EAD W/O AOS

[beback 0]

I have a question, one of my friend keep on insisting that we can apply EAD without filling the AOS, is this true?

Read the instructions on the EAD form. It clearly states that you need evidence of filing for AOS. Your friend is dreaming.

Ya maybe your right Peter,maybe my friend is dreaming. Peter,can you give me the information or the instruction for filling the EAD?

Actually, you can apply for EAD based on K1 status. It expires when your K1 does, and takes as long to process as a regular EAD. That means that by the time you get it, you have about a week and a half to use it in most cases.

Most people consider it not worth the bother - or the money

If you fly in through JFK, you can get the EAD stamp in your passport. That also expires at the end of the 90 day K1 period.

Your friend is not dreaming as someone says. I applied for EAD without applying for AOS myself.

That is a choice you only can make.

How you figure? did you get approved? Did you apply on a k1 visa? Do tell us. I'd like to hear about this.

I understand that only those with K-3s can apply for EAD without AOS (if they are processing CR-1/IR-1 visas in their home country consulates). For K1, you need to file EAD with or after filing for AOS.

[ChristinaM 0]

That's not true, kc. K1 is entitled to EAD. Just for the reasons I outlined above, most people don't bother unless they can get the stamp from JFK.

Also, if you get K1 work authorisation, you have to stop working when your I-94 expires until you receive your AOS-pending c(9) EAD.

I am sorry to soar your hopes 'MYLOVE'

I did not notice the fact that you were asking about K1. Although I came here first on a K1 visa I had to get K3 because I had to return to my home country before adjustment.

Therefore I applied for EAD without AOS based on K3 status.

Again I am sorry to soar your hopes.

However as you know both K1 and K3 petitioners use the form I 129F, the same form. a(6)

You have to get married within 90 days of entry and apply for AOS.

Apply under category (a)(6)
