I'm genuinely curious where it states one would need an EAD for work outside of the US?

This question lies squarely at the intersection of immigration & tax law, and the short answer is no. There is no law that allows working remotely in the U.S. for a foreign employer. Chapter 3 of IRS Publication 519, US Tax Guide for Aliens spells out why such remote work is not permitted.Jul 12, 2022

An EAD is required only for work inside the US.

Initially we avoided the spousal visa because she is Venezuelan and it seemed difficult/potentially impossible for two non citizens to get married in Colombia.

The Utah online marriage eliminates all obstacles to foreign marriage difficulties.

Sounds like you started the K-1 journey without having any plans on moving to the US anytime soon. I'd say cancel the K-1 and let her stay in her country until she is done with what she needs to finish up (work, was it?), however long that takes, and reapply after.

OP never said anything about working remotely inside the US for a foreign employer though. Leaving the US to go work in Colombia is not working remotely for a foreign employer. So why would the OP need an EAD to work in Colombia if they depart from the US (with an approved AP) while their AOS is pending?

Living and working abroad while only having AP….sounds like abandonment of green card even before obtaining it.

Apples and oranges. My post wasn’t about if the OP would still have a valid petition or not. It was about addressing the misinformation about needing an EAD to work for a foreign employer while outside the US.
