R-1 Question

I entered the USA on a three year R1 visa. I have an approved I-797B. Do I need to submit an application I-765 to get an EAD if I wish to work for someone other than the petitioner on my I-797B ? What do I use as my code in block 16 ? Thanks in advance.

I may be misunderstanding, but are you attempting to change employer? Your R-1 is very specifically tied to one sponsoring organization. To switch to another R-1 organization, they must petition for you (I-129) and you cannot change employer until that is approved.

What status are you looking to switch to exactly?
