working on k1 visa

[er@mar 0]

Hi everyone,

I am entering the States on a K1 fiance visa. I was wondering about my possibilities to work. I already have a good opportunity that I don't want to waste but at the same time I don't know how long it will take until I become legaly elegibile to work.

Any suggestions?

Moving to proper forum - working and traveling during immigration.

OP, you CAN NOT work until you have an EAD.

After you get married and file for AOS / EAD it will take about 3-4 month to get your EAD, so you will be elligible to work.

Hi,

As it's been mentioned previously, you are NOT allowed to work on a K-1. The K-1 only allows you to move to the U.S. to marry and stay while your AOS is pending. You need first to activate your visa by entering the U.S, get married and apply for a EAD/AP with your AOS application.

And you will need a Social Security Number before you can start working.
