Hi everyone I activated my K1 Visa at Halifax Airport yesterday at 1:30 p.m.and got into Spokane at 12:30 a.m. There were plane delays due to thunder stroms in Chicago so I lost 2 hrs time getting here. All the same though Lorry was here waiting with her beautiful smile :):)

I had a very pleasant POE at Halifax. They were very friendly and helpful took about 25 minutes to do up the stamping and paperwork they required only questions were "What's your Fiance's name, Where's she live, whens the Wedding'

When the Lady finished the stamping of everythng I asked "can I get an Employment Authorization stamp here" She said I don't see why not but I'll ask to make sure. She came back told me yep that's no problem so she stamped the back of the I 94, stamped in my passport then wrote an A # and also wrote Employment Authorized under the A# and initialed it

One question I have. I now have the Employment stamp just how long is that stamp good for? Do I still apply for the EAD? I have to now get SSN before I can use it though right?

We're getting married July 7 in the back yard. Pray it doesn't rain on our Special Day. Lorry said to pass along best wishes to all and thanks so much to everyone for helping us get to this point in our journey.

Next on the agenda AOS, Advance Parole We'll be seeking all your help in the near future. This site and the folks on here are Awesome, Simply the Best

Good luck to all, Best Regards

Allie & Lorry

PS: CutienPurg, I got my rifles through no problem. I brought on down, time to Git Er Done now LOL LOL

Very happy they let me take em with me. Take care

the stamp is temporary -- you will not be able to work until you have your SSN, and you will have to apply for the regular EAD.

Congratulations on your successful trip through US Customs! ;)
