Employment Authorization

Those authorized to work for any employer incident to status or circumstance;
Those authorized to work for a specific employer incident to status; and

Those who must apply for permission to work. Those in the first and third categories must generally apply for an Employment Authorization Document (“EAD”) on Form I-765 as evidence of their authorization to work.

Those in the second category, i.e., authorized to work for a specific employer, do not require an EAD, as the I-94 authorizes employment.
