美國工作 | Form I-765填寫教學--J2 EAD申請－克萊兒的冒險旅程

J2需取得EAD(Employment Authorization Document)才能在美國合法工作，而EAD通常要提出申請後的2~3個月左右才會核發，因此我一入境美國就趕快送交申請文件。CV和Resume之後有很多時間再慢慢修改....

相關表格需上USCIS下載最新版本填寫，以下說明版本可使用至2018/2/28

STEP 1: 填寫Form I-765

Form I-765是美國工卡申請表格，可以打完再列印(黑墨水)或是印出填寫(黑筆)，以下是這次申請J2 EAD填寫說明:

第一部分:

下圖是由美國移民局填寫，直接跳過

第二部分:

I am applying for:
[ ] Permission to accept employment (第一次申請EAD選這個)
[ ] Replacement (最近期申請的EAD效期未到但遺失了，申請重發一張和之前效期一樣的EAD。但通常不如直接申請張新的，有效期應該會較長)
[ ] Renewal of my permission to accept employment (之前申請過EAD，為了延續效期通常會在目前EAD到期前2-3個月展期，但不能早於180天。根據網友經驗，因申請人不能在表格上指定EAD生效日期，卡片可能從上一張卡失效之日開始生效，也可能從批准之日開始生效。

1 - 8. 是個人資料填寫
要注意的是寄送地址最好是2~3個月內不會異動，因為之後會寄送EAD Card到此地址

9. Social security number
美國社會安全密碼，若無則填寫[N/A]

10. Alien Registration Number (A-Number) or Form I-94 Number (if any)
外國人登記號碼或是I-94的號碼，在I-94上找

11. Have you ever before applied for employment authorization from USCIS?
是否曾申請過EAD?
[Yes] 之前申請過EAD，不管你的EAD有無用過，需提供以下訊息(參考當時的批准書填寫)及有關文件(其他需提供附件請參考STEP 3)

Which USCIS Office
Date 是指Approval Date，如果找不到日子，就填年份就好。
