[mitikm88 0]

Hello,

I'm a non-US citizen married to my husband ( a USA citizen last year), filling form I-765 how do I answer question number 16? I came with a R/B2 visa. Is a9 correct?

Thank you

Go to this link and read the instructions for the I-765: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-765instr.pdf

You need to determine which category you fall under to be eligible for EAD. Once you figure out the category you fall under, enter the code in line 16 of the I-765 form.

No A9 is not correct. A9 is the category you would use if you entered the US on a K-3 visa. You did not.

Did you file adjustment of status yet? If not, you cannot file form I-765.

If you did file, then your category will be C9--adjustment applicant.

Thank you, I have filled I-485 (Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) and wanted to send with I-765. Do you think I should send I-485 and after that I-765?

[Teddy B 17,251]

You can send them both in together. And based on what you've said c9 is the correct category for you. Are you filing the I-131 for travel as well?

Thank you Teddy, I haven't filled I-131 yet I don't know it is necessary or useful for me or not? what's your idea about this?

Due to the current protracted AOS processing times, it is generally recommended that when you file your I-485 (AOS), you concurrently file for the EAD/AP (I-765/I-131) combo card. There are no additional fees if concurrently filed. There are numerous forum threads lamenting the fact that folks need to travel home for family emergencies, etc. prior to the processing of their AOS and then they have to scramble around trying to get an Advance Parole document (I-131). Save the potential hassles, and concurrently file for EAD/AP combo card.

YMMV.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Hi friends, I am in US with R/B2 visiting visa now and I got married with a US citizen in April 2014. I wanna send my i-485 and other forms for getting green card. I wanna know do I need to get a K visa now? Do I need to change my visa to K or it is useless?

Thank you
