Many non-citizens in the United States are eligible for employment authorization, including asylum applicants, TPS holders, adjustment of status applicants, certain visa holders, and DACA recipients. The Law Office of Cristea & Tatti evaluates your immigration status, identifies the correct eligibility category, and prepares a complete, accurate EAD application to minimize delays and maximize your chances of approval.
Processing times for Form I-765 vary by category and by current USCIS workloads, so timelines can shift. We prepare your application accurately and include all required documentation to help prevent the delays and requests for evidence that slow many cases down.
Depending on your visa category, you may qualify for an automatic extension of your EAD while the renewal is pending, allowing you to continue working lawfully. The Law Office of Cristea & Tatti advises clients on whether they qualify for automatic extensions and helps employers understand the documentation needed to verify continued work authorization during the gap period.
Yes. If USCIS denies your EAD application, The Law Office of Cristea & Tatti reviews the denial notice, identifies the reason for rejection, and advises on the best course of action, Â whether that is filing a motion to reconsider, submitting a new application with corrected documentation, or pursuing an appeal. A denial does not necessarily end your ability to obtain work authorization; prompt legal action is essential.
Generally, obtaining an EAD does not negatively affect your underlying immigration status or pending applications. However, the type of EAD you receive is tied to your specific immigration category. The Law Office of Cristea & Tatti ensures your EAD application aligns with your broader immigration goals and that renewing work authorization does not inadvertently create complications in your green card or other pending proceedings.
At The Law Office of Cristea & Tatti, we’re committed to providing trusted legal guidance with compassion, integrity, and expertise. Whether you’re seeking help with a family matter, immigration issue, or another legal concern, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
