WORK
PERMIT (EAD)
Many immigrants in the United States qualify for the right to work legally through an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), also known as a work permit. If you are in the U.S. temporarily or have a pending immigration case, you may be eligible to apply for this crucial benefit.
At Virgen & Virgen Attorneys at Law in San Antonio, we have over 27 years of experience helping clients secure legal work authorization so they can build a stable life and support their families.

What Is a Work Permit (EAD)?
A work permit (EAD) is a card issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows non-citizens to work legally in the United States.
The EAD is often issued to individuals with:
● Pending Adjustment of Status (Green Card) applications.
● Asylum applicants or those granted asylum.
● DACA recipients (DREAMERS).
● Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiaries.
● Spouses of certain visa holders (such as H-4 or L-2).
● Individuals with other pending immigration benefits.
Who Qualifies for a Work Permit?
Eligibility for a work permit depends on your specific immigration status or pending application.
You may qualify if you are:
● Waiting for a decision on your Green Card application.
● In the U.S. under DACA or TPS.
● Married to a visa holder who allows derivative work authorization.
● An asylum applicant or refugee.
● Under an immigration status that provides temporary work rights.
Our attorneys will carefully review your case and determine whether you or your loved one
qualify.
Why You Need a Work Permit
Without an EAD, working in the United States is unlawful and can lead to serious immigration consequences. By obtaining a work permit, you gain:
● Legal right to work in the U.S.
● Access to better job opportunities.
● Ability to apply for a Social Security Number.
● Driver’s license eligibility in most states, including Texas.
● Stability for your family’s future while your immigration case is pending.
