Hey while I'm thinking about it what do any of you know about the success rate of getting a work permit stamp in the passport upon entry on a K1? I've not read much about that on here. Do any of you know if anyone has asked and gotten it or asked and not gotten it (or even asked)?

JFK should definitely give her a temp EAD. This thread might be of help as to whether others will or not. :thumbs:

Thanks very much... I'll be going through with her (unless they toss me into the USC Lane) and we'll be going through SFO so I guess all we can do is ask.

I just realised that in 14 days there will be a whole new 'July Filers' thread here in the K1 forum! I can't believe it's been almost a year. :wow:

Maybe we should request that this has 2007 in the title from Ewok to prevent any confusion :lol:

Said my last goodbye ever to Jeremy last night - he's been in the air almost 2 1/2 hours...

11 hours til I get to pick him up from the bus station and I am SO excited... beats being nervous about the move :unsure:
