What is Form I-765?
Form I-765, also known as the Application for Employment Authorization, is your ticket to legally working in the United States while your immigration status is being processed. This form is essential for those seeking employment authorization while waiting for their adjustment of status to be approved, such as individuals applying for a green card.
Whether you’re an international student, a family member of a U.S. citizen, or someone pursuing permanent residency, filing Form I-765 can open doors to job opportunities while you navigate the immigration process.
When Should You File Form I-765?
Timing is everything when it comes to filing Form I-765. Here’s what you need to know:
- You can file Form I-765 at the same time as Form I-485, which is the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
- If you didn’t file it with your initial I-485 application, don’t worry—you can still file Form I-765 later. Just make sure to include a copy of your I-485 receipt notice with your application.
Related Forms You Should Know About
If you’re pursuing employment authorization alongside a pending adjustment of status, Form I-765 works hand in hand with Form I-485. Keep in mind:
- Form I-485 must be filed first or at the same time as Form I-765. You’ll need to reference your I-485 application as part of the process.
- Planning to travel while waiting for your green card? Don’t forget about Form I-131 for advance parole—this will allow you to leave the U.S. and return without abandoning your application.
