If anyone has got any info or advise on how long it takes before you can start working once you enter the states on a K3 it will be much appreciated.

I am baffled as to which petition to follow the CR1 or the K3...
I need to work shortly after entering the US....

Please help!

Thanks
Sam

you said you need to work shortly when entered, well dont you need SSN first before you allowed to work

If you enter on a K3 you will need to file for a Employment Authorization Document and SSN, it takes about 90 days to get the EAD and then once you have that you can apply for a SSN...

If you enter on a CR1/IR1 then you can work from the day you enter the US but you will need a SSN and it will take about 2 - 4 weeks to get...

Hope this helps
