EAD #16 Question

[cd1111 0]

Hello,

I just want to make sure that I should put (a)(6) in question #16 as my category for K-1/Fiancee of USC?

Also, is there a fee under this category? Should I provide another set of requirements if I am filing it along with th I-485?

Thanks,

If you are filing for EAD along with your AOS then the correct category is c9.... not a6...

If you want an EAD that expires when your I-94 expires, fill in a(6) ... if you want the EAD that expires after a year, use c(9).

If you are filing concurrently with the I485 there is no fee. If filing separately - there *is* a fee.

Even if I am filing for EAD within the 90 days from the date of my entry? Yes, I am filing my EAD with my AOS.

Thanks again,

File using code (c )(9 ) I-485 pending, even within the 90 days, you need to file it with the I-485 or after filing I-485 with a copy of I-485 NOA1

Apply for EAD WITH AOS, not before.

K-1 holder should not bother with getting (a )(6 ) EAD card, that card expires 90 days after entry on the K-1, and can take up to 90 days to get. A Useless card, and a waste of $340

EAD filed for with or after filing AOS is FREE, and results in a 1 year EAD, renewable for FREE if needed.

I could have sworn the instructions said "a 6". ???

The instructions didn't say any such thing. They said if you entered on a K1 visa, use "a 6". Where are you coming up with this interpretation?

Why not download the instructions on the USCIS site? That's what I did and it said to use "a 6".

Why not read the directions with form I-765, and also the EAD guide.

(A )(6 ) is for Fiancee before filing for AOS, this is the "TEMP" 90 day EAD that expires with the I-94.

A. K-1 Non immigrant Fiance(e) of U.S. Citizen or K-2 Dependent--(a)(6). File your EAD application if you are filing within 90 days from the date of entry. This EAD cannot be renewed. Any EAD application other than for a replacement must be based on your pending application for adjustment under ©(9).

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf

I have read of MANY filers that got the (a )(6 ) EAD only to discover it expires when the I-94 expires, and others that had the I-765 petition rejected because they has an AOS pending, or the approval of the I-765 happened AFTER the I-94 expired.

2. Immediately, before filing for AOS. As a K-1 visa holder you are technically eligible to file for an EAD immediately when you arrive. However, this EAD will expire when you K-1 expires (90 days) and because of this and the wait time (>90 days) it is a waist of both time and money to bother applying. You will file as category ©(6), "Nonimmigrant Fiance(e) of U.S. Citizen".

Thanks for clearing that up then. That was the exact source that I was talking about and I got a totally different understanding from it. I read that if you are a K1 visa holder and you are applying within 90 days, then you use "a 6". The "c 9" just threw me off.

Chalk one more point on the "very easy to misunderstand the form" scoreboard for USCIS.

As I said, thank you for clearing that up then.
