Are children able to receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) if they are in removal proceedings?

In Utah, the answer to whether children are able to receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) if they are in removal proceedings is yes. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), children in removal proceedings may apply for an EAD. However, the USCIS notes that this does not guarantee that the application will be approved. The USCIS will review the application on a case-by-case basis. In order to be eligible for an EAD, the child must first establish eligibility through a pending asylum or withholding of removal application. In addition, the child must demonstrate that he or she has an economic need for the document. For a child to be considered economically needy, he or she must prove that the employment authorization document is necessary to support himself or herself, or their dependents. The USCIS will also require that the child is not a threat to U.S. national security, public safety, or public health. If the child is under the age of 14, he or she must have a parent or legal guardian that can vouch for him or her. In Utah, the process for applying for an EAD is similar to other states. The application process involves completing the Form I-765, along with other forms. The forms must then be submitted with the appropriate fees and supporting documents to the USCIS. It is important to note that the application process can take up to six months to be processed.

Los niños que se encuentran en proceso de remoción en Utah tienen la posibilidad de obtener un Documento de Autorización de Empleo (EAD). Esta posibilidad se ofrece a los menores de edad que se encuentran en situación migratoria irregular y que buscan autorización para acceder a oportunidades de empleo y trabajar legalmente durante el proceso de remoción. La USCIS (agencia federal para la inmigración) en Utah aceptará solicitudes de EAD para niños en proceso de remoción si cumplen los requisitos establecidos que incluyen una revisión de elegibilidad, presentar documentación de identidad y tener vínculos familiares legales. Además, como un requisito previo, el menor de edad debe tener un caso de inmigración pendiente bajo el cual la USCIS haya establecido que el niño tiene el derecho de presentar una solicitud de EAD. Es importante mencionar que el proceso de obtención de un EAD para niños en situación de remoción puede variar según el estado en el que se encuentre el solicitante. Por lo tanto, es importante que los menores de edad interesados en obtener un EAD se informen acerca de los procesos específicos de su estado antes de presentar una solicitud.
