If you filed the current version of form I-360 AND you checked " I am currently residing in the United States and I request an Employment Authorization Document. " Then, you need to include 2 passport-style photos. Otherwise, no photos are required.

 

Thank you miloy. I have EAD from my I 130 that will expire in January and I'm still waiting to see if the officer will agree to put my I 485 on hold until vawa is adjudicated.. I have the interview in 2 weeks so based on that I'll see if I have to file a new I 765 or just renew the old one. In my situation I guess photos are not required  then?

Not sure if you are asking about photos for I-360 (your previous post) or photos for EAD renewal.

 

For any EAD renewal, two passport-style photos are required. They will not use your photos on file, instead, if no photos included in your EAD renewal application, you will receive a RFE, which will delay your application for 1-2 months.

 

For I-360, only if you request an EAD (C31) based on the approval of I-360.

That sounds strange. What does your online status say? Did you already receive your interview notice?

Just go to the interview, if they turn you away then that's that.

so that means, when you file new 360 application, and you check for employment authorization, also include 2pics

then you dont need to file 765, please confirm thanks

Correct but the EAD (C31) will only be approved after the approval of the I-360. So this is an option for LPR spouses, or USC spouses who decide not to file I-485/I-765 while I-360 is pending.

If you are eligible to file I-485 and I-765 (C9), you will get EAD while the I-360 is pending. The I-765 (C9) is based on the pending I-485, not I-360.

If you like, you can check the employment authorization on I-360 and also file I-485/I-765 if applicable.

Hello guys,

Quick question..if petitioner withdrew the i130 for the spouse WHILE the i485 is held by USCIS in abeyance at your request, can the i485 be canceled then? 

Thank you!

Correct. The only way you are authorized to work is if you have a pending I-485. Otherwise you have to wait for I-360 to be approved first before I-765 can be approved.

The version of I-360 with the check box, marked as 3/14/16 N was release on the 2nd half of 2016. The current version, marked as 12/23/16 N was released early this year.

 

I am not sure how USCIS will process your EAD request.
