EAD Question

[HWANG0926 0]

ON THE USCIS WEBSITE:

If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, on July 30, 2007, or after, then no fee is required to file a request for employment authorization on Form I-765. You may file the I-765 concurrently with your I-485, or you may submit the I-765 at a later date. If you file Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485.

You may be eligible to file this form electronically. Please see the related link "Introduction to Electronic Filing" for more information.

When i file for I485 AOS for my fiance after our marriage takes place, and we also fill out the form for I-765 for EAD, WE DON'T HAVE TO SUBMIT THE FEE OF $340--- BUT if we decide to submit the I-765 after the initial submission of I-485, we must include the receipt ... do we still pay? or the fee is still waived ?

EAD concurrent or after the I-485 is fee waived.

NO

No fee needed for I-765 if it is included with the I-485 or is sent after filing the I-485, if filed AFTER filing I-485, you need to attached a copy of I-485 NOA1 letter.

On form I-765 line #16 note (C )(9 ) based on pending I-485.

NOTE: K-1 should NEVER attempt to file I-765 before AOS, the resulting EAD will be a 90 day EAD based on the entry date of the K-1 holder, a USELESS waste of $340.

The fee for EAD (I-765) is included in I-485 AOS fee.

The receipt they are talking about it is the receipt I-797 NOA1 for I-485.

so they can confirm your payment for I-485.

When we file for AOS, do we include everything inside one package and everything (I485 + I864+ I765 +I131) included listed on the cover page?

What about pictures requested ?

I'm just trying to become a little more familiar with the AOS Process... since fiance is coming next month... he wants to be prepared so we know what to do.

What about pictures requested ? 2 each for I-485, I-765, I-131 for a total of 6

So I should have 3 ---- COVER PAGES instead of 1 right?

I should have like 3 big binder clips but all 3 sets of forms are being sent off to the same location inside one envelope ?

I did one comprehensive cover page but 3 individuals would work

Assembled separately but included in one envelope is the suggested method

If you file all together, there is instructions for special mailing address from instructions.

If I were you, I will write single cover letter to have all listed.

Also for advise, when your sweetie come, let him read all instructions and preparations.

He needs to be familiar with the process by himself.

First thing he needs to learn is to read all documents/instructions not to miss any fine print.

If you do it by yourself, you can same a little bit of time, but it may not help him to learn things in American Way.

For first 5~6 years, I did read all instructions for immigration forms, tax forms, and a couple of books regarding immigration borrowed from local library.

you can search vj for an examole cover letter.

Moonhunt,

Your advise is great! I know... sometimes i'm super overprotective over him... I think since he's moving here for me... i should just take care of him which includes making sure he receives his green card & work permit. I think he's eager to complete the process because... as a man... flip this around because i think its OK for girls to stay home and live off of the guy... but if it was the opposite way around & .. BEING korean... u know how much pride korean guys have ~~~ so. i think he's really concerned about how long it would take for him to finally complete this process.

I already forwarded all of the instructions & forms from USCIS.GOV for him... but he's never lived outside of Seoul before.. He's studied abroad in UK... It's just going to take time...

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome?

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome?

Sometimes I felt like that I may need some privacy.

Sometimes I felt lonely because most of my friends are in South Korea.

I live in rural area, where not many Asian people live.

Actually a lot of kids are looking back to see me again since they are seeing asian guy in first time for their life. ^^

You can do things for him since he is new in this area, but sometimes you have to give something for him to play with.

Yes, I know. I'm the one of guys from Kyungsangdo.

When you make some decision, you can keep asking his opinion, so he can feel like decision maker.

Usually wife in the family is the queen, and husband is a kind of servant to the queen.

Keep maintaining communication between two of you, and give some time for adjustment.

He will be fine.

Give some time to understand better by himself.

Keep dealing with USCIS, government, and job market may require patience.
