In this video, we will be discussing an important topic that can help a lot of people struggling to get their work authorization in the U.S.
It's called the compelling circumstances provision, and we'll dive into the details of how it works, who's eligible, and how to apply for it.
The video discusses the Compelling Circumstances provision,
which allows non-immigrants waiting for their green cards in the US to apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) based on certain circumstances such as illness, employer retaliation, criticality to the employer, or the employer going out of business.
Eligible non-immigrants with valid visas and approved petitions can apply for an EAD card even if their case is not current due to a backlog.
The EAD card can be used for any employment in the US, and to apply, one needs to file Form I-765 along with supporting documents.
The Compelling Circumstances provision is a useful tool for non-immigrants awaiting their green cards to continue working in the US.
