Question on Working
What do i need to have/ do to be able to work as soon as i land in California. If i
get married the frist week i am there , does that automatically give me authorisation
to work. Does it benefit me to go to a "helpful" Port of Entry - eg. Atlanta , ( i
am going to Live in LA)
any help gratefully recieved, thanks Dave

Re: Question on Working
To work, you will need and EAD (Employmeny Authorisation Document). Some ports of entry give out (or have given out in the past) temporary EADs which last for 90 days, by which time you have to be married. I have heard that Detroit (where I came in) gives them out, but I did not ask for one. I'm not sure about Atlanta.

I entered at Atlanta in May and was told that they no longer give out EADs there

Re: More Questions on Working
Thanks for the advice from both of you. I guess i will go direct to California. Say i
get married in the first week - and then fill out an I 765 - realistically how long
before i can work ? DT

I thought that they stopped issuing temporary EADs at ports of entry because K1 visa
is itself a valid document that allows you to work temporarily for 90 days from
admission to the US (or so I heard). During those 90 days you have to get married
anyway and apply for the 1 year EAD card.

Re: Question on Working
I entered through Detroit in May, my stamped I-94 serves as a temp (90 day) EAD. I
was able to get a SSN with no trouble. Also its worth saying again, that walk in AOS
for K-1's in Detroit get automatic EAD if/when the Adjustment is approved, you dont
even have to fill in the form for it !

Re: Question on Working
Does anyone know if they give out temp EAD's for K-3's or just K-1's? And if I'm flying into the U.S. do they give them out at U.S.Customs here in Canada? or once I get to the airport in the U.S.? what counts as the POE?
Thanks!
Thanks!

And if they don't give the stamp for K-1's, they won't give them for the K-3's.
