An Employment Authorization Card (EAD), or work permit, is a legal document in the form of a credit card issued by the USCIS, that allows its holder to to work in the United States legally. You may apply for an EAD if:

• You are authorized to work in the U.S. based on your immigration status
• You are authorized to work in the U.S. for a specific employer based on your nonimmigrant status.
• Your immigration category requires you to request a work authorization
• Your current EAD card has either expired or will expire within 6 months
• Your current EAD card has incorrect information on it.
• Your current EAD card is lost, stolen or destroyed (even if partially)
• The USCIS has failed to grant you an EAD card within the designated 90 day period. In this case, the USCIS will issue you an Interim EAD card for no longer than 240 days.

Foreign citizens temporarily residing in the U.S. may request employment authorization card.
The EAD card is issued for a given period of time based on the applicant’s immigration status. Once granted, applicants may legally work anywhere in the U.S. for any employer and without them having to file a nonimmigrant worker petition. You may apply for an EAD if you belong to any of the following visa qualifying categories:
