Hello!

I just have a question about the EAD. What is the difference of the catagories ©(9) and (a)(6)? Which are you suppose to file for? And do we file before his entry, with AOS or after AOS? I read the guides, but I am just not getting it, I guess. :unsure:

Any help is appreciated!! Thank you! :thumbs:

For K-1 you file for EAD with or after filing for AOS, Using (c )(9 ) (I-485 pending) it is FREE because the fee is part of the $1010 paid for AOS.

If the K-1 were to file for EAD before filing for AOS using (a )(6 ) the results is that you Pay $340 for an EAD card that expires the same time as their I-94 card. A EXPENSIVE USELESS EAD CARD. (a )(6 ) is the same EAD as the temp EAD stamp issued at some POE.

K-3 holders may consider (a )(9 ) EAD and just wait a while before filing AOS, K-3 would get an EAD card this way that is valid up to 2 years, and waiting to file AOS until just before their 2nd wedding anniversary can save them from having to later filing to lift conditions on a conditional green-card.

So in a nutshell, immediatly after we are married, file for EAD (c9), which is part of the AOS package, and just pay the $1010?

please correct me if i am wrong...

Thank you all for your help!!!!

If you're going to file for an EAD under C9 then you need to file the EAD at the same time as your AOS (I-485). If you do this then yes, the EAD is included in the $1010 price tag for AOS.
