Employment Authorization Document?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Your husband will not be able to obtain employment authorization through your petitioning for him. That is because there is no current priority date and he is not eligible to adjust status in the US as he is not in legal status. He may be able to obtain employment authorization through his asylum application, however. To do so, he or his attorney would have to file the asylum application with the office of the immigration court first and then after 150 days (assuming that it has not yet been denied), he would be eligible to apply for employment authorization on form I-765 employment authorization application. The legend for employment authorization for an asylum candidate is C –8.

My husband filed for me in June 2019 and we only just realized that he got my names wrong. Would that affect our processing time?

Whether your husband filed for you under your maiden or married name should make no difference in the timing or the adjudication of the I-130 petition. Petitions are filed under married or unmarried names, and it generally makes no difference to an immigration officer.
