JFK EAD stamp

[Stardust72 0]

JFK can discontinue that practice at any time, it is not required to stamp K-1 as work authorized, SSA will issue the SSN to K-1s with or without the stamp, SSA considers K-1 to be "Work authorized" for the 90 days of the I-94 card.

Is this true? I hadn't heard about this. I am not nearly at that point, but I was considering going through JFK just for the EAD stamp. But if it's not even necessary, that totally changes things.

Yes it's necessary to either have the stamp or an EAD. While K1s can work, they don't have a document to show an employer to comply with the I-9 rules if they don't have a stamp or EAD.

When you get close to your arrival date, you can double check, but it seems JFK has been pretty consistently giving stamps for a long time.

Well, I'm glad that's cleared up. That means I will most likely pick JFK as my POE once I get my visa. I will have to check before I actually book that flight though.

hello its my first post but have read several info on this site that has been very helpful. my fiance came in july and through jfk. On her visa is a card stapled and stamped class k-1 admitted nyc and next to this stamp on the same card is a departure number and below it is a I-94 departur record. On the back of this card on the first line is says ( warning ) a nonimmigrant who accepts unauthorized employment is subject to departure.. My ? is ? can she work with this card ?? im gussing NO but reading several posts about comming through jfk it seems like to me several are automaticly authorized. Thanks for any info in advance Kerry

EWWM NITCH KAH:

When my then fiance came through JFK back in April they stamped the I-94 "NYC 32 Employment Authorized: (Date)" then they hand wrote the date and A#. Do you have this stamp? If yes then she can work.

In the past, Yodrak wrote this to me in a e-mail:

"An I-94 with an entry stamp marked 'K1' is not an acceptable EAD for I-9 purposes.

An I-94 with an entry stamp marked 'K1' and with a stamp or handwritten notation saying 'employment authorized' is an acceptable EAD for I-9 purposes.

I hope this helps
