A couple of I-765 questions for the wise - Please Help!

[seawind]

Two quick easy questions I hope! Here is the situation... My wife was brought to the US when she 5. Her father got married when she was 12 but the interview failed. She already has an A-Number, I-94 Number, Social Security Number, expired work permit, etc due to this...

Q1: At the top of the form it says, I am applying for:
1. Permission to accept employment.
2. Replacement (of lost employment authorization document).
3. Renewal of my permission to accept employment (attach previous employment authorization document).

Do we select the 3rd option because she had a work permit in the past or do we select the 1st option?

Q2: I may be just over thinking this but we are on I-765 Question "11. Have you ever before applied for employment authorization from USCIS?" Well no technically she hasn't, she was only 12... BUT her Dad did for her (obviously) so do we select yes here and complete the information, or should we select no and attach something explaining the situation?


I really appreciate the help!

Thanks

On what basis is she applying for I-765 now?

[seawind]

Shes eligible because we got married last December. Is that what you mean or do you need to know something else?

Thanks for the help!

Marriage itself does not give any eligibility to file I-765.

What is your legal status? Are you US citizen or greencard holder?

Are you filing for her I-130, Family based immigrant petition?

US Citizen born and raised. Yes I'm filing the I-130 family based.
