former Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and certain children of noncitizen nationals born abroad.

A lawful permanent resident: An individual who is not a U.S. citizen and who resides in the United States under legally

recognized and lawfully recorded permanent residence as an immigrant. This term includes conditional residents. Asylees and

If you select “lawful permanent resident,” enter your 7- to 9-digit Alien Registration Number (A-Number), including the

“A,” or USCIS Number in the space provided. When completing this field using a computer, use the dropdown provided

as the A-Number without the “A” prefix.

An alien authorized to work: An individual who is not a citizen or national of the United States, or a lawful permanent

resident, but is authorized to work in the United States.

If you select this box, enter the date that your employment authorization expires, if any, in the space provided. In most cases,

your employment authorization expiration date is found on the document(s) evidencing your employment authorization.

Refugees, asylees and certain citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or Palau,

and other aliens whose employment authorization does not have an expiration date should enter N/A in the Expiration Date

automatically extended; in these cases, you should enter the expiration date of the automatic extension in this space.
