new I-485 and I-765
hi all, I have a question about new I-765 c9 after my marriage petition was withdrawn.
- got c9 EAD card under marriage petition in summer 2022
- marriage petition was withdrawn due to divorce proceedings so EAD was terminated (received a letter about it) in spring 2023
- I am going to file Vawa, new I485 and 765 c9.
in this case, will my new (second) I765 c9 be “initial permission” or “renewal”? the first one is terminated so I thought it was going to be “initial” , also because I am applying new I485.
please let me know if anyone knows about it.
thank you #vawa

@skylar . it’ll be “initial” cuz now it’s attached to new I-485

I’m also confused about this. The instructions on the uscis website say “Initial EAD: issued to an eligible applicant for the first time under a specific eligibility category”. So if you already got a EAD on a c9 category, then according to that it wouldn’t be an initial EAD anymore?

It’s an initial if your old i130 was withdrawn so more like it never existed

@skylar . you got letter that your I-765 was terminated? What? Never heard about that.

@Tata T I am also checking about it with my attorney, I will let you know.
but like Rachel N and Kenn said here, old I-485 and 130 are terminated now so I wonder how can it be renewed EAD attached to the void petition…

@Tata T @Rachel N @Kenn .
I was told by my attorney that it will be “Renewal” even though it is a new petition but I already had EAD under c9. I am applying for the same category.
Initial EAD: An EAD issued to an eligible applicant for the first time under a specific eligibility category.
Renewal EAD: An EAD issued to an eligible applicant after the expiration of a previous EAD issued under the same category
