Work Authorization (EAD) While Awaiting Citizenship

Work Authorization (EAD) While Awaiting Citizenship

Don't Stop Working

Your Green Card is your work authorization. Even while citizenship is processing, you can legally work. Green Card = unrestricted work permit.

If Green Card Expires

Apply for renewal (I-90) before expiration. Expired card still shows prior authorization while renewal pending.

After Citizenship

You no longer need work authorization. US citizenship = unlimited right to work anywhere without special permits.
