My girlfriend is in the UK. Is it possible for her to come over to the US on a fiance
visa and work?

Or does she have to come over and then we have to get married before she is
eligible to work?

Any other options for her to come over and work, us to get to know each other, and
then get married since we seem to be headed in that direction, but of course want
ample time to be sure.

Thanks so much, Peter [email protected]

A fiancé visa is only valid for 90 days. During which time you must marry and file
Adjustment of Status paperwork for her to remain in the US. Occasionally (and it is
getting rarer), a fiancé is granted a 90 day EAD (work authorization) stamp when
entering the US. With that, and a social security number, she could work for 90 days,
or until the K-1 expires. By then she should have her AOS paperwork filed, along with
an I-765 for the one year EAD card. However, if the 90 day EAD expires before the new
1 year EAD arrives, she would have to quit working. Take Care. Shelley
