work permit

[LaL 418]

One other thing you may do is to plan your return flight to arrive at Kennedy International in NY, the POE officers there stamp the passport with a temporary work stamp. Can work as soon as you get a SSN. I don't know how long they will continue the practice there at Kennedy.

There's been talk that after Oct 1, 2006 they are no longer doing it. Check before you waste your $$ trying to fly through there.

Local offices are (supposed to) no longer issue interim EAD's, however this is not the same thing as getting the document at JFK. I haven't seen anything yet that suggests JFK will cease providing these.

Do we have to be approved for the adjustment of status before they issue him a work permit...or will he be able to work while we are waiting for the temperary residency to be completed?

The conclusion of the adjustment of status is well, his status is adjusted to Permanent Resident. PRs have permission to live work and travel in/out of the US. They get a Green Card to prove this.

The work permit (EAD) is the temporary fix to hold him over until his AOS is complete.

His residency isn't really 'temporary', he will be a Legal Permanent Resident after AOS, just with one more paper to file.

recommend the following reads to anyone who is becoming a Permanent Resident, so you can better understand your rights and responsibilities.

Kill the rumors!

I've only read about it in a few postings here----and no one knows wehre the rumor came from.

I *did* hear that they'll do away with work auth for K-1s altogether, but nothing has happened with that.

Thank you for letting us know. Maybe I should try to go through JFK as well.

meauxna,

Maybe the rumor came from this USCIS Public Notice.

One can still apply and be approved for interim EA at a local District or Sub office, but such offices will no longer produce the cards. So one can expect to go home without it (the card).

OK, no alluding here.

My fiancé just came in 10/1 through JFK and got his work permit. Dont' know if this is ending as Devilette suggests. I googled it but didn't find anything.

(question: when giving opinions or possible info , why would one "allude"?)

My POE was JFK too, Sept 20, 2006 but my I-194 has no stamp of that "temporary work permit"...just the duration of how long i have to stay here in the US.

Did ur fiance asked the immigration office for that stamp or it is customary on their part to put a stamp "temporary work permit" on what part of your VISA/Passport or I-94????

Hi,

What do they stamp and/or write on your I-94? Mine is just the rubber stap oblong size of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection, the word ADMITTED NYC, Sept 20, 2006 Class is K1 and untill Dec 19, 2006. So, for me this is just the duration of how long I am allowed to stay here, no particular indication that I am allowed to work........ I wonder what they wrote or stamp on your I-94????

Please let me know. Thanks.
