Could I ask what is the 90 day stamp. Is this something for fiance's, or will it be something I need as the spouse of a USC.

Btw, my husband came here on a K3 through Newark from the UK, not once but twice and both times they wouldn't take his "mysterious brown envelope "he got from London.

The stamp in question is the temporary right to work one and sadly the chances of you getting a stamp at a POE as a SPOUSE are about 99.9 % against it. IMHO, it is a misguided rule that a spouse would not need/want one less than someone coming here as a fiance/fiancee. However that is the way it is and you can currently expect it to take close to 6 months to get the EAD and then a SSN. Therefore apply for the EAD ASAP after getting here.

thanks for that, however I thought that I had an automatic right to work once I was issued the visa. If I become a LPR why would i not be able to work? Would this be different if I went through JFK.

This is why I thought once issued with my visa i need only apply for my SSN when I get there.

broma, that is correct. When you enter with your IV, you are work and travel authorized, already in Perm Resident status, Green Card Holder, however you want to word it, you are basically 'done' when you enter with an IV.
You may find that your SS# is already applied for (via your DS-230) and on its way to your US addy within a couple of weeks. It's always a good idea to wait a business week before checking wtih Social Security, to give time for your name/status to update.

Do all "non jfk" airports not put the K1 stamp on the passport?
As I understand (from one your earlier posts), it is the stamp on the passport that activates the k1 and lets you work for 90 days.
I recvd just a stamp on my passport - can I use that stamp in conjunction with my original Soc Sec Number (recvd as a student in 1988) to work?
Thanks.
