Hi Friends,
Me and my wife are currently on H-1B visas. My I-140 is cleared and I-485 pending for more than 180 days ( I am the primary applicant). We both got our first EADs in Dec '03 and now that I am nearing 4 months of that, I need to apply for my and my spouse's EAD renewal.Who knows when we might need them !!!
Like some of the folks suggested here, it's better to do it on your own and hence I am seeking the help of Gurus out here for the same.
As mentioned here and in some other threads, I am not doing online renewal.
I have following doubts regarding EAD renewal application :
1) Should I send application for my wife and myself in different envelopes ?
2) Should I mention 'EAD Renewal Application' outside the envelope or only 'Form 765 for EAD' is fine ?
3) Do I need to send the H1-B Visa copy stamped on my passport ?
4) Do we really need colored copies of DL AND Passport (first page only)?Should I enlarge them a little for better clarity ?
5) I have the following questions while filling up the 765 form -
-Out of the 3 options, I need to select 'Renewal of my permission to accept employment' for the reason for applying ?
--In Section 11, "Have you ever before applied for employment authorization from INS? " - What date should I put ? - Receipt Date of previous EAD 'OR' Date printed on EAD for 'Card Valid From' ?
---In Section 15 , "Current Immigration Status (Visitor, Student, etc.)"
What should I write ? H-1B (As currently my H-1B is valid and stamped till 2006 and I entered on H1-B last year). Do I need to mention H-1B/AOS
---- In Section 16. "Go to Part 2 of the Instructions, Eligibility Categories. In the space below, place the letter and number of the category you selected from the instructions (For example, (a)(8), (c)(17)(iii), etc.)."
What do I need to fill in ? Is it 'c9' ?
I also plan to file AP for me and my spouse to be on the safer side.I have the following questions for the same.
1) Can I file them in the same envelope as 765 or differently ?
2) Do I need to send copy of last EAD along with AP application ?
3) Please clarify following questions for Form 131.
- Class of Admission ?
-- In Part 3. Processing information - what should I give the date of intended departure ? Around 4-5 months from now ?
And is there any preferred 'Expected stay of length' which I should provide- for eg. 1 month ? Does this effect in anyway ?
---Do I need to fill in "Part 4. Information about your proposed travel." ?
----In "Part 7. Complete only if applying for advance parole." Which option I need to select - One Trip or More than One Trip ? Is there any such restriction on number of visits I can make ? If I select More than One Trip, would it do any harm ?
---- Part 7 says - "On a separate sheet(s) of paper, please explain how you qualify for an advance parole document and what circumstances warrant
issuance of advanc parole." What is this ? A cover letter will solve this purpose or do I need something additional ?
----- I need to send the 131 Form to Vermont Service Center (where my AOS has been filed) ?
I know my questions are too detailed, just that I want to play safe 100% given the current way of things. I really appreciate all the help and information.Thanks Again to the Gurus here !!!
