**Correct ONLY K-1 is a "Work Authorized" visa, K-3's have to file for EAD. K-3's can only work with and actual EAD card, or after AOS is approved and use the Green-Card.

One of the reasons people should consider not going for the K-3 and just stick with the CR-1 (I-130) petition. A CR-1 visa gets a green-card upon entry, and is immediately work authorized, this along with the high cost of adjustment of status ($1010) from K-3 to get green-card.

**K-3 is issued an I-94 with an expiration nearly 2 years after entry, so you have legal presence for that long. You file for the EAD through the USCIS service that has jurisdiction over where you will live in the USA using code (a )(9 ) this will get you an EAD valid as long as the I-94 card (Up to 2 years)

You then file for AOS just before your 2nd wedding anniversary, this should result in a 10 year un-conditional green card.

EAD costs $340 if filed for before AOS but is no additional cost if allied for with AOS. Lifting conditions from a conditional green card costs $545.

The only cost to factor in is the cost of a full medical if AOS is not filed for within 1 year of getting the K-3 visa.

Good Luck,

Jamil

My fiance came in on a K-1 through JFK and received a temporary work stamp. His SS card also indicates that he can work. From my understanding, JFK is the only POE that is currently giving the stamp. Maybe someone else has received it from a different POE, but I don't think so.
