question 16 of I-765

[alienlovechild 75]

Hey guys! I am filling out the form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization as part and parcel for my AOS Application. I entered US last Sept 2, 2008 with K-1 status but I did not file for an EAD immediately when I arrived here, that supposedly would classify me for category (a)(6). It made me confused on what code answer should I fill out in question 16 of I-765 form, given with the two choices of codes as the answer ©(9) or (a)(6). I am considering

(a)(6) as the category that applies on me but I am not quite sure. So which is which? Please .

K-1's are always ( C ) ( 9 )

K-1's are always ( C ) ( 9 )

From the instructions for form I-765

I am filling Eunices out today.

"K-1 Nonimigrant Fiance(e) of U.S. Citizen or K-2 Depent-- (a) (6) File your EAD application

if you are filing within 90 days from the date of entry. This EAD cannot be renewed. Any EAD

application other than for a replacement must be based on your pending application for

adjustment under ©(9)."

This is just clear as mud.

I would say under 90 days and filing with I-485 as I am doing today it is (a)(6),

past 90 days and filing alone it is is © (9)

If you put the 6, they will send it back to you. Learned the hard way.

AS I said this is clear as mud.

Is it (a)(6) when filed with the I-485 and © (9) when filed seperately

or © (9) for all aplications??

This is giving me a head ache.

By the way , you can get a duplicate approval notice Form I-797 by submitting a Form I-824 and paying a $340 fee.

Did you file the Ead with the I485 or at a later date?

Its ( c) (9). This is one of my mistakes in filing I-765 concurrently with I-485. And because of this mistake I ended up with having TWO EAD cards in my hand. Anyways its a long story. But I dont know if its a good thing but I guess it is because i have two blessings.lol . Anyways again, its ( c) (9)
