Previous work authorisation?

Hi all,

 

We were approved for our K-1 visa, and I wanted to make a start on the AOS forms, so that they are ready to go as soon as I arrive and we get married. (We want to minimise the time waiting for employment authorisation).

 

I was looking at the employment authorisation form (i-765), and the first question asks reasons for applying. I previously held a J-1 student visa, and did an off campus internship. I had to get authorisation to carry out this internship from my college and a US gov't organisation (I don't remember which one, probably DHS). During this process I was given SSN card saying "only valid for employment with DHS authorisation", and of course authorisation to do this specific internship.

So when it asks for reason for applying for work authorisation on the i-765, which do I select:
1A. Initial permission to accept employment - as I haven't worked in the US for 5 years, so this isn't a renewal of existing employment authorisation if that makes sense?
1C. Renewal of permission to accept employment - i.e. because I have worked in the US before so this counts as a renewal?

Thanks in advance! :-)

1a. 

You would be filing for a renewal only if your previous EAD was still valid.
