So I have a serious question. I'm f-1 student that came to United States legally. But due to some financial issues I got outta status and been outta status for about 2 years now. Me and my wife recently got married and we having a baby on the way. So I filed my I-130 and been approved. But right now I can't file I-485 because of how pricey it is. So I was wondering if I could file I-765 (work permit) before filing my I-485 form. So I could start working and save up some money to file I-485. Thanks for all the answers. I really appreciate it!

Under what other eligibility category could you possibly file, other than adjustment applicant (c )(9 )? You file the I-765 along with the I-485.

no, you cannot do what you are proposing.

best borrow the money if need be and file your aos papers as soon as possible so you can get back into status.

good luck.

It won't work. Your I-765 application will be based on your I-485 which will also be based on your spouses I-130 petition . That's why you will use the category, © (9). So best bet is, wait a bit, find the money and file all together
