Work Authorization

Who commonly uses it. Someone who needs permission to work in the United States — including people with an adjustment of status application pending, students on practical training, and several other categories.

Official form and instructions: USCIS — I-765. Clarenor is not affiliated with USCIS.

• 12 intake questions written for this form — not a generic questionnaire. The questions are grouped into 3 sections.
• A document checklist of 9 items, each explained, with 5 marked required.
• Automatic saving. You can start now and come back later; nothing is lost.
• A consistency check. We compare your own answers and documents against each other and show you anything that does not add up.
• A human Case Guide review on the Reviewed and Full Service packages: a person reads your answers and documents and tells you what is missing.
• Escalation rules specific to this service. 4 circumstances that need a person are flagged for human review rather than decided by software.

What you are asking for

Seeing the questions before you start is deliberate. You should know what you are being asked and why before you pay for anything.

• Government-issued photo identification Required
• Two passport-style photographs Required
• Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record Required
• Front and back of your current or previous work permit (not required for everyone)

Documents are stored privately and are never publicly accessible. Only you and the Case Guide working on your case can open them, and you can replace or delete anything you upload.

1. Choose a package. You see exactly what each includes and what it does not before you pay.
2. Answer the questions. Save at any point and return later.
3. Upload your documents against the checklist.
4. Pay. Payment is what places your case with a Case Guide. You are not charged before this step, and you pay the government fee separately to USCIS.
5. A Case Guide reviews your case for completeness and consistency and tells you what is missing.
6. You revise if asked, then a final readiness review completes the case.

Why this price. The eligibility category determines the evidence, so review time varies. Priced at the lower end.

USCIS filing fees are not included and are paid by you, directly to USCIS. Clarenor never collects a government fee on your behalf. Each package states its full refund terms on the service page.

Choosing the wrong eligibility category is one of the most common causes of a rejected work permit application, and the category also determines whether you pay a fee. We confirm the category with you rather than assuming it. Any criminal history or prior removal proceedings are flagged for human review.

Clarenor does not file your application: you file it yourself. We do not represent you before USCIS and we do not provide legal advice.

If this matches your situation, you can see the packages and begin. If you are not sure whether this is the right form, contact us and a person will help you work it out.
