Work permits and visas
Keep your permit valid, and your paycheck steady
A permit that expires before the renewal is approved can cost a job. We file early, track the dates and tell you what to do if the agency is slow.
What we file
Work permit renewals (Form I-765)
DACA renewals, and first requests if the program allows them
Employer-sponsored work visas for workers and families
Changes of status for students, spouses and dependents
Letters for employers who need proof of work authorization
By situation
Three ways people come to us for work papers
Different paths, one habit: we put the expiration date on our calendar the day you hire us.
- I-765
Renewing a permit
We recommend filing as soon as the agency allows. We assemble photos, copies and the form, and track the receipt.
- DACA
Deferred action (DACA)
We review your history, confirm what the program currently allows and prepare the request with its supporting records.
- I-129
A job offer from a company
We talk with the employer or its HR team about which visa fits the job, what they file and what stays on your side.
Time matters
If your permit is about to lapse
Call before it expires, not after. Depending on your category, an automatic extension may apply, and your employer may need a specific document to keep you on payroll.
Bring the permit, the receipt notice if you have one, and the name and address of your employer.
Work permit questions
How early can I renew?
The agency sets a window before the expiration date. We tell you the exact date for your category and put it on our calendar.
Does my employer have to be involved?
For a renewal or DACA, no. For an employer-sponsored visa, yes: the company files part of the case and pays certain costs.
Will traveling affect my permit?
It can. Some permits and programs limit travel, and leaving without advance permission can end your status. Ask us before you buy a ticket.
