As an asylum seeker in the United States, one of your primary concerns may be working legally while you wait for your asylum application to be processed. Fortunately, there are options available that can allow you to obtain temporary employment authorization. In this blog post, we'll cover everything you need to know about employment authorization for asylum seekers, including what it is, when you can file, and how an attorney can help.
Temporary authorization, also known as a work permit or Employment Authorization Document (EAD), allows an individual to work legally in the United States for a limited period of time. As an asylum seeker, you may be eligible for temporary authorization to work while your asylum application is pending. To obtain temporary authorization, you will need to file an Application for Employment Authorization (Form I-765) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
You may file for temporary authorization to work once you have submitted your asylum application and it has been pending for 150 days (approximately 5 months). It's important to note that even if you file for temporary authorization, you are not guaranteed to receive it. USCIS has the discretion to grant or deny your application based on various factors, including your asylum eligibility and any criminal history.
Navigating the asylum application process can be complex and overwhelming, especially if you're also trying to obtain temporary work authorization. An experienced immigration attorney can help you understand your rights and obligations as an asylum seeker, as well as guide you through the process of filing for temporary employment authorization. An attorney can also advise you on any other potential options for obtaining legal work authorization, such as through DACA or a U visa.
