2021 Renewal Question

Are you all including a copy of your passport on the i-765 application? The instructions specify that you must include this unless you filing under category (c)(9):

A. A copy of at least one of the following documents: Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record (front and back), a
printout of your electronic Form I-94 from www.cbp.gov/i94, passport, or other travel document. If you are filing
Form I-765 under the (c)(9) category, copies of any of the above are not required.

This looks new. Do not remember including this before.

Also, it no longer mentions including a copy of your deferred action "granting" letter (Notice of Action, 797)

Thanks

I remember seeing this and thought “oh, this looks like a new requirement”. However, most dreamers cannot get a passport unless they travel to their country and get it there. Mexicans and perhaps a few others can get a passport from their home country by going to their embassy in the U.S. I used to have one but it expired 4 years ago and never renewed. Long story short, I did not include copies of any passport but I did include the passport number in the application. There is a section where it asks about your last passports expiration date and number. I just got approved a few days ago and my card is being produced. So, if you happen to have current unexpired passport for whatever reason, go ahead and send copies( I don’t think they are necessary but it won’t hurt) and if you have an expired passport, just include the number and expiratoon date where it asks for it in the application. If you don’t have none of those and never had a passport (i.e. Entry Without inspection —then I would not worry about any of the above).I hope that helps

I just put my passport's exp date and thats it.

My renewal was approved in 3 weeks!

Cheers!

When did you send your renewal?

I believe most people dont include passport for many reasons, most only include copy of EAD and lately I been seeing people not include that and still get approved... I only sent copy of EAD front and back just sent it today...

To quote Demise “ 30 to 30.g. are only applicable if you are applying via a pending asylum. You're not so leave those blank.”
