Form I-765 for F1 student merried for U.S citizen

[Jotsy 0]

Hello everyone. I have a problem with filling form I-765 and question 16. I came in to the US 2 years ago with B2 tourist visa to visit my parents. Several months later I met my wife, we decided to live together and I changed my visa with F1 student visa. Next Tuesday is her Oath Ceremony, right after we'll send the documents for my green card. I'm still visiting my college and keeping my status. What kind of Eligibility category am I - question 16? As I know © (9) ( ) is for those who don't have status. Probably I'll stop visit my school after we send this documents, because there's no more budget to pay for it, but in the moment I'm still in status. Thank you!

Not sure why you think (c )(9 ) is for those that are out of status. The instructions tell you what each category stands for. (c )(9 ) is for an adjustment applicant. If you are sending the I-765 along with your I-485 to adjust status, then you would be (c )(9 ), an adjustment applicant.

Thank you for the info... so if I put ©(9)( ) what'll be the answer in question box 15, "student" or "adjustment applicant"

adjustment applicant.

why ? the I-765 is a multi-use form for an EAD, those students chasing OPT must also fill it out.

since, at the time of filing, you are seeking adjustment and _NOT_ any OPT status, well, you can figure it out, ya ?

"Adjustments applicant" is your final answer? I don't wanna make any mistakes, that's am I asking...I'm under big pressure because of these docs...everyone says a different things and that confusing
