Every year, thousands of immigrants in the United States apply for their Employment Authorization Document (EAD), but many face delays due to simple errors in their forms.

A small mistake can mean months of additional waiting, lost employment opportunities, and unnecessary stress for your family.

• •**1. Signing with wrong date or missing signature** - Form must be signed with the date you're mailing it.
• •**2. Using old or incomplete address** - USCIS can't send your EAD if address is wrong.
• •**3. Not including copy of identification documents** - Passport, birth certificate, or other required documents.
• •**4. Submitting old version of Form I-765** - USCIS automatically rejects outdated forms.
• •**5. Wrong payment amount or invalid check** - Verify current fees at uscis.gov before sending.
• •**6. Not marking correct eligibility category** - Each visa type or status has a specific code.
• •**7. Photos that don't meet requirements** - Must be recent, white background, specific dimensions.
• •**8. Not including evidence of immigration status** - Depending on your case, you need to show your visa, I-94, or asylum documents.

• •Always use the current version of the form (download from uscis.gov).
• •Ensure all documents are legible (not blurry or cut off).
• •Keep copies of everything sent for your personal file.
• •Review your eligibility category before sending - each category has specific requirements.
