Unless you got a work authorization stamp at the port of entry, the answer is no. Once you do get married and apply for AOS, you can also apply for an EAD which gives you authorization to work.

Thank you for the reply and do you mean the stamp on my I-94 card?It has a date,Can i use SSN and I-94 card to work before get married?I saw some infomation on other forum that some people say you can work as long as your I-94 card is not out of the date on your I-94 card.Is that right?

Yes you can work as much as you have the work authorization stamp in the back of your I-94 and SSN # or reciept that you apply for SSN #, it does not matter if you marry cause in that time you gonna use the name that you entry with, but you have to stop working in the time of your visa expire which mean that you I-94 will expire too, is that clear enough?!!

Unless your I-94 is stamped "WORK AUTHORISED" no you cannot work until you are married, have filed AOS along with EAD (work authorisation) and have the EAD *in your hand* to show your employer. Look at your I-94 and see if it is stamped with the temporary work authorisation. If it is, then you are allowed to work until the I-94 expires, after that you will need your EAD.
