We need more details about your situation. You left everything in your profile blank as well as no timeline.

Which Consulate, Country, Local office, where are you now, in the USA, outside? If here how long (timeline helps with this) Married yet, starting on AOS?

You say company, understand it takes time to get a work permit on K1. You may check with the local USCIS office about work permit before moving to LA.

You will get more responses if you provide more info in your profile and timeline, you know the adage "You will attract more bees with honey than with vinegar."

I've never heard of an emergency EAD for K1 visa holders. You can try and get a temp one if your POE is JFK or you'd have to apply for EAD: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=k1k3ead#k1

No, there is not. You either take a 3+ month vacation from work or have your employer chop chop for an L1 application.

If you enter the US with the K, you are 'just' another K-1 & have the same restrictions as other K-1s who would like to start working immediately.
