Are point of Entry work permits history?

Anyone else slightly confused by Skemper??

Um I suppose what he is saying is that you can get the Temp 90 day EAD stamp from anywhere but you have to go in and ask for it somewhere (didn't quite understand where...) and you don't necessarily have to get it from your POE....Although somehow I think it would be a lot easier to just fly into JFK or some few other places and simply ASK for the stamp from Immigration. Although I understand that not ALL people have easy access to JFK (like for instance the UK)....But regardless you have to get an SS card (which I knew about before).

No, you dont' ask for it from anywhere it's the normal stamp that is placed on the I-94, there is nothing else extra. With that I-94 you can work for 90 days, period. There's nothing confusing about it. People here make it more confusing than it actually is........ did you get my link for the I-9?

AND they don't give the EAD's like they used to at JFK, if you call, they're goign to say they don't do that anymore, because what they USED to give is a one-year EAD, they DON'T anymore, they just stamp the I-94 like they're supposed to do and that's it. That IS your 90-dat EAD, not the one year, but a 90-day EAD. It's not confusing at all.

I am confused even though what you (Skemper) have written is very clear.

I'm confused because if the stamp receved at the POE in the I-94 was valid for 90 days of work, I would *think* a ton of people who already know about this and have used it.

I will certainly ask at my fiance's POE the next time I come through there (mid-April) about exactly what they stamp and what it's good for, but of course their information is not always accurate. The true test will be when he asks an employer if that is acceptable until he has his real EAD.

There is no stamp on the I-94 that says "EAD". What they do stamp is that you have entered the country, and that your I-94 and Visa expire on ______ (90 days). The I-94 IS your EAD for 90 days.

See this link, it's the I-9 form, on page three it shows what you need to show eliginiity to work. The I-94 is on List A. This is your 90-day temporary EAD, you CAN use this to start working as soon as you get your SS card BUT can only work until the expiration date. My husband, went to work for two national companies that DO NOT hire people unless they have ;egal authorization towork in the U.S. and this is the temp EAD. His bosses even told him he needed to get his new EAD before his I-94 expires or else he could no longer work for them, and he didn't get it and he could no longer work.

My hubby did not go through JFK, but through Miami, thank I did my reserach cause we would have paid and extra $500-$800 just to go through JFK.

Like anything here, I sugesst you do your own research, I made calls (tons of them) and this is what happened to me, plain and simple. Like I said, I love this site, it's helped me TREMENDOUSLY, through allof this, and without a lawyer. You just have to cross your t's, dot your i's check, check and check again.

Hope this helps!

Errrrr, the I-94 is not your EAD for 90 days, the stamp that says 'work authorized until (date)' is! It just happens to be on your I-94 and has the same expiration date...

I'm not sure whether you're arguing that you can work for 90 days upon arrival regardless of whther you have the temp EAD or not, or if I just don't really understand what you're on about

[BlueRain77 0]

I was going to say! The I-94 is the paper that ALL people fill out when you enter in the US (tourists, immigrants, etc). I guess i am not understand WHERE you get this EAD stamp from if not from the POE....You have to have some form of Stamp or something in regards to EAD to even get the SS card with Work Authorization on it. (remember it is different for K visas then it is for Cr-1 people)

She's saying everyone gets the stamp in their I-94 automatically upon entry allowing them to work for 90 days. Since we haven't seen this to be true, it's confusing.

Here is what the I-9 says:

Unexpired foreign passport,with I-551 stamp or attached Form I-94 indicating unexpired employment authorization.

The question is, what if anything has to be on the I-94 indicating unexpired employment authorization. I think it is skemper19's premise that the I-94 is sufficient "standing alone" and no additional indication needs to be noted. It would be great if that is all that is required.

I think we all understand that a K-1 has EA incident to status but the real question is trying to get an employer to understand this.

Okay, all I'm saying is that my husband came through MIA, did not get and EAD stamp, but the regular entrance stamp and was able to work legally for 90 days. That's it, just wanted to share my TRUE experience with all fo you. Do what you will!

Problem is, it could be that his employer accepted that stamp. Ultimately, it's the employer's responsibility although it's clear that many of them don't understand what is legally acceptable so it's hard to know if his employer made an error or if just having the regular stamp in some legal way allows authorized work.

What you are saying is that your husband worked during those 90 days... I do not think you can say definitively that he worked "legally" .

[skemper19 0]

His TWO employers confimred with their national headqurters. He didn't work for Joe Blow's supermarket but for national firms. Sorry guys, we did everything legally and legitimate. It's up to you to confirm. I did, and this is what happened for us, legally tried and true. have fun! DOnt have time to keep responding to this. It is what it is, take it or leave it!

On this link you can check out a scan of a L1, above you can bearly read WA and a kind of "S". I guess WA stands for Work authorisation.

this is different from a clasical stamp as below

Can anyone confirm:

1/ this stamp exist

2/ you can get it at JFK

3/ any recent experience would be appreciated

Thanks to all, I m flying in next week

Okay, I decided on one more reply before I rest this. I also did some resercah and found a public memo form teh SSA to all branch offices advising that as of some date in 2003 (I think), i-94's for K-1 Visa Holders were allowed to receive their SS card and work until the I-94 expired. I'll do some resercah to see if I still have that memo, but it clearly states that.

That stamp is for a J-1 (exhange) visa. The next line is D/S which means Duration of Status.

The EA stamp is a red, smugy stamp that says "Employment Authorized"
