EAD stamp from DC airports?

[katie1726 0]

Hi Everyone,

My fiance is just about to go for his interview, so I am looking into flight options. I understand that JFK is the best place to fly into for ensuring that he gets an EAD stamp. But, does anyone know if we have any chance of getting one through a DC airport (namely, Dulles, thats where the flights from Zambia come in to.) It sounds like JFK gives them out without even asking... but if he were to ask, how likely would he be to get one at Dulles?

Thanks for your advice everyone!!

Peace,

Katie

Only other air ports I have seen EAD stamp issued are Dallas and San Fransisco.

K-1 can work for the 90 days of the I-94 with or without the stamp.

Per form I-9 used by employers.

LIST A Documents that Establish Both Identity and Employment Eligibility

5. An unexpired foreign passport with an unexpired Arrival-Departure Record, Form I-94, bearing the same name as the passport and containing an endorsement of the alien's nonimmigrant status, if that status authorizes the alien to work for the employer

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf

The employer needs to know that K-1 is work authorized for the 90 days of the I-94, after that EAD card or green-card is required to work.

And FAQ:

5.5)...Is there any way I can make absolutely, positively sure that my fiance(e) will receive work authorization so that they can go to work and help to pay the bills right away?

A..No.
