My wife has been approved for the K3 visa. She will be coming to the US next week. My I130 is still pending. Can she apply for the SSN upon her arrival. Can she apply for EAD.

For her K3 visa, she was asked to bring DS230 part 1. From the discussion forum, it appears that once you sign DS230, you have to continue with counsular processing. Did anyone else have to sign DS230 for K3

The DS230 is usually used by immigrant visa units to open a case file. It is not used for your K3, but it for the consulates use.

You cannot apply for a SSN with a K3 until an EAD has been issued. You can apply for an EAD by sending an I-765 to the same address where you sent in the I-129F for the K3.

After your spouse arrives in the US, you have a choice to get permanent residency. You can either continue with the I-130 process through the NVC and have another interview at your home consulate for the CR-1 visa. Or you can file an I-485 to the Chicago Lockbox and get the GC from your local district office. Which way you want to go is up to you.

With her having to already submit the DS230 part 1 form, does this mean her file is opened at the consulate. I am a little confused here.

What are the options for her to apply for a drivers license
