Employment in the U.S.

U.S. Employers are required to ensure all employees are authorized to work in the U.S. A U.S. Citizen does not need work authorization. A Lawful Permanent Resident is authorized to work in the U.S. and must show their Lawful Permanent Resident Card (LPR or green card) as authorization of their ability to work. If you are not a U.S. Citizen or a Lawful Permanent Resident, some people may be able to apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to be able to work in the U.S. Others may be able to work under a work visa.
