Hello to all.

If a european citizen enters the US as a visitor (visa waiver program), then could she obtain a temporary work permit at JFK point-of-entry? She is looking to work for 10 weeks while she's visiting the US.

Thank you!

she could come as a K1 fiance, for example, and receive EAD at JFK airport. but then she is assumed to get married within the 90 days window given for K1 fiancees...

not as visitor, though

I think that's called visa fraud.

That's what I wanted to find out. We do not intend to commit visa fraud. She will not work while she's here. Thanks!

K3 does not get the stamp at JFK either. They can only file and wait for the card once here.
