That is really still up for debate on here. One school of thought says no, unless you came through JFK and got the temp EAD stamp. One school of thought says yes, the K-1 is work authorized for the first 90 days even without an EAD to prove it.

So, I guess the choice is really yours. If you can find an employer to hire you, go ahead and work. Even if the work was unauthorized, USCIS will forgive it. But good luck finding an employer who will hire you without the documents required on the I-9 (employment eligibility form for new hires).
