How can I apply for a work authorization?

Applying for a work authorization in Arizona can involve a few steps depending on your situation. If you are not a U.S. citizen, but you have permission to work in the U.S. as part of the Immigration Law - Employment, you can apply for a work authorization. The first step is to complete Form I-765, also known as an Application for Employment Authorization. This form can be obtained from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website or from a local USCIS office. You will need to provide your biographic information, your address, and details about the type of work authorization for which you are applying. The form will need to be mailed with the accompanying fee to the USCIS office. Include documents like your passport and any other relevant paperwork with your application. You will need to include proof of your legal immigration status, like a valid green card or visa. Once your application has been received and reviewed by USCIS, you will either be granted a work authorization or denied. If your application is approved, you will receive an Employment Authorization Document card in the mail. You will need this card to legally start working in Arizona.

La manera de solicitar un permiso de trabajo varía dependiendo de la situación de cada uno. Si usted es un extranjero sin documentación legal, hay un proceso para solicitar autorización de empleo. Primero, debe llenar el Formulario I-765, también conocido como el Solicitante de Autorización de Empleo. Esta solicitud se presenta a la oficina de Ciudadanía y Servicios de Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS por sus siglas en inglés). La solicitud de autorización de empleo puede presentarse en línea o por correo. En Arizona, una vez que se ha presentado la solicitud de autorización de empleo, debe esperar una notificación por escrito sobre su estado. Si la autorización es aprobada, recibirá un Documento de Autorización de Empleo (EAD) emitido por el USCIS. El permiso de trabajo es válido por un período de tiempo específico, normalmente por hasta un año. Si es necesario, el EAD se puede renovar después de que expire. Es importante recordar que cada solicitante debe presentar los documentos correctos requeridos y la documentación más reciente emitida por el USCIS para ser elegible para recibir la autorización. Si no cumple con los requisitos, es posible que su application sea denegada.
