I-765 and OPT question

[Istan-ns 0]

Hi Everyone,

I am sure this has been asked, but I could not find it when I did a search.

My wife and I just got married about two weeks ago after she arrived on our K1 Visa. She is applying for the 485, 131 (traveling thing), and I-765. She is trying to figure out the I765 and her F-1 OPT

We met over 6 years ago when she went to graduate school in California. She graduated and worked for about 5 months in Indiana. She went back to Japan for four yeas and than we got engaged when I went there last year.

Should we include her OPT with the I765? I am guessing yes, but wanted to confirm it here.

Thanks!

Hello there, congratulations on your marriage!, i'm also filing for all those forms, i filled out my i765 form yesterday, these are the things she will need to send along with the i765:

• Copy of last Employment Authorization Document (card and paper)

• Two identical Photographs taken within 30 days of filing application. Photos must have a white to off-white background be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish. Passport style photos must be 2” by 2” . when she has the pictures write name on the back and A#

No Fee is required when filing with Residence form

By the way how long did it take for your wife to recieve her K-1 visa after you filed? my fiancee and i are getting married this month but are a little scared because I'm here with a tourist visa, attended college for 4 years herein the US , when i graduated i applied for OPT and worked here for a year, it expired december 2008 and came back to the states february 14 to help my bestfriend plan her wedding and look for colleges to do my masters degree, while being in the States that's when my fiancee proposed and we decided we wanted to get married... Please let me know how long it took for her to get the K-1 i don't want to risk out case! i hope the info i provided was helpful !
