I-175 item 15

[lukefromireland]

Hi,

On ESTA, married a US citizen and about to submit application for AOS.

On form I-765 (employment authorization) item 15 ask if I have ever applied for employment authorization from USCIS.

I have been on two J1 visas where I had permission to work. Does that mean I or a sponsor on my behalf applied to USCIS for employment authorization before?

Thanks

No, J1 don't get EADs. Unless you were in some other status when you got an EAD (e.g. OPT), the answer is no.
