What would be my answer to the following query below!

I have applied to adjust my status following on from K-1.

If your employment authorization is based on a temporary/nonimmigrant status, identify the particular status (e.g. F1, J, J-2, L-2):

Do I put K-1?

Not sure if respective employers would get confused as with K-1 one is not entitled to work.

Your employment authorization is based on having a pending I-485, not a K-1. Where is this question?

[PhilLuv 43]

Thanks Harpa. The question is on an application (job) form I am filling.

Hmm, it is illegal to ask those sorts of questions on a job application. I would stay away.

Your employment authorisation is not based on a non-immigrant status but as a pending immigrant. I would say 'No' to that question.

There's nothing wrong with that question either, employers are required by law to verify an applicant has permission to work in the US.

No, the applicant only needs to satisfy an I-9 after a job offer has been made. An employer cannot ask these sorts of queries at the application or interview stage, by law.

These sorts of questions are used to "weed out" potential employees and is therefore discrimination.
