After Recieving the K1 visa when and how can my fiancee start working in the US. Anyone have some insight or a good link where i can look at whats involed in that process. Is it possible for her to get a work permit or must she marry first and the get a ssn to start working. Thanks for your help Chuck and Teresa

you do need a SSN first. But you can file EAD before you get married but it will cost extra. When filing EAD along with AOS it's included in the AOS fee which is $1010. EAD takes about 2-4 months to be approved. the only way to get a temp EAD is if her POE is JFK. but thats not even promised. the Temp EAD would be valid for 3 months.

Can take a job with EAD or Green-card. EAD can take 90 days or more to get.

NOTE: K-1 is not a work visa, it is a fiancee visa for entry to the USA and marriage, K-1 is "Work Auth" primarily to be able to get the SSN, some states are strict in their interpretation of a federal law that requires persons applying for a "license" to have SSN, this can cause a problem with marriage license if only one person has SSN and the other (the K-1 holder) does not.

It is possible to get EAD before marriage and filing for AOS, however, (a )(6 ) K-1 EAD costs $340 and results in a 90 day NON-Renewable temp EAD that expires 90 days from entry on the K-1, since it can take up to 90 days for I-765 to be approved, the results is a worthless or denied EAD.

K-1 is best to file for EAD with or after filing I-485 to adjust status using code (c )(9 ) there is no fee for this it is included in the I-485 fee.

Also this is not a K-1 visa topic, it is an "Working & Traveling prior to getting a Green Card" topic and should be in that forum.

Do you keep that in Word and just copy/paste it when you need to?
