about application of employment authorization for teen agers

[lavv 0]

Hello,

We are sending concurrent filing for my daughters, they are 14 and 16. Question, do they need to file for the application of employment authorization (I-765)? Do they need to have this even after they get their green card?

Thank you!!!

Welcome to the forum.

With the employment authorization I-765 document your daughters will be able to obtain their SSNs. K2s need either their EAD or GC in order to apply for SSN. After they receive their GC there will no need for the EAD.

I am assuming that they are K2s, your timeline is absent. It helps everyone that uses the forum, or is helped by the forum.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Hello Pitaya 1 more question, should I file the i-765 also for my 6 year old son, so that he can get the SSN?

Why not? Assuming you are going to send in with his AOS packet. There is no extra charge for EAD or AP document(s) if concurrently filed with AOS. It is good for your son to get his SSN, that number seems to be the driving force behind other processes.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

They are adjusting from tourist visas, not K-2 visas, but the answer is the same. No fees for the I-765 or I-131 when filed concurrently, or after the I-485 while it is still pending. They can get an SSN with the EAD and older children can even get a job, if they wish.
