E2 dependent i-765 form

[AndraB]

Hi there,

My husband is an E2 dependent while I am the main applicant. He needs to apply for I-765 in order to get his EAD. My question is: on the I-765 they require the I-94 arrival/departure number for his most recent entry in the US and he needs to attach it to the i-765 application. Does he need my i-94 as well to attach? I haven’t entered yet on the E2 visa, do I need to get my I-94? Is he required to attach mine as well as his when filling out form i-765 or he can just present my E2 visa page, the bio page and the marriage certificate? What additional documents does a dependent need to provide while filling form i-765?

Thank you so much!

Umm, he is not even supposed to be able to get dependent E2 status if you are not in principal E2 status. So he might not be in status right now.

Anyway, yes, you need to enter the US to have an I-94 to show that you are in E2 status in order for him to apply for an EAD. Your I-94, his I-94, and marriage certificate should be enough.

That’s what I thought as well! Thank you!
