Am a hairstylist. Someone gave me an offer to start managing her saloon which is very close to my house,just like 3 minites trekking. Just submitted my AOS. I think is illegal to do that, she saw my daughter hairstyle which i made she like it since then she has been qcalling me to work with her in her second saloon. Personal i have it in mind to start making hair after getting my EAD bcos that what I do from my country.

You can not legally work with out your approved EAD. This can come back to bite you in your future dealings with your immigration journey. Please do not work until you have your approved EAD.

Thanks for your reply. Am not in haste to work at all, but sometimes I get tired of staying at home, which is one of the price to pay as a K1 visa holder.

My hubby told me not try it but i just want others opinion on visajourney. I made up my mind no work untill i get my EAD no matter how long it take. It very risky, it can destroy the whole journey.

Good for you for making the proper decision.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Definitely do not work without EAD in hand. 

 

Also, saloon - a type of tavern in American Wild West; salon - place for grooming services to include haircuts or a reception room.

Fact 1: Working without an EAD is unauthorized employment. Fact 2: unauthorized employment is forgiven when AOSing with a US Citizen spouse. Not my words, not a loophole, but express law from Congress.

 

Anyone who has a problem with Fact 2 should take it up with Congress, not me.

Also, you will want to look up licensing requirements for your state, which for hairdressers is usually managed through the department of health.

Personally, I do my best work in a Saloon.
