Hi,
I was on H4 from June2014-Sept 30, 2015. Then I was working on H1B from 10/01/2015-12/30/2015. Then I was on vacation in India from 12/30/2015-2/1/2016 and re-enter US on H4 on 2/1/2016. I want to now apply for a H4 EAD based on my spouse's I-140 (my spouse also has extended H1B beyond 6 years based on AC21). I plan to prepare my own application and not enlist the services of a lawyer as the application looks straightforward to me.
Do I need to send the following documents with my packet:
1) Cover letter -- Basically just contains a list of documents.
2) Do I need to include my resume/degree/transcripts/previous job experience letters?
3) Do I need to include my h1B I-797 and/or paystubs?
I am planning to send the following documents over: Please suggest if this looks ok or any other documents you think I should include.
1. I-765 Petition
2. Check for #380.00 made out to Department of Homeland Security
3. Form G-1145: e-notification of application/petition acceptance
4. Copy of latest I-94 of beneficiary
5. Two photographs of beneficiary
6. Form I-797 of beneficiary under H4 status.
7. Beneficiary copy of entire Passport
8. Beneficiary California ID
9. Marriage certificate
10. Copy of spouse approved I-140.
11. Proof that spouse is maintaining active employment with Intel Corporation:
a. Latest 3 Paystubs
b. Employment verification letter
c. Copy of I-797 valid till 09/20/2017
12. Proof that spouse extended H1B status beyond six years under AC21: Spouse has been on active H1B from 10/01/2008 - current
a. Entire copy of two passports showing visa stamps of spouse
b. All I-797's of Spouse till date
13. Spouse copy of entire two passports
Thanks,
Richa
