Applying for your U.S. work permit shouldn't feel scary. Work Permit AI turns the confusing USCIS Form I-765 into a simple conversation and hands you a clean, ready-to-sign PDF. You answer easy questions one at a time, by chat or voice, at your own pace. The app does the hard part and you always stay in control. HOW IT WORKS • Answer simple questions in plain language, type or talk, no legal jargon to decode • AI fills the official, fillable USCIS Form I-765 for you (the real PDF, with its barcode kept intact) • It checks your formatting, SSN, dates, A-Number and flags missing required fields before you file • Confused by a term like "eligibility category" or "A-Number"? It explains it in plain words • Questions that don't apply to you are skipped automatically • Review everything, then download your filing-ready PDF, print, sign, and mail it to USCIS yourself YOU STAY IN CONTROL • You review every answer before anything is final • Nothing is sent to USCIS by the app, you do the filing • Your information is protected and used only to help you fill out your form WHO IT'S FOR The Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is the U.S. work permit, and Form I-765 is how you ask for it. Work Permit AI is built for: • First-time work permit applicants and EAD renewals • DACA recipients • Students on OPT and STEM-OPT • Asylum seekers, TPS holders, and refugees • Green card (adjustment of status) applicants Built with limited-English readers in mind: warm, simple, and reassuring, every step explained. SAVE AND CONTINUE ANYWHERE Sign in with Apple or a quick email code. Your progress saves securely and syncs across devices, so you can start on your phone and finish later, nothing lost. SIMPLE, HONEST PRICING • Free to start, answer your first questions and see how it works at no cost • One-time $9.99, NOT a subscription, unlocks final review, your filing-ready PDF, and unlimited edits anytime You pay only for the assistant that helps you prepare the form, never for the form itself, and never for any government filing. The official Form I-765 is always FREE to download at uscis.gov, and any government filing fee is paid by you directly to USCIS. PLEASE READ • Work Permit AI is a self-help preparation tool. It is NOT a law firm and does NOT provide legal advice. • We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to USCIS or any government agency. • The official Form I-765 is available free at uscis.gov. You review, download, sign, and file it yourself, and pay any USCIS fees directly. • For legal questions about your case, please consult a licensed immigration attorney or an accredited representative. Take the fear out of your work permit. Answer a few simple questions, and walk away with an application you can feel good about.
