Work Permit Application Guidelines

Summary

Each individual must apply for their own work permit in the US, including children. The (a)(10) category for certain granted asylum applicants does not allow dependents to be added. In Kentucky, minors aged 14-17 need a work permit for employment, issued by the Kentucky Labor Cabinet, with the employer usually responsible for obtaining it. If your asylum application was denied, you might not be eligible for an (a)(10) EAD, but consult a legal expert for specific advice.
