Temp Work Stamp

[NigerianLove 0]

Hello All,

If this his been posted somewhere else, please point me in the right direction and you will not have to respond. My fiance entered with a temp work stamp. He has his SS card. Question: I've been hesitating on him finding a good job because I'm concerned that after we get married the stamp will no longer be valid and he will lose his job. Does anyone have any experience on if companies check after they hire you or will he likely receive his permanent EAD before they get around to checking? I don't want him to lose out on a wonderful opportunity and I don't want to do anything illegal.

Thanks

In an ideal world you should get your EAD within 90 days after getting your NOA1. Pending checks are cashed on time, and there is no RFE request. Sometimes it is received prior to 90 days.

The temp EAD stamp that is placed on the I-94 (sometimes when your POE is JFK) is good for 90 days. If for example you marry 1 week after you enter the US and then file say 5 days later. And say that applications were processing correctly and there wasn't a lag of processing of applications due to the fee increase. Then after you get your NOA1 you should get your EAD within 90 days. And then maybe there is no lag if the EAD comes through in less then 90 day and all goes through without any RFE's. A rare situation, but possible.

We got married 2 1/2 months after my then fiance entered the US. Then he got his EAD in 70 days, but we filed at the end of June before the fee increase and we got a NOA1 date of July 4. Which for us just happened to be the same day that the I-94 expired. So if my husband was working then we would of been lucky and to have something (NOA1) to show to an employer. In this case would he of been working "illegally" from July 4 - Sept 13???? Technically yes, but an employer may of been ok with the NOA1. Is it legal? I can't say, it would be is the employer comfortable with the situation. If you marry and file and have a NOA1 letter prior to the I-94 expiring that might make the employer happy - but things are going so slow these days. People appear to be waiting a month to just get checks cashed! I don't think I answered your question, but have presented thoughts in the direction of your question. Food for thought... Best of luck to you both.
