Hi,

My fiance finally made it here, he arrived on Friday, we applied for his social security number on Monday. He flew through JFK and received at JFK a 1-94, I want to know what we have to do in order for him to have the correct papers to work. Is there anything additional I need to file??

Please Advise,

Kristen

Note:


Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)


Welcome to the USA!!!

Unless he also got a temporary EAD stamp, you'll need to marry then apply for adjustment of status and EAD.  See the "GUIDES".



If he got the temporary EAD stamp at JFK, he's authorized to work for 90 days only.  Good luck getting somebody to hire him.  You might during the holiday season for a temporary job.

He found a job, I am looking at his passport right now.. What does the temporary stamp look like?  I see the stamp on the I-94.  On the I-94 it says Department of Homeland Security - Customs Admitted on Nov 21 - K1... Is there something more??



The I-94 would also have the work authorization stamp as well if they gave it, with an expiration date of on or about February 19, 2009.

I've never seen the stamp but if you're right, there would be two stamped expiration dates on the I-94.  Chances are, if he didn't specifically ask for it, he didn't get it.

IT IS NOT OBVIOUS.



The stamp is a red, smudged little thing, just one line, with a date. Really small, really hard to read.

He found a job, I am looking at his passport right now.. What does the temporary stamp look like?  I see the stamp on the I-94.  On the I-94 it says Department of Homeland Security - Customs Admitted on Nov 21 - K1... Is there something more??



The I-94 would also have the work authorization stamp as well if they gave it, with an expiration date of on or about February 19, 2009.









I've never seen the stamp but if you're right, there would be two stamped expiration dates on the I-94.  Chances are, if he didn't specifically ask for it, he didn't get it.









My wife received it (don't remember the exact nomenclature) but it is obvious if you get it..









IT IS NOT OBVIOUS.



The stamp is a red, smudged little thing, just one line, with a date. Really small, really hard to read.









My apologies...  to me it WAS

My husband came in July. He got it automatically. They didn't have him say anything actually. They didn't even ask him questions oddly. But it was on the back of the I-94 and it is a red stamp that says he is authorized to work and a date is written in ink on the red line. Hope that description helps you.
