It will be on the I94 not the passport or visa. It's valid for 30 days.. technically. I say Technically, because there is some discussionon whether or not it is valid for K1 at all... In February 2009 the rules changed and it was not supposed to be valid for a K1 visa.. but they were still giving the stamp anyway. In July of 2009 I had a past employee come back with the stamp and was told, by our legal team, I could let him work.

The other day I was reviewing the information regaring non-citizens working and the K1 was listed as being ALLOWED to work without an EAD, but that an employee may require that they have an EAD before hiring them. So, technically it looks like they are legally allowed to work but that an employer has the right to refuse hire based on not having an official EAD.

Oh ok. Thaks.

On another note, I found a dress! So happy, at 1st I was like I'm just going to have a civil wedding but I thought heck no, so little by little I'm planning a small intimate wedding. Not sure if we're going to have a reception or go out to a fancy restaurant to eat.

I am so excited that you found your dress!!! yay!!!!!

Small and intimate is good. And I think your idea of going out to eat for your reception is a lovely idea. It'll just be you and your closest friends and family all eating good food and celebrating an awesome day!

Jenn, how are you doing? you all ready for Fuat?

NOOO.. not yet, but almost. At home now waiting for Stanley Steamers to arrive and clean the carpets. I am working on cleaning the kitchen and organizing the cupboards and drawers again , so they look nice ( even if they won't stay that way long :). Once the carpet guys are done, I only have to clean the two remaining bathrooms. Didn't clean them yet, since they will need to use them to dump the disgusting carpet water. Cleaning bathrooms if my least favorite thing to do.. so I already got the other two out of the way.

After that.. just need to go shopping and get some food in the house.. and then pack for New York :)

Jenn.. I can't believe Fuat is going to be there this sunday... that's incredible. Jenn I wish you all the best doing the finishing touches in his expect arrival. I bet it feels and will feel surreal for awhile until you both settle in. Very happy for you both!

Yea really how many bathrooms do you have? 4? If I read it right. That has to be a pretty big place you have.

Joanna is going to be at JFK POE Saturday night at 9:45 I can't wait to hear from her when she calls me saying they let her in haha.

Does anyone know how many bottles of vodka you can bring? Her dad is trying to load up her suitcase haha. Us Poles lmao....can't stop laughing when I heard that she is going to be bringing 5 bottles I want to make sure that's ok first with customs.

You can bring in 2 liters without having to pay tax. I always bring more than that, but have never had my luggage searched. Even when I have listed it on my customs form they never noticed.. but, she has a higher risk of having her luggage checked. Worst case is that she would have to pay tax on it.

As for the bathrooms.. well 3 bathrooms and a half bath. The place is not all THAT big. It's a 2200 square foot condo. Upstairs there is a master bath, guest bath, there's one in the hallway outside the downstairs living room and a half-bath on the main floor. FAR more than any one ( or even two) person needs...I will admit that. When I told Fuat how many bathrooms we had his only response was... "WHY?"

I ask myself that question every time I have to clean them.

Jenn do you know what kind of tax they would charge. I tried searching google but couldn't find the information. Couldn't even find if she is allowed to bring 5 bottles. This isn't even our idea it's her parents which is the funny part of it.
