Hello,
Does anyone know that for a person holding a OPT cart (EAD) what forms need to be in the AOS package? Other than I-485, g-1155, g-325a, and medical form??
Do I need to put my previous i_765 form?
What else?
Thanks for your help.
My husband came to US with F2 visa,and then after years, he changed the status to F1 visa. Does he have to include his changing status documents with prevoius I20 in the package for AOS????
Thanks
What's G-1155?
Why would you put your previous I-765 form? That form has been approved and you already have your OPT card. It's the copy of the OPT card that you need to include with your package.
Sorry, I meant g-1145.
So, no need to include I_765 form, right?
Not unless you want a replacement EAD card. Although my suggestion to anyone on F1 or OPT status is to not apply for the AOS based EAD card, because once you use the AOS based EAD card to take up an employment offer, you're no longer in F status and if for some weird reasons the AOS application is denied you cannot revert to your previous status.
So, what would be your suggestion for me? My number became current for October and my EAD card will be expired on Feb 14 2015.
Okay. I understand. So, then I include the new EAD application with my package.
Is there anything else I need to include?
My number became current for October for Asia region. I would like to know when I should send the AOS package. Thank you.

An OPT may not exceed 12 months following graduation and can not be extended beyond this time frame on this basis, as far as I am aware.Thanks for all your help.
My question is that:
Can I just wait till this December to see if I can have my green card issued by that time, and then if by that time if my AOS application is still pending, I apply for extension of OPT? I feel like I do not want to include the new EAD application with my package right now. Do you think if I will be safe? Thanks.

As mentioned above, it is unlikely that an EAD/OPT extension will be granted in your specific circumstances, beyond your actual OPT expiration date 02/14/2015. You will remain in status based on your AOS application, presuming you follow respective application timing requirements. Personally, I would not even try to mix AOS and OPT/EAD extension matters, due to real possibility that this may seriously mix up your DV case - your choice. Good luck!I have one more question.
If I decide to include I-765 form in AOS package, should I pay more than the fee I am supposed to pay for AOS? Because I remembe last time I paid for OPT application. Other than this form and the copy of EAD card, what else I need to include regarding to OPT extension request????
Thanks so much for your help.
Here is my question:
I realized that once my OPT expires (Feb 14, 2015) while my AOS is pending, I can stay in US legally but can't work after this date. Technically I am OK to stay but it is very advisable to maintain my current status until the day of the interview.
But if I apply for EAD by sending I-765 and then get rejected Green Card, I can't stay anymore because I applied for an immigrant benefit. Is this correct? So, what would be the benefit of applying the new EAD card at the same time of AOS submission?
I am really confused. One is saying to apply for extentsion, another one is saying no to do. please help.
Let's get the facts straight please. No where in my post did I suggest you get an OPT extension. Applying for a DV based EAD card IS NOT an application for OPT extension!
