EAD form i-765

[dnjayjay 4]

Goodmorning to you all,

I have a question about EAD 

I arrived here in US last month on a K1 visa. Now that i am married to my wife, i will like to apply for adjustment of status.

 

A friend told me about vj community this morning but i got confused with the answers i got about the EAD. I found two similar questions with one, to answer YES and another to answer NO.  

 

EAD form i-765: 

Question 19b have you ever been arrested. What should i answer? 

Ds 160 , asked similar question and i answered YES. But on the EAD i dont understand if its applicable to me. Question 19a talked about categories. So i am lost here. My category is c 9.

Form i-485 (application for permanent residence) i marked yes because it asked if i have ever been arrested in or outside the US. This is understandable. Please i need your kind opinions.

If you have ever been arrested then it's a yes.

Yes Georgia. I marked yes on form i-485 application for residence permit. Since the cause of arrest is not a serious issue but on record because i went to court for it and my k1 visa was approved without being asked questions about it during my interview, do you think it will delay my work authorization.

As long as it asked specifically, in or outside the USA, reply YES. Give details in the space provided if you feel it might help you.
