I-765, Application for Employment
Authorization
Certain foreign nationals who are in the United States may file Form I-765, Application for
Employment Authorization, to request employment authorization and an Employment Authorization
Document (EAD). Other foreign nationals whose immigration status authorizes them to work in the
United States without restrictions may also use Form I-765 to apply to U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) for an EAD that shows such authorization.
Foreign nationals may also apply for a Social Security number and card on Form I-765.
If you are a lawful permanent resident, a conditional permanent resident, or a nonimmigrant only
authorized for employment with a specific employer under 8 CFR 274a.12(b), do not use Form I-765.

aggravated felony. You must, however, provide information and any
supporting documentation on all crimes which you were convicted of so
USCIS can make an appropriate decision. Provide a certified copy of all
arrest reports, court dispositions, sentencing documents, and any other
relevant documents.
