Employment Authorization Document is issued for a specific period of time based on alien's immigration situation. Generally it is valid for one year and has to be renewed. If an alien possess a valid EAD, he or she is authorized to freely work in the United States without having their employer to file a ''non-immigrant worker petition''. Currently EAD is issued in the form of a standard credit card-size plastic card enhanced with multiple security features. EAD card contains some basic information about alien: name, birth date, sex, immigrant category, country of birth and photo, alien registration number (A number), card number, restrictive terms and conditions and dates of validity. Although foreign nationals with EAD can lawfully work in the United States for any employer, it is also possible for an alien to work for a specific US employer without EAD (examples are H-1B , L-1 , or O-1 US visas).
