Sent faxed copy Aug 1, called USCIS spoke to tier 2 officer not able to give me any update no help Aug 14, emailed congressman Aug 9 received email back from them saying they will send a request to USCIS. 
 
Received email today "Card is in production for AP, and EAD. 
I only sent in job offer and cover letter explaining that I will be an asset to the company no additional financial information.
 
MORAL OF THE STORY!! Patience is bliss!! looking at others reviews it will take about a month for the EAD expedition to be approved no way to make it go fast so just wait and stop looking at the website every 30 min it will dive you nuts.

Based of the uscis website you are a legal alien allowed to work. A K1 visa authorizes you to get a 90 days ead (although you’ll get it probably after the 90 days. But on the social security card there is no reason they should send you a temp one that unauthorized to work. 
 
Dont work until you get your ead or your green card but their is no reason to not select authorized to work on the form since a K1 is authorized to work (with your ead or ead stamp at entry)

No miracle is going to happen. A K1 is "legal alien allowed to work" and will receive a card stamped on the front VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION. You can keep that card and show the authorizarion that goes with it (EAD card or green card) or go back when you get the greencard to update you status with them and they will send you a card without the extra words. Most places do not have to see your card. They just have a place to fill in your number.Memorize it.  The DMV is the only place I have ever shown the card. Not required by banks, insurance, employer, credit card applications --in my experience.

Thank you!! After reading through these forms 1000 times a persons almost goes dumb to simple questions! 

i had in interview in Montreal May 22, my appointment time was 7:30 i got there at 6:55 (4 people ahead of me also), everything above is exactly as it is quick easy.
I was out of the interview and back at my hotel by 8:30. I check on the Ceac site at 11:00am and it said Administrative Processing. I received an email May 23 at 11:00 am that my pass port was ready to ship. I got an update from Canada post via email that it was being picked up yesterday afternoon, check this morning it says I will be able to pick it up today.
 
Interview May 22 pick up passport at Calgary post office May 24 I couldn't find anywhere any good info about priority shipment so i just decided to save the $20 and pick it up and I'm thinking that might of been just as fast if not faster to just pick up the passport.

You almost done! Then we get to wait the 8-12 months for the adjustment of status haha. 

Interview went great, if your in a real relationship don’t even spend a minute stressing about this process quick and easy: tell me about how you met, when you started dating, plans for your wedding, left my hotel room at the travel lodge at 6:55 back at my hotel at 8:30, my interview was at 7:30 but they didn’t start letting people into the building until 8:00. 
 
The CO I asked said that they need all original forms signed by petitioner (NOT COPYS).  So I suggest getting original I-134, intent to marry etc. 

I’m in Montreal my interview is tomorrow morning at 7:30 I’ll ask directly about he signature tomorrow when I’m there.

I didn’t get the packet 3 till 3 weeks after in the mail. When I noticed I was in “ready status” I submitted my completed packet 3 to the Montreal email and got a generic email stating it will be 8 weeks to hear back 2 days later I sent in the packet 3 again at 11:00am and I received the packet 4 email at 12:20 the same day. 
 
From the packet 4 email you can click a link and go onto the website and set up your interview and pay your visa fee $265 (I think),  then you can set up your medical once you have a interview date. I got my packet 4 April 24 and was able to get an interview May 22. 

I have a dui so I had to get the finger prints. I believe if your a normal guy you can go to your local rcmp or police satiation and request a criminal record check and it’s only $25 usually the places that do the finger printing charge closer to $75. If I was you I would just got to the cop shop and have them do it. If you don’t have a record you’ll get your results fast if you do it still might only take 2-3 weeks. 

Just got done my medical for my K1 in Surrey BC, I flew form Calgary to Van 6:30am flight rented a car and was back at the airport by 1:00. Renting a car probably wasn’t the best option since it was $100 to rent a car I’m sure a cab might of been cheaper. 
 
Really easy going doctor happy and helpful with questions. 
 
I had a DUI in 2008 and he just asked for a drivers abstract (3 year) and police record  asked if I only had one dui said it wasn’t a big deal and moved on with the remaining questions needed for his form. 
 
$340 for medical, $35 for them to courier it to Calgary said I will have it by Friday afternoon.
