Working in the U.S.

Many nationals from different countries want to come to the U.S. to work, the pad to do so is through employment-based nonimmigrant and immigrant visa classifications. Depending on the classification you seek, your application might require the sponsorship of a U.S. employer. If you are in the U.S, including if you are an applicant for permanent residence or a family member of an individual who has lawful nonimmigrant status, you can apply for Employment Authorization (EAD). The conditions you must meet and how long you can work in the U.S. depend on the type of immigration status the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will grant you.
