My lawyer is quite competent. They got me this far. My question to them was if I could get my SSN.  As a result of this they discovered that K1 visa holders can work. However only for the 90 day duration.

Hi! Thanks for the response. I think you are right. I do however disagree that we need to apply for approval, as we would apply for is “evidence of work authorization “. We are authorized to work As per the SS website and the USCIS website itself, just DHS needs to issue us a card to confirm this. 
 
Overall it’s not worth the effort as it could take a while for them to issue the card And at that stage the 90 days are almost up. 

Hi everyone.
What I am stating here is that technically the K1 visa entitles you to work according to both the SS website and USCIS. However you still have to apply to DHS to get them to issue you a card that states this fact. You don’t need them to approve it, the visa itself entitles you to work. Applying for the card only requests them to confirm this .  This process takes longer than the 90 days that the visa is valid for. So this is not really worth the time. 
 
Thanks for all your responses.

A K-1 holder is a 'legal alien allowed to work' for the SSA's purposes, because you are technically allowed to apply for employment authorization in the 90 days. However, since it actually takes longer than 90 days to process an employment authorization these days, in practice you can't work on the K-1.
 
You get a work authorization you can actually use in the adjustment of status process, when you can apply for employment authorization for free, and if you get your green card before EAD, that works too.
