How can I obtain a work permit after getting asylum?
In Vermont, the process of obtaining a work permit after getting asylum will depend on your country of origin and type of visa that you receive. Generally speaking, asylum seekers in the United States can work legally without a work permit if they receive asylum through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In order to be eligible for this, you must file an asylum application with the USCIS within one year of arriving in the United States. Once you have been granted asylum, you must apply for a work permit or “Employment Authorization Document” (EAD). To apply for the EAD, you will need to submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, to the USCIS. Along with the form, you will need to provide supporting documents such as a copy of your passport and evidence of your asylum status. You will also need to pay a filing fee. Once your application has been approved, you will receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) which indicates that the USCIS has authorized you to work in the United States. It is important to note that your EAD will only be valid for a certain period of time and you must renew it before it expires in order to maintain your work authorization. In Vermont, all employers must verify your identity and work authorization through the E-Verify system before hiring you. You are also required to keep your work permit up to date at all times, and you will need to provide evidence of it to your employer or other government agencies upon request.

Después de recibir esos documentos, debe presentar una solicitud al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) para obtener su permiso de trabajo. Su solicitud deberá incluir una identificación adecuada, una prueba de empleo y un formulario I-765, Aplicación para Autorización de Empleo. Una vez que la solicitud esté completa, el DHS la revisará y determinará si el solicitante es elegible para un permiso de trabajo. Si el solicitante cumple los requisitos, el DHS le proporcionará una autorización de empleo, que le permitirá trabajar en los Estados Unidos de manera legal. Es importante recordar que el permiso de trabajo es temporal y que el solicitante debe presentar una nueva solicitud cada vez que expire el permiso anterior, para mantener los privilegios de trabajo. También debe tener en cuenta que el permiso de trabajo no le permite obtener una tarjeta de residencia y tampoco le otorga la ciudadanía estadounidense.
