I-765 Help

[Zach2015 211]

My wife previously had a J-1 Visa before she had a K-1 visa. She cannot remember with the J-1 visa if she ever had to apply for EAD.

1. Question 12 asks ever applied for EAD?

2. Confused on 21 c. Travel Document?

3. 24 & 25 should be K-1?

4. 27 Should be C-9 and the rest of the 28-31b should be blank?

 

As always, thanks!

1.  With the J-1 visa she could work on campus w/o an EAD for up to 20 hrs a week.  If she worked more than 20 hrs a week or off campus she would have needed the EAD, other than that I sort of doubt she had an EAD

2.   No such critter in this case. 

 

3.   Yes .. K-1

 

4.  Eligibility Category for K-1  :   (a)(6)       (hurt my widdle feelings as I sorted that out and listed it on the AOS webpage.    )

1. She worked off campus for more than 20 hours. So she needs to dig for that paperwork..lol

4. Then what is this C-9 everyone is talking about?  I couldn't find your link.

Eligibility Category    <  click, then drop down to the I-765 Category tab, you will see that (a) (6) is for the K-1

 

Can't be c-9   as you haven't filed the I-485 yet, so there is not a pending status

I was filing all the forms together (I should have clarified). I-485, I-765, I-131 and the I-864. So does that make a difference on the answer?

Nope.     C-9 would be if you already filed the I-485 and it is pending, then later you want to file the I-765 

 

Is your wife a K-1 ?     OK.   (a) (6)  Category list clearly states this .... NEXT!

Yes, if you are filing I485/I131/I765 concurrently,  the i765 category is (c)(9).

Wrong.  Concurrent (or later) filing of the i765 with the i485 is (c)(9). 

 

NEXT...

Are you that out of touch.  Filing for EAD in conjunction with the i485 is considered a pending adjustment of status therefore (c)(9).  If one tried to file for EAD before the i485 and based on the i94, then it would be (a)(6).  

[Hank_ 9,174]

So you are saying USCIS having that Category chart .. and listing the K-1 (a) (6)  .. is well  ... stupid on the part of USCIS.      Has nothing to do with pending, not pending or filing solo ...   The Fiance(e) K-1 K-2 is listed by USCIS and it has its own category code  (a) (6)

 

Out of touch?   I read the USCIS website,  can't get any clearer than what they have listed.

 

"considered pending" by whom .. by you obviously .. but as the saying goes - Show me the beef!  (as in something from USCIS) .     Not your opinion.

VJ Guides??  Someone that didn't have a clue that the K-1 K-2 have their own code decided to choose what "might be a good idea"               Ya that's the ticket!    Forget about USCIS .. look at the VJ guide.    Dang!   That's your "gotcha" ?

 

Accept it, USCIS does know a little bit more than the VJ guide, and they gave the K-1 K-2 visa their own category code.  (a) (6)     <<<<<

 

VJ Guide...  jeez, are you serious! ?    At least you didn't say ... My mommy told me it was so.....

Keep going.  The more you post about this the harder you will fall when proven otherwise.   A6 is strictly for the 90 days on your i94.  C9 is with the i485

You two have brought  laughter to my day, while I watch to see what this Hurricane is going to do.
