Can I work if my EAD renewal is in process?
You will not be eligible to work when an EAD application is pending with USCIS.
Do I need an employment authorization card?
If you are lawful permanent resident (green card holder) or a conditional resident, you do NOT require EAD to work in the US.
Can I get a Social Security number with an employment authorization card?
If USCIS approves your application, you will receive two documents by mail:
1. Employment Authorization Document (EAD), also known as the “I-766 card” or “work permit”, and
2. SSN card.
When I can I get a work permit, if i apply for asylum?
Once 150 days have passed and you have applied, the government has 30 days to give you (or deny) your EAD. If you was granted asylum status, you not only gain the right to work in the U.S., but don’t need to apply for an EAD with which to do so.
