A K-1 is work authorized for 90 days. You potentially will have a gap until you get your EAD. As long as you are work authorized it should not matter. What kind of equipment are you type rated in?

This is the period of time I was referring to.. I don't know if he could get a hire as a 90 day K-1. Especially without an EAD (somehow I think they might actually do I-9s in the flying business).

Once he's LPR, no problem. With EAD, I don't know.

He will be fine with EAD but not until

Like one year EAD. Or you think the 90 day would be fine (presuming he could get an actual document) as well?

What makes you think I wont be able to work in the USA as a pilot after K1? Im not arguing the point Im just curious as to how you came ot this conclusion. The whole thing is making me have sleepless nights. My better half and I are just looking for the quickest way that we can be together and that I will be allowed to work and fly for an american company. As we have both learned the hard way through our relationship that the opportunities for us are better down there.

My airline has had many foreign national pilots (Canadian, Greek, German, etc...) who were LPR's working with greencards. The only issue is the background checks take longer.

The only problem is with the K1 I will not have a greencard yet. I might be taking a big risk in the fact I dont have one and will only have a work permit to get hired.

I don't think this is correc. The K-1 does not auhriorise working unless you have the temporary work permit given at POE usually NYC.

edsperfect,

Point of clarification: there is a difference between being employment authorized (EA) and having a document that shows that a person is employment authorized (an EAD).

K1s are EA, but few of them have an EAD.

The SSA will issue a SS card to a K1 because they are EA, but an employer cannot hire a K1 unless they have an EAD.

This is my concern. Does a K1 give you a work permit when I get to NYC? or do I have to apply for that seperate. If its only temporary are u guys telling me its going to only last a bit then I have to quit working?

The answer is potentially a little bit of both. The K-1 provides for up to 90 days of employment authorization. If you get the temporary stamp upon arrival at the POE (JFK?) then you are ready to go. Then in order to continue to work you will have had to of applied and received you EAD (I-765) or adjusted you status and received you conditional green card before the 90 days is expired. So the gap is a real potential one if you do not get AOS or EAD in time.

The problem is that all the major international airports in Canada have PFI's, so he won't be able to get the temp EAD at JFK -- he will already have cleared customs before then. And none of the PFI's that I know of issue the temp EAD.

SO unless I am mistaken (and feel free correct me if I am) is the OP is gonna have to wait for a bit before working.

The Saskatoon airport does not have pre-clearance there. I was there 1st part of Oct and from talking with the Canadian customs people, there is of yet, no plans for a pre-clearance from there. Only prob is, not sure about getting direct flight from there to JFK.

Cassie,

Might try crossing by land into Detroit, Ambassador Bridge or Windsor Tunnel, and flying on from there. The EAD stamp may possibly still be available at those POEs.

I understand that Halifax also does not have pre-clearance. Not sure though . Anyone know where I can find a current list of POEs?

If it receives international passenger flights it is a POE. From Canada, if it has US bound international departures you will pre-clear except in Halifax and one other I believe
