This is the record for your last arrival in the US. If you do not have the I-94 record, please download from below link and fill out the relevant questions in the I-765.

While filling out the information at the below link, passport number is the one you used at your last entry in the US.

For more guidance on how to fill out I-765, refer below link by Anil.

Thanks @Kalpesh_Dalwadi
Where do I enter the current H4 extension details (receipt number) in the form?

You will need to attach the copy of your H-4 extension receipt along with other documents and mention in the cover letter that your extension is pending with USCIS.

No premium processing for EAD at this time. Only other way is to request expedited processing.

Work not allowed after H4 EAD expires and renewal not approved.
