How long is work authorized with the port of entry "employment Authorized" stamp?

[JenniferJarin 0]

My husband entered on a K-1 visa. At his port of entry, I asked if the officer could give him an "Employment Authorized" stamp, and he did. It's stamped in red on the back of his I-94.

There is no expiration date on this, but on the front of the I-94 it is stamped "Admitted" and the date, with "K-1" written in, and underneath, it's stamped with a date three months into the future.

We just got married 2 weeks ago, and now we are applying for AOS this week. I was intending on applying for his I-765 work authorization and trael documents at the same time.

My question is, if he accepts work, will be have to legally stop working once the second date on the I-94 is here, if he hasn't gotten his I-765 work authorization card at that time? Or can he keep working since he already has that work authorization stamp on his I-94?

Also, is it faster to file the I-765 electronically after applying for the I-485, or is it just as fast to send in mail along with the I-485?

Is there any other way to expedite? I am concerned because I am about to give birth soon and it would help us out a lot if he could legally work, but I don't want him to jeopardize his status by taking work if he is not legally able.

If he accepted work now and just continued to work until his new work authorization arrived, then what?

Not many employers will hire him if he must quit in 6 weeks. How long does the work authorization card usually take to arrive?

Thanks for any help or advice with these questions.

The temp EAD stamp is valid for 90 days from the day of entry.... he is authorized to work for that 90 days... after that he is not employment authorized... he will not be authorized to work again until he has been approved for the 1 year EAD that you apply for along with your AOS....

There is no difference in processing time between mail along with the AOS packet and E-filing the EAD... they will both take aprox 60 -90 days....

If he continues to work after the 90 days he is doing so illegally... while it may be forgiven at AOS interview the employer would be in big trouble if they were inspected and found to have employed someone not authorized to work....

Good Luck with the baby

Hi, I have question. What was your POE?

[snowfrostedlashes 0]

I don't know what field he works in, but could he perhaps do some short-term temporary work through an agency? This is what I'm thinking of doing when I move so that I can earn some extra money while we wait (I'm an administrator / secretary).

Check out their timeline. San Francisco of all places...first time I've heard that. Read their POE review too : it seems they got lucky.
