Angelika,
A K3 is not eligible for an EAD on arrival. They need to apply for it.

Re: EAD stamp for K3 at JFK holders as well?
Hello, sorry it took me a few to get back to you about the stamp. Im really not sure about the stamp. Driss asked when he was with the immagration officer at JFK for this stamp. She told him that she will make sure that he will recieves this stamp. We know that we still have to apply for a EAD card and all before he would be able to work. But this will allow us to get things going faster I think. She was a really nice lady and took some time with him to get him through faster. She spoke with him in French so it helped so much. Hope this will help you some. 
Best of luck to you

K-3s are not entitled to a work authorization stamp. The fact that an examiner at the JFK POE gave one does not mean that it will happen again. Nor does it mean that the recipient of said stamp will be allowed to get a social security card without the actual EAD in hand.
If coming into JFK would be a normal route for you then go for it, in my opinion. If you are going to spend a few hundred dollars to go through JFK on the chance of getting the stamp, the choice is yours on how you want to spend your money.
I know that your husband is little on the low side in funds these days with all the traveling as are you because you quit your job before the I-129F was approved stateside, so I fully understand your quest for knowledge ;-)

Out of curiosity I was asking Alicia if this stamp actually may expedite getting her husband the permission to work. This may show in the near future. I was aware of the limitations of k3 holders and had read up on EAD FAQ. But who knows?
BTW...I have a new job for 2 months now. So I can sustain myself. But it feels a bit weird to be forced into non-working for (indefinite) time after the move to the USA. A very common concern I guess.

SA,
"this stamp" is permission to work. It is 1 of 2 forms of EAD, the other form being a card.

I agree.
My POE was JFK, I asked the officer if I could get the EAD stamp, he smiled at me and said, I am sorry but that is only available for K1's
Hope that helps!

If we thought there was a chance for her to get any kind of stamp on a K-3 we would no doubt do it. Since the FAQs said that K-3 visa holders have to apply here in the US once they get here, and send in the petition to the Chicago office where the petition for K-3s are sent.. This is what we will do!
As far as my money goes, we are doing alright! Thanks for your concern however Rete!
