Do I need Employment Authorization/

[gnb 0]

Hi!

I need some help! I came to the US via L-1 transfer from England to the office in the US. My husband dated three years but the L-1 Visa was very fast. I got it within a month.

Now that we are married in the US, I am going to apply for adjustment of status. Do I need to fill in I-765 for Employment authorization?

I think the following forms my husband and I need to fill in. Can someone confirm if I got all the forms or if I miss any?

I130 Form Petition

I485 Adjustment of status

I325A Bio for my husband

I325A Bio for me

I765 Employment Authorisation

I864 Affidavit

I 131 Travel document

Thanks for your help!

It doesnt hurt to fill it out since it will give you a 1 year work permit completely linked to this new process you are about to start, besides, it is free. Just make sure to write all the correct information

I'm hoping somebody more knowledgeable will reply. As I understand it, any L or H visa becomes invalid as soon as you submit an I-765. You can keep your L1 visa and just file for AOS. Your L1 can continue to serve as your authorization to work and to travel overseas.

But, as I premised in my reply, I am not very sure about this. I suggest that you do more searching on VJ regarding your situation before filing the I-765 and I-131.
