so here is the thing right now I am waiting for the EAD to be approved during my AOS I am a k1 holder and I am applying for jobs online didnt even have any interviews yet but on most applications online they ask if I am legal to work in the U.S? so I answer Yes knowing that I dont have my EAD yet does that hurt my immigration process?

My husband did it to practice. We sent resumes out and hoped for the best. He did get called for a handful of interviews. In 2 occasions, he got rejected for not having the EAD; so yes, it does happen. It doesn't affect the immigration process. The same day he received the EAD in the mail, he had 2 interviews. So, the next day after receiving the card, he had a job offer which he accepted.

Good luck!

Don't ever do anything you're not willing to explain the paramedics.
