i-765 Required?

[kristianw 0]

Hello All,

I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. I tried to running a search within the forum regarding this the topic but came up empty.

So here's my question:

I recently renewed my TN visa for 3 years and currently have 2 years left. My wife, who's american, and I recently got married. We are in the middle of completing forms i-130 and i-485 respectively. Do we still need to file the i-765 form? I read the section on "who may file this form". Under the T1 Non-immigrant section it says to file this only if you are looking at requesting a renewal or replacement of an employment authorization document. I don't require a renewal for another 2 years, and I'm thinking that a replacement of employment authorization document is not required as I have those stapled to my passport. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Kristian

As you already have work authorization, you don't need it Good luck!

Oh, and head over to this forum, which is for adjusting from work, student, and tourist visas, as this forum here is for people adjusting from K-visas... I know they are confusing! There are others adjusting from TN visas there, and they can share their experiences with you.

** moved from "Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from Family Based Visas" to "Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas" as you are adjusting from a TN visa and the prior forum is for K1, K2, K3 & K4 **
