Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

I am currently working based on OPT_EAD that I received after completing my education in US -- this EAD is valid for a period of one year.

However I recently got married to a US citizen and am filing for AOS with the usually paperwork: I-130, I-131, I-485, I-765.

My question is about an option on the I-765: What option should I select:

I am applying for:

>> Permission to accept employment.

>> Replacement (of lost employment authorization document)

>> Renewal of my permission to accept employment (attach previous employment authorization document).

Since I already have an existing EAD would it be considered a renewal -- Option 3

OR

Since this is a AOS based EAD it would be considered a new permission to accept employment -- Option 1

Similarly, for Q16:

Eligibility Categories: I have selected: (c) (9) -- would this be the right category for me?

Also, I have almost completed my paperwork -- would any of you legal folks be able to offer document review services to look over my paperwork?

Many thanks for the response.

RM.

I would check the "Permission to Accept Employment" box since you are applying for an I-765 under a new category. (c)(9) would be the correct category. I would be happy to review your documents and go over your case with you. Please feel free to contact me by calling 415-273-9123 or emailing at [email protected].
