EAD (Employment Authorization Document)

EAD Case Management for Immigration Law Firms

US Immigration AI collects EAD documents, pre-fills the EAD application from intake data, and assembles each case into an attorney-ready packet. Your firm reviews and files every one.

Keep Every EAD Filing Basis and Card Date in One Client File

Every EAD case runs on its own filing basis, and since automatic extensions ended, a late renewal now means a real work gap. US Immigration AI keeps the basis, card dates, and underlying case together in one file, so your team builds every packet from the same record.

One client record holds the filing basis, the current card's dates, and the case the request depends on.
Staff stop rebuilding the same application details each time a client comes back for a renewal.
Attorneys open a checked file instead of hunting for the page that went missing.
New requests and renewals follow the same steps, so nothing rides on one paralegal's memory.
See how one client file tracks the filing basis and card dates for every EAD case.

One Application, a Different Document Set for Every Filing Basis

The application is the same, but the evidence behind it is not. Checklists match each client's filing basis, and your attorneys can always add or remove requests.

Pending Adjustment of Status (c)(9)

Collect the receipt notice for the underlying green card application, passport and I-94 records, photos, and any prior card. Keep the EAD request in the same client file as the adjustment packet.

Pending Asylum (c)(8)

Collect the asylum filing receipt, identity documents, and copies of any earlier cards. Missing items are flagged before your attorney reviews the file.

H-4 Spouse and F-1 Student Categories

Collect I-94 records, approval notices, and the school or employer documents each category relies on. H-4 spouses file under (c)(26); F-1 OPT students file under a different code, and each client sees only the requests that match theirs.

Renewals

Collect a copy of the expiring card, earlier receipt notices, and updated identity documents. Reminders keep going out until every file is uploaded, so the packet is ready while the 180-day filing window is open.

What the Platform Handles for EAD Cases

Each card below is a stage your EAD files move through. The last one is always your attorney.
  • Application Pre-Fill
  • Intake Records the Filing Basis
  • Consistency Flags
  • Combined Packet Assembly
  • Add-On Matters Under One Client

Have Every EAD Packet Ready Before the Card Expires

A work permit that arrives late means a client who cannot work. Give your team a process that gets each packet to attorney review early.

  • Date conflicts and blank fields found at the last minute

  • EAD packets built by hand beside the green card filing

Why It Works

Why Firms Handle EAD Cases on US Immigration AI

Three things set the platform apart from a general case tool or a shared drive full of scans. None of them are marketing claims your firm can't check for itself.

Built for Immigration Filings

The platform is built around USCIS filings rather than adapted from a general case tool. Its intake, drafting, and assembly steps follow the way immigration packets are actually prepared.

Attorney Review on Every File

The platform prepares and flags each packet. The judgment call always stays with a licensed attorney at your firm, built into how the system works rather than added as a policy note.

Certified Security for Sensitive Records

EAD files hold passports, I-94 records, and identity documents. The platform maintains SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, with role-based access and audit logs.
