There's no tax issue here as I wouldn't be receiving payment during the wait time for my EAD after I'm married. The company isn't interested in hiring a US citizen. They want me to act as an agent/independent contractor for them in the US. They are trying to facilitate me here so I'm not sure what that has to to with the whole "taking a job away from a US citizen".

Also what if I apply for an EAD card as soon as I arrive on the K1 before the wedding and just apply for the EAD again after the wedding? I think the fist EAD expires either after I'm married or after K1 expiration date. Just some ideas, let me know what you think guys.

You can apply for an EAD when you arrive in the US but it's going to cost you money also it can take from 30 to 90 day's to get it, so by then your I-94 will have expired so you won't get any use from that one. The K1 visa expires as soon as you enter the US, it's the date on the I-94 that you have to go by.
