Temp EAD at JFK & I-765

[Thailand Lovers 0]

My K-1 fiancee and I will be arriving at JFK airport soon, and she would like to immediately receive a temporary EAD from immigration. Should she present a completed Form I-765 to the immigration officer? If so, then what should be the answer to question #16 ("Eligibility Category")? Also, is the answer to question #10 ("Alien Registration Number") the same beneficiary number, beginning with an A followed by nine digits, that she received during the K-1 application process? Finally, will she need to present any supporting materials to get the temporary EAD?

They should just stamp the passport with the temporary stamp. The I-765 is only needed later on when you are applying for permanent EAD alongside filing for AOS.

My K-1 fiancee and I will be arriving at JFK airport soon, and she would like to immediately receive a temporary EAD from immigration. Should she present a completed Form I-765 to the immigration officer?No. (The temp. EAD stamp is almost routinely given - if not, she can ask for it. If so, then what should be the answer to question #16 ("Eligibility Category")? As shown in the Example Form her eligibility category is "C 9". Also, is the answer to question #10 ("Alien Registration Number") the same beneficiary number, beginning with an A followed by nine digits, that she received during the K-1 application process? Yes - A# is her Alien Registration Number. Finally, will she need to present any supporting materials to get the temporary EAD? No

My SO came through JFK a short time ago and they just stamped it in his passport on the back side of the I-94. He didnt even have to ask for it.
