CR1 and working

[Residentangel 1]

I apologize if this is in here, I couldn't find it. The CR1 allows you to work immediately after crossing the border. Do you receive a work authorization or green card to prove this? With the K3, you apply for AOS and EAD at the same time.

Thank you everybody!

Yes one of the MAJOR benefits of getting the CR1 - can work day 1! The stamp in your passport is your proof of being allowed to work.

That and your brand new Social Security Number

That is awesome. That's one of the deciding factors for me! I guess we'll go the CR1 route then. (Even though it's only Montreal that processes them.) What's a few more months compared to the rest of our lives together?

Thank you so much for your help!

Let me tell you - the waiting times are pretty much the same when it comes to Montreal. I know because I filed there. Now, CR-1 is only for married couples. Are you guys married already? if so, you might want to change your signature...
