Form I-765 is a document filed to apply for permission to work in the U.S. or request the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) as proof that such permission exists.
Foreign nationals who wish to work in the U.S. are required to fill out Form I-765 to request authorization. This includes non-immigrants, such as refugees, asylum seekers, and students on an F-1 visa, as well as immigrants awaiting their green card to be approved. Furthermore, individuals who are authorized may file it to request for proof of authorization.
There is no specific due date for submitting Form I-765, but it’s advisable to file it as soon as possible if you want to work in the U.S. However, if you want to renew your EAD, make sure to submit Form I-765 at least six months before the expiration date to give USCIS enough time to process your case.
Penalties for not submitting the I-765 Form and working illegally can be quite severe and jeopardize your future in the U.S. Individuals who continue working without employment authorization may face deportation and denial of re-entry, while their employers may be fined and sentenced to prison.
You file the I-765 Form with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, either by logging in to their website and selecting a form to complete there or submitting one by mail. In the latter case, you can find filing locations divided by categories on the USCIS website.

Correcting mistakes on Form I-765 once you’ve submitted it is a little complicated; you can’t do it by yourself and must contact the USCIS Contact Center. It may take a while to reach an actual person, after which your mistake will either be corrected or you will receive further instructions. However, this is preferable to waiting months for a new EAD to be issued if you receive an incorrectly filled one.
