Work Permit and marriage license (merged)

[Tufail Muhammad 0]

Hello,

I came to the US on June, 19 on a K1 visa. My marriage will take place on July, 23. Is there a way to apply for a work permit before i get married to save sone time?

Thanks.

It's not worth it since the ead will only be valid til your i94 is valid, and the processing time to get it is around 90 days, meaning you'd probably get it and wouldn't be able to use it. Also, if applied before aos, you have to pay for it.

**** Moving from K1 to AOS from K1 forum *****

As mentioned above, you can apply but it would not be processed in time, and you';d need to re-apply after the wedding with AOS.

Hello,

Is it possible to get a marriage license before my actual marriage takes place which is almost four weeks from now? I want to be able to save time.

You have to have a license in order to get married. Are you referring to the certificate? If yes, then you can only get one after you get married.

Marriage license is what you apply for before getting married. The marriage certificate is what you get after you are married and the marriage has been registered with the court.

I think you meant your wedding reception will be on July 23.

You can always go into city hall and get your marriage certificate anytime if you dont mind having a few weeks of gap between the actual marriage certificate and the wedding reception.
