EAD

EAD, or Employment Authorization Document, is an official government-issued card that proves a person is legally allowed to work in the United States. It is typically granted to individuals who are in certain immigration situations, such as those waiting for permanent residency or asylum. The EAD provides temporary work authorization, enabling the holder to seek and accept employment legally. It also serves as identification when applying for jobs and benefits. Essentially, the EAD is a work permit that ensures compliance with immigration laws while individuals pursue their employment opportunities in the U.S.
