work permit stamped on passport at POE JFK

[Mimi and Zozo 0]

My husband's passport was stamped on the back of his I-94 with a red stamp stating "work authorization" that expires after 3 months. Is this valid along with his social security card that states "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH HOMELAND SECURITY AUTHORIZATION"? Are the officers at the POE considered HLS, and doesn't that stamp have some validity? It must...

JFK is the last POE to do this for K-1, it is done primarily to make it easier to get a SSN.

Note, per form I-9 in order to be considered work authorized to work the EAD now needs to be a PHOTO EAD card.

Apply for EAD when adjusting status by filing an I-765 along with I-485.

Yeah, this topic is ALL over the forums. The EAD that they stamp at the airport DOES NOT allow you to work anymore.

Huge bummer for all of us.

At least it helps you getting a SSN.

I got my SSN about 1 week after my entry and it arrived 1 week later.... ^^ Always good to get it now, there's no fee..
