The first question I have is are my fiance' and I able to file for a temporary work permit for him prior to his entering the US and us being married? This question somewhat times into the second question which is, if he cannot do the previous, is he able to file for the work permit once in the US and before the AOS is filed?

How will he go about getting a driver's license? I read somewhere he cannot get a driver's license until he has the AOS completed. Is this true?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Before you can apply for a driver's licnce, you have to have social security card. And to be eligable to work, he must either wait or get a work visa. So, I think he's pretty much stuck with waiting. OR you guys get married first and he can work and get a licence right after he gets his green card, which would take 9-12 months from now on.

He will enter the USA and 2 weeks later apply for his SSN card at the SS office.

He will get married to you and then you both will file for AOS and an EAD card.

Once the EAD card arrives he can start working. Not before.

He is able to file for EAD as soon as he gets in the US and it will cost $380.00 and takes about 60-90 days to process. It is a complete waste of money because it expires

the same time as the I-94 which is good for 90 days from date of port of entry. So, once he receives the EAD it will be only good for less than 30 days approximately.

Best thing to do is get married as soon as he arrives, then get SSN, then file for AOS & EAD at the same time because the fee for EAD is waived if submitted w/ AOS.
