Entering the US before beneficiary's contract end date (but on unpaid leave) with the K1

[TannerH 3]

To put it simply, we have scheduled our flight for mid September to move to the US but my fiance's working arrangement (its with German public media they have weird setups, I am trying to understand if she even has a traditional contract but she is currently occupied) has her scheduled until mid October. 

 

She will regardless get the remaining time off unpaid, and does not intend to work for a new employer until her EAD is approved. Will this cause any problems with the CBP agent on entry? Do they even contact beneficiary employers or is it just asking her if she is currently working to which she could essentially answer no? 

 

I hope this question makes sense. It often isn't so easy to leave a company outside the US, and we committed to this mid September timeline overlooking this (it is also hard to plan more than a month in advance with this opaque visa process anyways).
