How do I apply for a work permit?
In California, you can apply for a work permit for immigration purposes through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Depending on your age, you may need to be a permanent resident, have a valid visa/alien number/I-94, or be a refugee to apply. To apply, you must first complete the I-765 form, which is the Application for Employment Authorization. This will ask for details such as your name, address, and age, as well as other important information. You must attach supporting documents such as a valid passport, proof of identity, and two passport-sized photographs. You will also need to send in a filing fee with your application. For minors between the ages of 14 and 17, the filing fee is $410. If you are an adult over the age of 18, the filing fee is $510. You will also need to submit a copy of the Form I-94 that was issued to you when you entered the United States. Once you have submitted your application, USCIS will review it to make sure that all the information is correct and that the documents you have provided are valid. If your application is approved, you will be sent a work permit that will be valid for one year. You can renew this permit each year by submitting an updated application and filing fee.
