Employment Authorization Cards and Work Permits for U.S. Immigrants
The attorneys at the VanNoy firm believe it is our job to help you find work in the U.S. and begin living your American dream.
In most cases, you have to be a U.S. citizen or a green card holder to get a job in the United States. However, in some cases, you can get a job without applying for a green card or becoming a full U.S. citizen. Instead, you must apply for an employment authorization card. In this article, we’ll discuss how the Ohio immigration attorneys at the VanNoy Firm help Dayton, Ohio, residents secure work permits in the U.S.
What is an EAD Card or Work Permit?
An EAD card is also known as an employment authorization card or a work permit. Once you have the card, it proves your legal right to work in the United States. Employers are required by law to ensure that all of their employees are lawfully allowed to work in the U.S. The work permit is kept on file by the employer when they are filing tax forms.Â
Do I Need to Apply for an EAD Card?
If you have a green card or are a U.S. citizen, you will not need to apply for an EAD card. Asylum seekers, refugees, those on student visas, those under temporary protected status, spouses and fiances of American citizens, and the spouses of children on the following visas:
- J-2
- E-1/E-2
- L-1
Additionally, some work visas only authorize a foreign national to work for one employer or within one industry. Those who want to apply for other positions must apply for an EAD card. Those with pending I-485 or I-589 forms will need to apply for an EAD card before working.Â
What Should I Do if I am Not Sure of My Status?
If you want to seek employment, have an opportunity to do so, and do not know if you are authorized to work in the United States, the Ohio immigration attorneys at The VanNoy Firm can review your case, take a look at your current status, and determine which forms need to be filed with the government so that you can start working in the U.S.Â

I cannot say enough how much I appreciate the help, wisdom, and kindness of Mr VanNoy, and his staff. At the end of my son's last court date the judge said you must have a good lawyer, and he absolutely did. Can not say enough good things about Mr VanNoy. Works in the best interest of his clients for results that will help benefit them in the long run.

As a Dayton Attorney, I have have both worked with Anthony and battled against him in Court for over 25 years. He is a great litigator and a fierce advocate for his client! Besides that, his word is his bond!

Make the Call! Call the VanNoy Firm first!! I spent days, calling around to different firms seeking legal assistance. Our lives can change in an instant and if you are faced with a legal challenge, call the VanNoy Firm! I was blessed to have the support, guidance and overall experience that I did with the VanNoy Firm. Kristie Gotwald represented me in a Child Custody Case. Kristie’s commitment to my case was exceptional. Kristie’s communication, not only with me but also with the court and the opposing layer, kept me confident that Kristie was continuing to fight for justice everyday.…

I highly recommend Kristie L. Gotwald, Esq. from the VanNoy Firm. My cousin avoided a lot of serious time because of her. She was always pleasant and professional and I really appreciate her honesty and transparency through the whole process
