I-765 = Why do we answer (c)(9) for question 16

[Shannon and David 0]

Hi... obviously I'm filling in all of my forms today.

As I was going through the directions for the I-765, I thought that I should mark (a)(6) for question 16 (my husband entered on a K-1 visa). Then, when I looked on the "Tips for Adjustment of Status for K-1 Visa Holders" ( http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...&page=k1aos ), it says that I should be sure to mark ©(9). The example document also has the same information. Why should we mark it that way?

David does not already have an EAD as he did not enter through a POE that gave him a stamp...

Here are the directions for the I-765...

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

It's on page 4, number 6, in regards to K-1 visa holders.

I apologize in advance if I'm going crazy after spending the last two days doing these forms and I can't make sense of anything anymore!

the correct is (A)(6) as he didnt enter on a work permit.

No, the correct answer is indeed C9. A6 would be useless. It would only be valid for as long as the I-94 is valid. By the time your I-765 is processed, your I-94 may have expired and you would have wasted your time. The C9 category will be good for 1 year. C9 is for anyone applying to adjust status or register permanent residence. That is you if you came on a K-1, got married, and are not adjusting status to obtain a green card. You are doing AOS at the same time right? A6 is equivalant to the EAD stamp some get at the POE (valid for the life of the I-94), and if you file for EAD without filing for AOS (under category A6), it will cost you $340.

the correct is (A)(6) as he didnt enter on a work permit.

Did you read this last sentence in the instructions under K-1 visa holders:

Any EAD application, other than for a replacement, must be based on your pending application for adjustment under (-c)(9).

Only a replacement EAD would be (A)(6), all others should be based on the pending AOS (-C)(9)

I just saw in your timeline that your husband applied for a State ID and received it....I never thought of that possibility!

I thought that only US citizens can get one?!

What's the deal with the State ID? Anybody?????

Hi! I checked out our Motor Vehicle Administration website and knew that people could get an ID card that wouldn't be a driver's license. I just followed the rules and after he got his SSN, we went down with all the required documents and got him one. Mind you, this was before his I-94 expired. He wouldn't be able to get one now because it is expired...

I would check out your local MVA type place online and see what the requirements are. If you're already into the AOS process, you might have to wait until he has the papers.

I was super paranoid that he might lose his passport/visa as he was carrying it around for ID. I knew it would be safer for him to just have the State ID for every day use!

I did also the same, with DMV, they have some requirements, if you respect them, you can have a ID card, but it was before the expiration of my I-94 (this white paper has a huge importance).

Check the DMV web-site of your state.

Good luck

[FaSa2008 0]

Yes he passsed the written test, he needs to take the road test but the learners permit has a regular expiration date for 2013, but in red on top of his name its says exp 7/28/08 i think meaning the visa?

Right. And, if you don't do it like that, it's a huge headache. Believe me, I remember. Had to refile paperwork and pay more money.

Different states, different rules.
