EAD stamp at JFK

You can't guarantee avoiding the gap in work authorization. We were able to avoid it, but we got married a week after he got here and we were lucky. Let any company you work for or apply to know that you might have to quit working for awhile due to the gap in work authorization.

And if someone claims that you don't need a stamp, don't listen to them. We've debated it many times before.

Stamp is only valid for a period of time between her arrival and wedding, am I correct ?

SSN means only this much that she will not have to wait a week or two after she receives work authorization. Without that nothing, nothing, nothing. I wanted to sell Mary Kay and this is not the kind of employment you would think one needs authorisation for - also not allowed. But EAD takes sometimes only a few weeks, if you are lucky - I am also in Virginia and I NEVER got mine, I had nothing after 90 days and I went to the local congressman that only tells people "yes, I am here to help" but in reality does nothing. Finally, before I got together to go back to him, my green card arrived (about day 100).

I can tell you what I would do differently today. I would start applying for jobs right away. This is what I did with one application because I wanted this job so bad. I applied early December full of fear what if they call me tomorrow and I am actually not authorized (I avoided that question on application form purposely, hoping they would not pay much attention to it). I was invited to an interview IN MARCH !!!!!!!!!!!

Finding a job took me actually longer than obtaining work permit.

Where do you live Jason ? I am in Harrisonburg, VA and we have a huge Russian community here and also a Russian grocery store
