Work Permits

 You will need to apply for an EAD if you:

• Are authorized to work in the United States because of your immigration status or circumstances (for example, you are an asylee, refugee, or U nonimmigrant) and need evidence of that employment authorization, or
• Are required to apply for permission to work; in other words, you need to request employment authorization itself. For example:
  • You have a pending Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
  • You have a pending Form I-589
