I have read some conflicting advice on this and other sites (however I am more inclined to follow advice from this site) on whether the K1 Visa entitles the recipiant to work once stamped on arrival, or does the recipient need to apply for a seperate work permit once in country? It was my understanding initially that a work permit was needed in addition to the visa, however I have read on this site that the immigration officers at some of the airports are telling newly arrived immigrants that the stamp acts as their green card until they receive their AOS. Can anyone clarify what the actual situation is?

Many thanks

Only CR-1 and IR-1 immigrant visa holders get the I-551 "temp green-card" stamp because they ARE a newly arrived immigrant.

Some airports stamp K-1 visas (I-94) card with an temp EAD stamp, but most do not. Note: K-1 visa is not an immigrant visa so would not get a "green-card" stamp, K-1s are NON-IMMIGRANTS and need to do several things before they can even get a green-card, they need to first marry and then adjust status.

K-1s are considerd to be work authorizided for the 90 days of the I-94 even with out the EAD stamp, now trying to find an employer that will hire someone with out EAD card or stamp is a different matter. http://www.kamya.com/ssn/em00154.pdf

Also most employers will need a SSN in addition to EAD before hiring someone.
