WORK PERMITS
Work with our immigration attorney to apply for, renew, or fix issues with your work permit, so you don’t have to put your future on pause.
Why Work With Our Attorney for Work Permits?
A work permit, officially known as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is what allows many immigrants in the U.S. to legally work while waiting on a green card, asylum, TPS, or other immigration status. At 360 Immigration Law Group, we work closely with clients in Coral Springs, South Florida, and throughout the state and country to apply for work permits that let them move forward without stress or guesswork.
What You Gain & How We Help
Who Can Apply for a U.S. Work Permit?
Not everyone needs or qualifies for a work permit. You must already have a pending or approved immigration status that allows for employment.
You may be eligible for a work permit if you are:
- Applying for a green card (adjustment of status)
- An asylum applicant or asylum grantee
- A DACA recipient
- A TPS (Temporary Protected Status) recipient
- In certain family- or employment-based visa categories
- Waiting on a decision from USCIS and allowed to remain in the U.S.
- Currently awaiting a decision on a pending humanitarian application (VAWA, T Visa, or U Visa).
- Individuals who are granted parole into the U.S. for humanitarian reasons or under specific programs
