As a K3, you may file for an EAD without filing the AOS. You will have to pay the EAD fee. Check the USCIS website for the most recent fee rate. I believe they will give you a 2yr EAD. You then have the option to wait until it's almost or just after your 2nd wedding anniversary to file the AOS so that you get the 10yr green card (no need to file for removal of conditions). The only downside to this is that you will also have to wait a bit longer to file for citizenship as you only become eligible on the 90 days before the 3rd year anniversary of the green card.

thank you for t he reply i check it out yesterday from uscis website the payment for filing EAD separately will be 340 so im thinking maybe much better if im going to file it along with my AOS to save money hehehehe, God Bless!!!
