Procedure For Replacement Of Employment Pass
There can be situations where you may need to replace your employment pass. In such cases, you will have to follow the below-mentioned steps:
Step 1:
Identify the reason for replacing your lost employment pass
One doesn’t need to replace his/her lost employment permit. If an individual is already working, he/she does not have to inform the employer about the lost work permit. But, if the employee is asked to prove his employment, then he/she will have to submit their employment pass.
The new and replaced employment pass is received in 12-18 weeks. There are some positions like the DACA which require the beneficiary to re-apply for an employment permit each year. In such cases, the best option is to wait for 1-2 months to re-apply for the immigration position. The renewal cost of the employment pass remains the same for DACA.
Step 2:
Issue Form I-765, the employment authorization application
An application package is prepared and submitted to replace the stolen or lost employment pass. One should ensure that it is specified on the application that it is for the replacement of the employment pass. To send this request, one will have to include the following details in the application package:
- Form I-765 Worksheet (postponed action candidates only)
- Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization
- Proof of lawful entry (i.e., I-94 entry/exit record)
- A photocopy of the stolen/lost employment pass
- USCIS recording fees
If you do not have the photocopy of your lost employment pass, then attach a copy of any other official identity paperwork. The examples of acceptable data include the copy of any amongst the below-mentioned list:
- Your birth certificate with a photograph ID
- Your passport with your name, DOB, and pictures
- Visa filed through a foreign embassy
- A national ID paper with your fingerprint and your picture
- 2 alike passport-type, colored pictures of the candidate captured in a month of application filing
- A photocopy of the document, order, or notice, showing the candidate’s immigration status.
Based on the applicant’s eligibility position and the replies on Form I-765, extra stuff might be incorporated when issuing Form I-765. To prepare the form one can refer to the guidelines on the official site of USCIS.
Step 3:
Request Expedited Administering (if needed)
Replacing a misplaced employment permit can take many weeks. Nevertheless, if you can demonstrate a reasonable and urgent necessity, USCIS may accelerate your application. USCIS examines all expedited applications on a specific instance approach, and the choice to approve or refuse an expedite petition is founded on factors and is solely at USCIS’s judgment.
You must demonstrate that you have an immediate need that is beyond your hands. A pending work offer (demonstrated by a company’s invitation letter) to protect your family could suffice, providing you did not postpone your registration. In other terms, if you delayed several times to restore your card after it was stolen, USCIS will most certainly deny your speedy request.
One can call USCIS’s helpline to place a request. Keep your form’s request number handy when you call the USCIS. When an applicant calls the contact center to accelerate the process, the USCIS sends a request to the administration which is followed by the jurisdiction to replace a stolen or a lost employment pass.
