You need to get married, file for AOS with EAD.

EAD allows you to work in US.

Hope that helps otherwise may other senior members help you out with more detailed information

File Adjustment of Status first which includes EAD (employment).

I'd suggest to revise those plans.

You can apply for EAD without submitting AOS, but you'll have to pay for it and it's validity period will be 90 days from your entry (and it will take about two months anyway). Best option is to get married and file for AOS / EAD (at this point you do not pay for EAD and it will have 1 year validity period).

You cannot work immediately upon arriving to the US. Expect a 3 months period of not working, at least.
