so even if i have SSN i cant work? Cause ive been there 3 times on a work visa :/

You will probably get a SSC that says "Not valid without work permit" (or something similar)

Once you get the work permit (EAD/Greencard) - then you can use it. (once you get the greencard - you can get a new SSC that doesn't state the above).

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

When entering on a K-1, you can't work till you get an EAD, even if you have a SSN. All depends on how fast you get married and apply for AOS. It probably will take at least 4 month after entry on K-1.

Work visa and entry on K1 for marriage different rules. Once you are K1, get a social if you do not have one. Upon marriage and application for AOS, also apply for EAD and AP, see the guides.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.
