A work permit is called an EAD. You can apply for an EAD as soon as you enter BUT it will only be good until the 90 days from your arrival and since it takes 60-90 days to get the card it is pointless

That dose not apply to k1 visas but to spousal visas your interview will be booked via your embassy not NVC.

Proposed fee increase for I-485 is about $1140 (currently $985). If it's passed, will probably be effective in Nov. 2016 ( last fee increase was in Nov. 2010).
