Applying for EAD and leaving country
It seems like some of the EAD waiting pressure might be relievable if it were possible to enter the country on say a two-week vacation and activate the K3, and then return to the home country (and continue working) and wait out the 90ish days for the EAD to come through from there.
Provided there is an address you can use in the US, is there anything legally problematic with this?

Personally don't see the problem (but then I'm not an attorney) with this as the K-3 is a multiple entry visa. I'm assuming the USC spouse will be remaining in the US unless they are free to travel for up to three months or so. However, bear in mind that you have to be in the US for biometrics for the EAD which can come a month or perhaps a few weeks after submission of the I-765.

Thanks for the information about biometrics. I didn't realise that could be done so soon. Another short vacation then.

That is what we will be doing. As soon as I get my K3, I will cross the border for the day to get my I-94, come back the same day and send everything in. Once I have my bio appt. I'll make the plane trip to visit at the same time.
