I've heard that there are certain POE that my wife could come through that will make it to where she could work immediately. If this is true then which POE's are these? I don't want her working immediately ( so that she has time to acclimate), but she's very eager to be employed over here and we know it could be quite a wait otherwise for her to seek legal employment. Just throwing it out. Thanks as always.

With regularity only JFK

AT JFK they only give you a temporary stamp that I believe is good for 90 days. After it expires your wife will need her EAD or AOS approved so she can continue working in the US.

Diana

Yep JFK sometimes gives the 90 day work Stamps,but no garuntees of getting it.

I talked about it here,might be interesting for you to read: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87783

Igot an EAD stamp on my I-94 on Las Vegas Mccarran International Airport but i haven't tried to apply for a job. Things are different here, you have to have a driver's license before you can get a job, i dont know in other States though.

Good luck

how can that possibly be true? what about people who never learn to drive; does that mean they can never work? seems unbelievable

maybe spidergirl means that you need some kind of State ID in order to get a job....

She did say she wasn't sure about other states. I don't think that's going to be the case nationwide. I have a friend who's husband doesn't drive and he has a job. She takes him to and from. As soon as they get moved, he'll be able to walk to work.

that being the case in ANY state I would find very hard to believe

I think the State ID idea sounds like it could be right
