Hello,

 

I'm in the process of submitting my AOS through spouse, we just got married recently. I already have EAD card through pending asylum case that my parents submitted a while back and it doesn't have validation to reenter the US. If I want to apply for I-131 advance parole so I can travel outside the US and come back, do I need to reapply for I-765? 

 

Thank you!

You don't, but if you leave the US you abandon your asylum claim, so you cannot work when you come back. If you apply for a combo card, you switch from working on your asylum EAD to working on your AOS EAD. These cards are in different categories, and are not interchangeable.

 

The application for both I-131 and I-765 is free for you assuming you have your NOA1 from I-485.

So do you advise for me to first apply for I-486 and reapply for I-765, then wait for NOA1 before applying for I-131?

No, just send your I-485, I-130, I-765 and I-131 all together following the guide here: https://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos/ 

 

They are still free if filed concurrently.

Sorry one more question, do I put (c)(9) as my eligibility category when filing for I-765? I got confused since I already have an EAD card that I filed under pending asylum.

Yes, (c)(9) as a new card (not a renewal) for an EAD based on a pending I-485.

 

Are you planning to return to the country of your previous home?

Was the asylum claim based on a credible fear from violence or persecution in your home country?

 

Edit:  If so, you may want to seek a professional opinion with an immigration attorney that deals with asylum cases (presumably you already have one?). It can impact any your current status and/or any future benefits.
