Temporary EAD when fiance arrives

[modmodgirl 2]

I found a part time job for my fiance, but he obviously needs an EAD to work. It's a temporary job, but how can he get an authorization to work there when he arrives in the US. I have heard a temporary EAD costs $340 dollars but it can take 60 days to get. Is there anyway to get the paperwork started before his arrival or is this even possible?

Nope nothing you can do at this time. And even then if you did pay the money and it took 60 days the EAD is only valid for 90 days.

- Also to add, no work without an SSN, you would be hard pressed to get one that quickly after arrival so work can begin.

Op - If you want to speed up process, get married as soon as your fiancee arrives then file for AOS/AP/EAD at the same time. AP/EAD are free if filed with AOS application.

AP/EAD are good for one year while your AOS application is being processed. The process takes about 60 days.

VJ has an AOS checklist that you can reference.
