Forms for work authorization, employment-based petitions, and employer verification. Includes I-9 (Employment Eligibility), I-129 (Work Visas), I-140 (Immigrant Petition), and I-765 (Work Permit).
Employment-based immigration forms cover everything from verifying a new hire's right to work to sponsoring foreign workers for visas and Green Cards. Form I-9 is required for every new hire in the United States. Form I-129 is used by employers to petition for temporary nonimmigrant workers (H-1B, L-1, O-1, and other visa categories). Form I-140 is the first step for employment-based Green Cards. Form I-765 is used to apply for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs/work permits). These forms interact with multiple government agencies including USCIS, ICE, and the Department of Labor.
