Form I-765 for Hungarian Village Residents
Hungarian Village residents filing I-765 for work authorization, travel documents, or green card renewals submit through USCIS regional service centers — not the local field office. We prepare I-765 for residents across Columbus Metro, including I-765 work permits, I-131 advance parole, and I-90 green card renewals. Most I-765 filings include a biometrics appointment at the Columbus ASC.
Our office serves Hungarian Village applicants throughout Franklin County. Clients often come to us after receiving a USCIS notice, preparing for a family petition, renewing documents for work, or trying to understand which records must be translated before filing.
Practical Filing Guide
What this Form I-765 page helps you understand
Form I-765 is used to request an Employment Authorization Document, commonly called a work permit.
Applicants with pending green card, asylum, TPS, DACA, parole, or other qualifying categories may use it when eligible.
We verify the eligibility code before preparing the form because the same I-765 form is used for many different immigration paths.
We make sure the mailing address is reliable for USCIS notices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a work permit (EAD) in Columbus, Ohio?+
USCIS currently processes Form I-765 in approximately 3–5 months depending on your eligibility category. If you are filing a renewal and your current EAD is about to expire, file at least 6 months before expiration. Asal Multi Services can file your renewal at the right time and help request expedited processing if you have an urgent employment need.
Can I start working as soon as I file for a work permit?+
No. You cannot work until USCIS approves your I-765 and issues your Employment Authorization Document (EAD card). Your employer must verify your work authorization through Form I-9 once you receive the card. Working without a valid EAD is a violation of immigration law.
What is the difference between an EAD and a green card for work purposes?+
Both allow you to work legally in the U.S., but an EAD (work permit) is temporary and must be renewed, while a green card gives you permanent work authorization that does not need to be renewed for work purposes (though the green card itself expires). If your I-485 is approved, you will receive a green card and will no longer need to renew your EAD.
My work permit is expiring and my renewal is taking too long — what can I do?+
If you filed your I-765 renewal at least 90 days before expiration and USCIS has not issued a decision within 180 days, you may be eligible for an automatic 540-day extension in many EAD categories (under a rule effective May 2024). Asal Multi Services can review your specific situation and help you request a case inquiry or expedite if needed.
