Employment Authorization (EAD) Attorney

The Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is the federal work permit that allows non-citizens in certain categories — asylum applicants, adjustment-of-status applicants, DACA recipients, certain visa-status holders, and others — to work lawfully in the United States while their underlying case is pending.

Haque Legal handles EAD filings (initial Form I-765, renewals, replacement cards) for clients in every eligible category, and we coordinate the EAD with the underlying immigration filing so that processing is as continuous as possible. The wrong category code, the wrong supporting evidence, or a missed renewal window can leave a client unable to work for months — we plan around that.

If you are filing an asylum case, an I-485 adjustment, or any other immigration matter that triggers EAD eligibility, the EAD timing should be part of the strategy from day one.
