If I came here on K1 and get married, am I allowed to work after the wedding or do I have to apply for an EAD and posses one? I am really confused about all this process, as I am here for 3 weeks and still don't know where to start from to be eligible to work legally here! (I applied for a SSN but that takes 30-60 days). We'll be getting married on the 13th of March and I don't know if is something I should do now to help me be eligible to work as soon as possible!
Thank you!
Thank you!

So, do I need to posess the EAD after I get married to be allowed to work? If so, I won't be able to work until the EAD will be approved, right?

My advice is have everything in order for your AOS/EAD app so you can apply as soon as possible after you're married.

Try to call them, they might have the # already. The card will come later

Don't waste your time calling. Look at EM-03061
You need to go back into the office to check on the status of an SSN
application and take your documents with you. Ask them to check SAVE again.
Ask if they sent a G-845 and did it come back if you still can't verify
through SAVE.
Read and take EM-02091 with you.
