EAD and TPS are USCIS. Signing an I-9 is not a permit.
I-765 is the work-permit form. TPS is I-821 — check the live designation list. We link the official pages. We do not file. The employer still wants Section 1; free deletes that PDF in 9 days.
The problem
TPS and parole headlines bury the I-9. People download a random I-765 and think e-sign equals an EAD. It doesn't. Designations and editions change (USCIS rejected old I-765 editions after 15 Sep 2026).
The Docracy way
File I-765 / I-821 on myaccount.uscis.gov from the current USCIS edition. Sign the official I-9 here for the employer. Unlock Paid so that I-9 is still here when they ask. We do not grant work authorization and we do not run E-Verify.
