Hi,

My K-1 interview was on Sept 30th at Chennai consulate and it went well. i am yet to receive the passport. I have some questions if someone can throw some light on it.

1. I have been to US on H1B visa and i already have SS Number. On top of SS card it says "valid for work only with DHS authorization". Do i have to apply for the new SS number or change something to my current one or do nothing?

2. Do they need any sort of documentation at POE? Do i need to keep all the documents handy that were submitted along with the K-1 petition or were shown at the interview?

3. Can i get EAD at the airport?

4. Is there any other list of documents that i should carry with me at POE?

Nothing to do. What your SS card is telling you is that you can not work unless you have a valid work authorization from Immigration, the EAD or GC are two.

2. Do they need any sort of documentation at POE? Do i need to keep all the documents handy that were submitted along with the K-1 petition or were shown at the interview?

Just need your passport with the K-1 in it and the sealed envelope which they will take from you.

3. Can i get EAD at the airport?

No, they don't issue those anymore. Can only get one by filing along with your AOS after you get married.

4. Is there any other list of documents that i should carry with me at POE?

1. If you apply with K1 status, your card will also say "valid for work only with DHS authorization". I believe you do not need to apply for a new one until you have your greencard (which will remove teh "valid for work only with DHS authorization" clause)

2. You need the sealed envelope that is sent with your visa

3. No, even if they do stamp it it doesn't mean anything for K1s. You need an EAD.

4. Passport/Visa/Sealed envelope should be all you need
