Step 1 of 3 · Identify your route
Prepare your renewal
Confirm your route and continue. We do not decide if you qualify.
We only cover adult renewals for (c)(8) and (c)(9). You can generate the official Form I-765 to review and sign it by hand; you submit it to USCIS and decide the channel.
Which category appears on your current permit?
Look for the category on your EAD card. If your situation changed or you are not sure, indicate so.
You came from the category page (c)(8). Is this the one that corresponds to your situation today?

Route (c)(8) — Pending asylum application.
Category (c)(8) corresponds to those who have a pending asylum application (Form I-589) and are requesting a work permit based on that pending application.
This is general information from official sources, not verification of your case.
