EAD Question...

[masterpiece91 0]

We are debating on whether or not we should change our plans. We had originally planned to wait about 2 & 1/2 months after she arrived on her K1 visa to get married. After thinking things thru i realize that if we do that and lets say she is able to get a work permit at the point of entry it will only be good for 90 days. This means that if it take 2 months for us to get her EAD after we get married she could spend a good month & 1/2 without having work authorization.

My first question is: How long on average does it take to receive an EAD? (we would like her to be able to work)

Second question is: How long do people often wait to get married?

Third question is: Do we have to submit a AOS before the 90 days expire?

If you have any other suggestions or information related to my inquiry please feel free to write. thanks!

1. 60-90 days

2. Some next day, others wait until near the end of the 90 days. Its personal preference.

2. No, but it is preferable. But you do need to send in AOS to get an EAD that will not expire at the end of the 90 day stay.
