From i-765 is the application for employee. Generally, it is used by foreign nationals in the United States with certain non-immigrant visas or pending immigration applications that allow for temporary employment during their adjudication period. Form i-765 is used to request your first work permit or request a replacement of a lost, stolen, or damaged work permit, or request renewal of an expired or expiring work permit. US citizens, lawful permanent residents, conditional permanent residents, and non-immigrants authorized to be employed with a specific employer do not need a work permit. Additionally, applicants must belong to a specific eligibility category. This is a lengthy list that can be found by reviewing the instructions for Form i-765 on the USCIS website, or by taking the eligibility quiz on the Citizen Path website. Candidates applying under deferred action or deferred action for childhood arrivals, also known as DACA, will also need to complete the i-765 WS worksheet that establishes the economic need for a work permit. This is a simple worksheet that can be completed fairly easily. Once you have a work permit, it is valid for one year. In some cases, it may be valid for longer. You will need to renew it within 120 days before its expiration date. If you have been arrested or convicted of a crime or offense, you should consult with an immigration attorney before filing Form i-765. People with straightforward cases can usually file by themselves. Citizen Path, a company developed by immigration attorneys, makes filing for a work permit quick and easy.
