Am i correct in thinking the following:

1) On a K1 fiance visa i may immediately apply for and be given a social security number?

2) I am free to work for the 90 days of the visa.

3) After the 90 days is over i am not ok to work until i get a work permit?

This is all so unclear, if anyone could help it would be great! Any of the process would be good to know too!

Thanks

Hi Topharry123,

You really need to read the K-1 guide on this site FIRST. It will show you the entire process and answer many of your questions. There are examples of everything, even a flowchard showing yo uthe steps in the process. Are you the Beneficiary or the US Citizen?

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;page=guides

1) Only the USC may apply. Receiving a K1 Visa does not get you a SS#. After marriage, some folk before, the beneficiary must apply for the SS card. It is not just given because the beneficiary arrived.

2) The beneficiary is not free to work until they receive an EAD or Green Card. The USC can do what they want.

3) The 90 days is the number of days that you have to get married after the beneficiary sets foot in the US. The K-1 Visa is good for 6 months, but after you arrive here, you have 90 days to marry. Until you are married, the Green Card or EAD is not an option for you.

If you enter through JFK airport then you can request a work stamp which will allow you to work for the 90 days but I think that is the only airport that does this.

I have seen it advised that you wait 2 weeks before applying for the SSN as it takes that long for you to get into the system.

17th March 2010 - Started the removal of conditions process

22nd March 2010 - Application received by CSC

30th April 2010 - Biometrics appointment
