When will I be able to work with a K1 Visa, is it after I get married or
will I be able to work before? I read somewhere that I ask at the
immigration at the airport?

Thanks

Some people go through JFK and receive a temporary EAD stamp. I didn't get it, so I'm not 100% sure how it works, butI believe it will expire when your K1 expires after 90 days. If you don't get the EAD stamp at the POE then you will have to apply for a EAD (along with your AOS) after you get married. Depending on where you live it can take a while for you to receive it. I live in Atlanta and got married on September 10th, mailed my EAD application off around September 30th and still don't have my EAD in hand. I'm expecting it by the end of this month though. Other people who have applied for theirs after I have already received theirs.

Steel,

You will be able to work when you obtain both an EAD (Employment Authorization Document) and a SSC (Social Security Card). These can be obtained, or at least be applied for, either before or after you get married.

When I landed at Houston I got my I94 stamped employment authorised I think this last for 90 days, as soon as I could I went to apply for my social security number. I filled in one form and the only question the person I saw at the SS office asked was I authorised to work. And that was that I too came over on a K1 visa.

I as far as I know if you have a SSN number/and you can work.
