How do I obtain a work permit?

If you wish to obtain a work permit in the state of Florida, there are a few steps you must complete. First, you must have an approved immigrant status. To do this, you must apply for an immigrant visa through the U.S. Department of State’s Visa Services. Once approved, you can then apply for employment authorization from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This will allow you to work in the US legally. Next, you must meet the requirements set forth by the USCIS. Depending on the type of work permit for which you are applying, additional requirements may be necessary. Once these requirements have been met, you must then submit an application to the USCIS. Along with the application, you must include proof of identity, proof of authorized immigration status, verification of financial resources or proof of ability to support yourself, personal information, and more. Once your application is received by the USCIS, it will be reviewed for approval. Once approved, you will receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), which grants you the right to work in the US legally. With the EAD, you must then apply to the corresponding State Department of Labor and Employment Security and provide documentation of your authorized status. Upon submitting the documentation, you will then receive a work permit. The permit will state your conditions of employment and any restrictions you may have while employed in the US. It is important to follow the regulations set forth in the work permit to remain legally employed.
