Can you get a temporatry work permit if your green card has expired?

If your green card has expired, you generally cannot obtain a temporary work permit based solely on that status. However, if you have applied for a green card renewal or replacement and have a pending application, you may be eligible to apply for a work permit (Employment Authorization Document, EAD) while your application is being processed. It's important to consult with an Immigration attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
