Renewals take time to process, so filing well before your current approval expires protects your work permit. We recommend starting the paperwork about five months ahead.
A renewal is usually simpler than the first application, but any arrest or citation since your last approval needs a careful review before filing.
Keep copies of every approval notice and work permit you have received. They make each renewal faster and help if any question comes up about your history.
If your approval is close to expiring, call us. There are still steps that can reduce the gap in your work authorization.
