Thank you ASAP .I was skeptical about filling EAD . I watched numerous videos n finally stumbled on this video . I followed every step and behold I received my Receipt in a week. Thank you . I wish everyone watching this Goodluck
We are happy to hear you found this video helpful! Thank you for your kind words and for being a part of the ASAP community!
I followed the instructions in this video and filed my EAD Renewal. I received my USCIS receipt in 4 days after mailing everything as clearly explained in this video. Thank you for saving me $900 that my lawyer was asking on top of the $410 USCIS Fees. Good Job ASAP Team!!!!!
I just checked my case status online; my new EAD new card is being produced after just filing my EAD renewal in 4 days. Wow !!!! it's faster by doing it myself and following ASAP video instructions.
Wow, that's great! Thank you for sharing and for your kind words. Wishing you all the best!
It is great to count on this kind of help ASAP provides to Asylum seekers. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a part of ASAP community!
Thank you all at ASAP for the constant help for Asylum seekers.
Thank you for your kind words and for being part of ASAP's community!
Thank you very much for your hard work! Advocates and legal advisors just want to make money, they make mistakes and don't want to help you at all. This process they present as extremely difficult, something you cannot do without their help. But you guys do an excellent job and help so many people. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment! We do our best to provide useful information. It is true that there are attorneys and others who are not professional, knowledgeable, or ethical. And many times there ARE processes that someone seeking asylum can do themselves. But having a good attorney can also be very helpful. Our organization, ASAP, has compiled resources to help asylum seekers around the country to find high-quality nonprofit immigration assistance organizations or vetted, private immigration attorneys. You can find that guide here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/find-help/ And you can find more information about asylum and work permits on our website here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/
This information is very helpful, I so much appreciate ASAP for this.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate you!
Thanks ASAP for the good job that you are doing to assist Asylum seekers people.....

Thank you all ASAP for the help much appreciated
It is our honor and pleasure to provide information! We hope it is useful for you.
Unbelievable, I just received a notification by email from USCIS, my card has been picked up by USPS and will be delivered soon. Following ASAP instructions to renew my EAD has taken only 7 days for my new EAD to be approved, produced, and shipped. I truly recommend ASAP for renewing EAD.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Typically, it does take a longer time for a renewal work permit to be processed, sometimes a year or longer. It seems that your work permit was processed especially fast. Congratulations and we wish you all the best of luck!
Did you do it online or paper form?
@Andres Coronado I did everything on paper and send by mail. I just followed everything that ASAP is saying on this video.
@@cedricericnkazi9238 thank you!

Wonderful news, and thank you for being part of the ASAP community! We are glad that these videos have been useful to you!
Must it be done by mail?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! Asylum seekers can apply for their initial and renewal work permits online and by mail. For step-by-step instructions on how to fill out your work permit online, you can watch this video: ruclips.net/video/GVNysr3afeo/видео.html. For more information, you can visit our website of common work permit questions: help.asylumadvocacy.org/work-permits/

Thank you for the instructions. They are very helpful. Question: Do we need to renew EAD card for Kids under 7 years old? They already have their SSN and previous EAD cards. Thank you.
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! You may apply to renew the EAD (work permit) card for children under age 7. However, many parents choose not to, because the fee paid to the government to renew a card is $410 (or you can request a fee waiver). Because a child will not need a current, unexpired card in order to work, that may not be worth it. The social security card and number never expire even if the EAD card expires.
You can find more information about renewing work permit cards here:

Thank you for your help and support , just I need to know, how many copy of I 765 form should I submit to USCIS
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! You just need to submit one Form I-765. If you have family members who are applying for a work permit at the same time, each person needs to submit a separate Form I-765. You can find some more instructions here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/work-permits/#apply-how-to. You can also find legal help here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/find-help/. If you have more questions, you are welcome to email us at .
So thorough, thank you! Can you tell me if a work permit can be requested if an I589 has NOT been submitted yet and entered with the CBP1 app as an asylum seeker? It has already been the 150 days, its the first permit ever we're trying to get and are currently pending a court hearing.
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! If you received parole when you entered the United States and your parole is still valid, you can apply for a work permit under the “(c)(11) category”. There are some important differences between a work permit based on parole and a work permit based on an asylum application. You can find more information about those differences here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/work-permits/#other-parole. You can also find legal help here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/find-help/.

Thanks very much, this video is helpful, I would like to know please, can I type not applicable (N/A) or leave the blank empty, when the question isn't applied to me ???
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! Yes, for most answers, you can type "N/A" (for "not applicable") or "none" if there is a question that does not apply to you. If the question specifically has the words "(if any)" at the end, then you also have the option to leave it blank. An example would be this question on the form: "USCIS Online Account Number (if any)".

Thanks for the great video. Is it necessary to send a copy of ASAP card along with other documents?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! You are not required to include your ASAP membership card, but we recommend including it. This is because the government is delayed in processing many asylum seekers’ work permit cards and ASAP continues to fight for members’ work permits to be processed within 30 days.

Good afternoon, help me please. When filing Form I-765 online at the USCIS website, do spouses need to file forms separately? That is, my wife will also need to create her own USCIS account and file form and does she need to attach a marriage certificate at any of the points?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! Unfortunately, the online work permit application is a recent change and we do not have much information about it right now. Perhaps the safest thing to do is for your wife to create her own account and submit an application from there. A marriage certificate is not required for a work permit application.

ASAP members, I have a question, and thanks in advance for your reply. I have submitted my work permit application (paper based) about one month ago (more than 30 days) and I haven't received any document back yet (receipt). Now I've heard that asylum seekers (category c8) can apply online and the process is much faster but I don't know how correct it is for me to reapply if I already have a previous submission.

Hello! Thanks for your video and for such a detailed and slow speach.
But actually I have a question. What the difference between an online application through USCIS and your variant with envelop? What way will let me get my work permit and SSN faster?
Thank you for your comment and question! We are glad that you find the video helpful! You can apply either way, online or by mail. Both are permitted. However, many ASAP members report that their applications for a work permit and SSN (Social Security number) are processed faster when they apply online.

I have category c10 are they asking for a copy of passport??? Because in the pass i have never been ask can someone help me with this question? Please
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! For the “Form I-94 or Passport” category in the “Evidence” section, you can upload a copy of a Form I-94 or a passport (whether current or expired). If you do not have Form I-94 or a passport, you can try submitting a statement explaining that you do not have a Form I-94 or passport and attach a different form of ID.

I applied for the withdrawal of my previous i589 case and applied with a new one i589. Do I need to pay fees for first-time EAD with new i589? Do I need to show old EADs that were got based on old i589? Thank you!
Thank you for your question and for being part of the ASAP community! The answer to your question requires a more detailed response than we can post on RUclips, but you are welcome to email us at and you can include images of documents if helpful.

If your passport expires, should you still submit a copy or it has to be renewed first? Also can a copy of US driver's license be sent as ID?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! While it is best to use an unexpired passport, you can submit a copy of an expired one. However, if you do, it is best to also send a copy of another form of government-issued photo identification. You mention a U.S. driver's license. That would be an excellent example! Others can include national ID cards from your country of origin or even ID cards issued by a government (public) school. If in doubt, send copies of several forms of ID if you have them!

Hey ASAP
I got a question, it’s been 30 days since I got the receipt I-797c based on my asylum pending which is like my acceptance receipt to the work permit I filed but I haven’t gotten my EAD card what can I do and what may be the problem because on the uscis website it says the processing time is within 25 to 30 days ?
Thank you for your question and for being part of the ASAP community! We are sorry to hear your work permit is delayed! Unfortunately, we know that USCIS is delayed in processing many asylum seekers’ work permits. You can read more about what steps you can take here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/work-permits/#problems-delay. If you have specific questions about work permits, you are welcome to email us at . For specific advice regarding your case, you may wish to consult with an attorney. You can look for legal assistance here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/find-help/. You can also find more resources for asylum seekers on our website at help.asylumadvocacy.org.
which I-765 category to apply under If someone came through Mexico border and has I-220A and notice to appear?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! Generally, just receiving a Form I-220A or Notice to Appear by itself does not lead to a work permit. If you submit an application for asylum, you can apply for a work permit 150 days after, under category (c)(8). You may wish to consult with an attorney about the specific details of your case. You can find legal help here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/find-help/. If you have more questions, you are welcome to email us at .
Hi! I have a question this is for the people that just came through the us. Is it ok to submit their application online and do they need the fees as well. Your answer will be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! Any person seeking asylum can use the online system to apply for a work permit. However, to apply for a work permit based on asylum, a person must first apply for asylum and then wait at least 150 days. However, there are other types of work permit that someone who just arrived in the US may be eligible for.

thanks ASAP thanks to you I am doing my process myself because I do not have the resources so far to be able to pay a lawyer to do it, thanks for your information and guide us step by step I have a question I am a member of ASAP I must put my membership card at the end and why, thank you
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! At this time (October 2022) we recommend that ASAP members continue to submit ASAP membership cards with their work permit applications. Currently, both ASAP members and non-ASAP members are NOT receiving their initial work permits within 30 days. ASAP is fighting for our members’ initial work permits to be processed within 30 days! That is why we still recommend including ASAP membership cards, even though they do not currently guarantee 30-day processing.

When is the best time to extend the work permit card? A month before?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! ASAP recommends applying to extend your work permit card approximately 5 months before your current card expires.

However, even if you have only a month before your current card expires, you can still file to renew.

Please help it's an emergency, I submitted EAD renewal on Oct 15, 2023, and My current EAD expired on Oct 5th, 23. At the DMV they asked I-797 receipt notice to renew my DL. Will I get the hard copy of the I-797 Form by mail since i submitted it online? Will they deny b/s my EAD has expired before the submission?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! If you submitted your work permit application online, the receipt notice will be available in your online account. Unfortunately, because you submitted your renewal work permit application after your work permit expired, your work permit is not automatically extended. However, every state has different rules about driver’s license so you can still try to apply with the receipt notice. You can find more information about work permit renewals here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/work-permits/#renew. You can also find legal help here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/find-help/.

Thanks very much, I'm ASAP member, my question is could you show us how to apply for work permit online please ?
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! To apply online, go to this USCIS webpage: www.uscis.gov/file-online/forms-available-to-file-online. On that webpage, scroll down to where it says “I-765 | Application for Employment Authorization” and click “File Online.” You will need to create a USCIS Online Account. We do not have a video about the online application yet but we are hoping to make one in the future!

Hello, I filed asylum under Affirmative category, am currently on F1 status, Now when filing the section on CURRENT IMMIGRATION STATUS, What should I indicate? F1 or Asylum Seeker? Thank you.
Thank you for your question and for being part of ASAP’s community! You could list either, but it is probably best to list F1.

I’m filling like a dependent. My husband is the one who will it. Should I put his A number?
Thank you for your question and for being part of the ASAP community! No, you should not write husband’s A Number. If you received a biometrics notice for being a dependent on your husband’s asylum case, you should be able to find your own A Number there (example here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/asylum-application-biometrics-appointment/). If you do not have an A Number yet, you can write N/A. You can also find more information about completing your work permit application here: help.asylumadvocacy.org/work-permits/#apply-how-to.
