POE Employment Authoriszation stamp?

[kristen_maroc 126]

Anyone know if ATL is giving these out? Is there a form or a statement on a website somewhere I could have my fiance print out that explains why he would qualify for it?

Thanks!

He is NOT eligible to work even if he had this stamp. This stamp does NOT give permission to work. It is completely outdated and is not supposed to be given out any more because it confuses people into thinking they can legally work, when they can't.

You need to marry, then he files AOS together with EAD in order to get the work permit.

Yep to the above. He needs EAD to work.

That temporary work authorization loophole has been closed. Regardless of the stamp he would have to wait until receiving the EAD to be work authorized.

Ther is no such stamp. EAD is given by the USCIS when you submit the I-130 with the !-485 AOS form after marriage. The K-1 visa is work authorized in the eyes of the SSA so the K-1 visa holder may apply for a SSN, but only the USCIS can grant work authorization and that is why the SSC is stamped with "Authorized to work with DHS authorization only". Look at the CFR as it is very specific that only USCIS, not CBP or SSA can grant work authorization. So even if there was a stamp issued by CBP upon entry, it is still not valid as it is not the correct federal agency issuing the authorization. Sorry, but your fiance will have to wait until receiving the EAD or GC before able to work. If you doubt me, look at the document requirements for the I-9 that employers must fill out for new hires.

Good luck,

Dave

He is not authorized to work. Even if a stamp is given, a K-1 is not authorized to work. The stamp, that was at one time given out..and mistakenly still is, is useless and not worth the ink it is used to stamp!

Sorry, he'll have to marry, apply for AOS and wait for his EAD or green card

Good luck
