What Is the I-765 Work Permit Form?
The I-765 is the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) form used to request an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), commonly known as a work permit. It is required for many visa categories, including asylum seekers, DACA recipients, and certain adjustment‑of‑status applicants.
