Thread: Obama Approval Crashes to New Low Following Amnesty Decree

An Employment Authorization Document (EAD), EAD card, known popularly as a "work permit", is a document issued by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides its holder a legal right to work in the United States of America. It should not be confused with the green card.

Certain 'aliens' (non-residents) who are temporarily in the United States may file a Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, to request an EAD. The Employment Authorization Document is issued for a specific period of time based on alien's immigration situation. If an alien possesses a valid EAD, he or she is authorized to freely work in the United States without their employer having to file a non-immigrant worker petition. Currently the EAD is issued in the form of a standard credit card-size plastic card enhanced with multiple security features. The EAD card contains some basic information about alien: name, birth date, sex, immigrant category, country of birth, photo, alien registration number (also called "A-number"), card number, restrictive terms and conditions, and dates of validity.

Foreign nationals with an EAD can lawfully work in the United States for any employer.

But she vowed to fight against the new policy. “We’re going to have to battle back and hopefully we will have the American public on my team,â€
