Gehi and Associates can assist you in applying for your visa and EAD, guiding you through the process to ensure you can legally work in the United States. Contact us today for more information on how we can help you navigate the visa application process and obtain employment authorization.
