How and when exactly to file I-765 concurrently ?

[Zen77 0]

I'm in the process of filing for adjustment of status after getting married and being on k1 visa 

I'm trying to file for the EAD concurrently to pay less fee 

I'm a little confused on how and when to do that

Do I file i-485 via mail first and wait then file i-765 after I get the notice and my status changes to pending adjustment of status or should I file with it in the same mail package while my status is still k1 ?

and is that what's called section c9 or something else ?

and can I just file it and pay online or not  ?

what would be the best way to do this for least fee payment and quickest approval ?

Thank you

You will put both the I-485 and the I-765 applications in the same envelope and file them together. When you do this, your eligibility category for the I-765 will be c9. I would recommend paying by check and using separate checks for each form's fee payment. You cannot file it online if filing concurrently with the I-485.

Thank you for your help , what immigration status should I put in the form ? should I put "pending adjustment of status" even though I'm still in "k1" status because c9 section is only for "pending adjustment" from what I understand and filing under k1 is a different section for before getting married ?

Yes I will, I tried before and I had some difficulties doing it but I'll figure it out

We put "K-1 Visa Holder" because we filed before the 90 day date because you can still be pending adjustment and a K-1 visa holder before the 90 days expires
