nonimmigrant spouse, or was married to
a qualifying principal nonimmigrant
spouse and
a. The spouse died within two years
of filing the EAD application,
b. The spouse lost qualifying
nonimmigrant status due to an incident
of domestic violence, or
c. The marriage to the principal
spouse was terminated within the two
years prior to filing for the INA section
106 employment authorization, and
there is a connection between the
termination of the marriage and the
battery or extreme cruelty;
2. Was last admitted as a
nonimmigrant under INA section
101(a)(15)(A), (E)(iii), (G), or (H);
