Before non-citizens or immigrants in Arizona can work in the state, they must have an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), aka a work permit. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues this document after a candidate has passed its screening process. To apply and receive a work authorization, applicants have to do the following:
That’s pretty much the entire process. However, it can be more complex than it seems. For instance, identifying the right qualifying class or figuring out the eligibility categories can be difficult.
Then, there is a real risk of errors or omissions during the filing. These issues can easily lead to denied applications or unnecessary delays. When one needs to work, they do not have the luxury of dealing with delays and filing appeals. This is where an experienced Arizona attorney from New Frontier Immigration Law can help with your work permit.
We can work with non-immigrant applicants to identify the right categories, meet the eligibility requirements, and accurately apply for the Employment Authorization Document. This increases the candidate’s chances of receiving their work permit without any delays.
It depends on the category and status of the applicant. Non-citizens seeking temporary work permits or people in the Temporary Protected Status category may not be required to undergo any labor certifications. The same applies to individuals with certain visa types, like the EB-1 or EB-5.
However, others with visa types like the EB-2 and EB-3 may require a PERM Labor Certification, which is issued by the Department of Labor. This certification basically establishes that no U.S. worker fits the job role, and the applicant can be hired by any organization that requires their skill set or qualifications. In the latter scenario, the company typically files for a work authorization on behalf of its hire.
If you qualify, you can get your employment authorization and start working in Arizona. However, to get the work permit on time and without any delays or issues, you may need help from an experienced Arizona work permit lawyer. At New Frontier Immigration Law, our legal team can help you file the necessary documents correctly and provide the necessary legal guidance.
