Work Permits & Travel Documents in Queens, NY.
While a case is pending, the documents that let you earn a living and travel matter as much as the green card at the end of it. We file employment authorization and advance parole alongside the main application where that is available, and we watch renewal dates so a lapse never costs you your job.
- Employment authorization filed with the underlying case
- Advance parole for travel while a case is pending
- Renewals filed early enough to avoid a gap
- Re-entry permits for extended time abroad
- Straight answers on when travel is and is not safe
Common questions
How soon can I work?
Only once employment authorization is actually approved, not when it is filed. Processing times move around, so file as early as your case allows and plan on the document, not the receipt.
Can I travel while my green card case is pending?
Not safely without the right document first. Leaving without advance parole can be treated as abandoning your application, and in some situations it triggers a bar on returning. Always ask us before you book.
My work permit is about to expire. What now?
Call the office now rather than after it lapses. Renewals need lead time, and there is a great deal more we can do for you before the expiry date than after it.
