Hi everyone, I hope someone on this forum can help us. My fiance arrived from England about a week and a half ago. His POE was JFK so he was able to get the temporary EAD stamp in his passport/I-94 which should allow him to work for the first 90 days. However, he spoke to a temp agency today and they said he has to have the form I-765 in order for him to work...

Is this correct? Can't he just show them the stamp and be allowed to work?

They are incorrect, the temp EA stamp on the I-94 is good enough for him to work for the first 90 days. After that though, he'll need an I-765 (EAD).

Minor point of clarification: The EA card is I-688B. I-765 is the application form for an I-688B.

Actually I-688B is the old EAD that they no longer issue. The EAD is actually called I-766.

The I-688B is the version they used to produce at field offices, as they don't give out EADs at field offices any more, the I-766 is what people get now.
