One of advantages of a K-1 visa as listed on USCIS website is that I can be employed!!
Im confused!
And if i come in to USA on a K-1 visa,,,why do you mention I-94??
K-1 is a NON-Immigrant visa and like all NON-Immigrant visas, has an I-94 card attached at POE with a 90 day expiration stamped on it, the I-94 card indicates when a marriage is needed to be done or when the stay in country expires if no marriage has taken place.
The K-1 is considered to be "Work authorized" by the Social Security department to allow a person to get SSN, due to a federal law on the books that requires both persons signing on a marriage license to have SSN, some states follow that law to the letter and this gives K-1 holders a problem getting married without SSN.
K-1 by itself is not work authorized with out EAD, either by a stamp, or card from USCIS. Some border crossings from Canada will stamp the K-1 with temp EAD stamp, and only a few airport POE still do the same, JFK is one.
