I-765, Questions 11 and 16 for an H1B visa holder

[kumar1234 0]

FYI: I am on H1B, wife's a USC. We're filing I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131.

Link to I-765: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765.pdf

Linke to I-765 instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf

Question 11: Have you ever before applied to employment authorization from USCIS?

Confusion: I have H1B so I am tempted to check "yes". Is that correct? If correct, how would I find "which USCIS office" and "dates" (remaining fields in Question 11).

Also, what all documents should I attach?

Question 16: Go to part 2 of the instructions (see the second link above) and identify eligibility category (e.g. (a)(8), ©(17)(iii) etc)

Confusion: which category should I fill in? I looked at all the categories under "Family Based Non-immigrant Categories" but couldn't understand which one applies to me. I am an H1B married to a USC.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks payxibka.

Just to make sure - would C9 apply to someone on H1B?

Thanks payxibka.

C9 applies to someone who is applying for EAD based on a pending I-485 regardless of current status.

For question 11... check NO unless if you have applied for an EAD card before.

C9 is for anyone who is adjusting based on marriage to an USC.
