I-765 e-file

[dkrivosheyev 0]

We are getting ready to file for AOS. While reading instructions for I-765 employment authorization, I've noticed that it is possible to e-file it. Has anyone done it before? Or do we need to file a paper I-765 if we file it concurrently with I-485?

Thank you!

Yes, it has been used, but it's kind of pointless. The e-filed petition has to be followed up by other paper documents and passport photos, so it doesn't seem to save any time.

I got through to an officer at the help-line (the customer service person escalated my call) and she told me they would take my photo at my biometrics appointment so I didn't need to send passport photos. I e-filed my EAD last night and when I checked the status this morning it was already on the system:

Yes it can be done,I myself would not do it though due to the fact that you have so many other documents to submit with the AOS.I would just send it "all in one go"
