Recommended language to show
online filing is only supported for
(c)(3)(A), (c)(3)(B), and
(c)(3)(C)eligibility categories

All other applicants must submit a paper Form I-765.
Please review the specific filing instructions if you are filing Form I-765 under one of the following eligibility categories:
F1 Students Seeking Optional Practical Training (OPT)

https://www.uscis.gov/i-765

(c)(3)(A) eligibility category: Submit Form I-765 up to 90 days before being enrolled as an F-1 foreign student for one full academic year at an educational institution approved by
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). Your period of employment will not start before you have completed one
full academic year. If you completed the one-year requirement while in another valid nonimmigrant status and you are now in valid F-1 status, you are still eligible to apply for
OPT.

Form I-765 instructions, "Who
May File Form I-765"- pages 6-8

(c)(3)(B) eligibility category: Submit Form I-765 up to 90 days before, but no later than 60 days after your program end date. You must submit your application within 30 days of
the date that your designated school official (DSO) enters the recommendation for OPT into your Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) record. If you fail to
do so, we will deny your OPT request.
(c)(3)(C) eligibility category: Submit Form I-765 application up to 90 days before your current OPT expires, but you must submit within 60 days of the DSO's approval of STEM
OPT.
Note: If you are an F-1 student filing for initial or extension of OPT, your OPT and your employment authorization will be automatically terminated if you change educational
program levels or transfer to another school. Working in the United States without authorization may result in your removal from the United States or denial of re-entry. Consult
your DSO for additional details.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

www.uscis.gov/tps

(a)(12) and (c)(19) eligibility categories: Submit Form I-765 with your Form I-821 application or with evidence that we accepted or approved your initial Form I-821. You must
also follow the instructions for filing your application as described in the most recent TPS Federal Register notice regarding a TPS designation, re-designation, or extension for
your country. For more information, review our instructions for TPS applicants.
Parole
(c)(11) eligibility category: File Form I-765 with a copy of your Form I-94, passport, or other travel document showing you were paroled into the United States for urgent
humanitarian reasons or reasons of significant public benefit pursuant to INA 212(d)(5) (such as Cuban Family and Haitian Family Reunification Parole programs).
Note: For individuals paroled into the United States after a positive credible fear determination — On Feb. 7, 2022, in Asylumworks et al. v. Mayorkas et al., the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia vacated several rules that affected applications for employment authorization filed by individuals who received positive credible fear
determinations and were subsequently paroled into the United States. Credible fear parolees may file an EAD application at any time after being paroled into the United States,
and may seek employment authorization under the (c)(11) category at the time of filing.
Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

Fee

(c)(33) eligibility category: You must submit Form I-765 with Form I-821D or with proof that you previously filed Form I-821D.
Fee: $410.
TPS applicants: You must pay the Form I-765 filing fee if you are requesting an EAD as an initial TPS applicant, unless you are younger than 14 or older than 65. If you are reregistering for TPS and requesting an EAD, you must pay the Form I-765 filing fee.
Note: Your total filing fee will be shown at the end of this form. The total will include the application fee for Form I-765, biometric services fee (if required), and the fee for any
other form you are submitting with this application.

Refund Policy: USCIS does not refund fees, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition or request, or how long USCIS takes to reach a decision. By continuing
this transaction, you acknowledge that you must submit fees in the exact amount and that you are paying the fees for a government service.

showing your picture, name, and date of birth; a birth certificate with photo ID; a visa issued by a foreign consulate; or a national ID document with photo and/or fingerprint.
The identity document photocopy must clearly show your facial features and contain your biographical information.

accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.

Biometric services appointment

USCIS may require that you appear for an interview or provide biometrics (fingerprints, photograph, and/or signature) at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional
information, and conduct background and security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), before making a
decision on your application, petition, or request. After USCIS receives your application and ensures it is complete, we will inform you in writing if you need to attend a
biometric services appointment. If an appointment is necessary, the notice will provide you the location of your local or designated USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) and
the date and time of your appointment.
