You are already authorized to work in the United States if you are a citizen, a lawful permanent resident (i.e. a Green Card holder), or have nonimmigrant visa that authorizes you to work for a specific employer (for example, you have an H-1B, L-1B, O, or P visa) . However, if you are a refugee, asylum seeker, hold a U visa, have a pending Form I-485, (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), have a pending Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal) or have a nonimmigrant status that allows you to be in the United States but does not allow you to work in the United States without first seeking permission from USCIS (such as an F-1 or M-1 student), then you will need to apply for a “Work Authorization Document.” For more information please visit: https://www.uscis.gov/i-765.
