LKA

Sounds like a good plan. We had an informal gathering with a few local friends and a judge on a Sunday afternoon. My sister was so MAD that we told her and the rest not to come. It took all of 5 minutes to marry then some cake and coffee (and tea for me). Wasn’t worth the trip to see that and us having to deal with her for 2 weeks or however long she would have stayed with us. 😝  We just needed to get settled in and play host and hostess at a later time when we got a little more organized. I think we were still using flip phones back then so no FaceTime 😂 

Just want to update our status! Back in April/May we requested our K-1 get expedited as we filed 12/01/19. To our surprise it was approved to be expedited. Ove the NVC sent off our application, the process moved quit quickly! My fiancés Visa appointment was 08/24/21 at the London Embassy and approved! We haven't seen each other in 19 months and have been living with an ocean between us for 5 years! It's finally time for us to start our lives together!!

For sure
 
Here is my take: I did my first K1 back in 2007, this was a debated topic back then, pretty much everyone decided it was a gray area and you decide for yourself.
 
The way I see it, is probably the USCIS has no legal authority to tell a K1 or similar they can't work for a non US company so the USCIS words it the way it does.  On the surface it seems like you are not allowed to work at all, and then if you really start looking at it really doesn't say either way.  But I also realize that the lion share of people coming to the USA will eventually end up working for a US Based company.  That my 2 cents on the subject.

The caveat is that I don’t think USCIS has thought about modern world and the ability to telework. I’m pretty sure a lot of people do it without even thinking about it! 

I agree with you 100% there it doesn't say either way.
 
I don't see it as a risk, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.  And as I stated early when you asked for my references, I just use what I know about US immigration and make my opinion.  👍
 
Cheers 

I talked about Argentina because you talked about it what is allowed in another country vs the US, my point is that just because it’s fine in a foreign country it doesn’t mean it’s legal here. 
I am looking for resources that say that this is not allowed, and there is no agreement. USCIS doesn’t even mention that, and the rest are attorneys that claim that this is a gray area; so just like I couldn’t find any official sources that say it is NOT legal, I couldn’t find any saying openly it is. So it seems that  -at the end of the day- it all depends on the risk that the beneficiary wants to run. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it.

Lets stick with the USA.  Show me where USCIS say a person can't work for an non US Based company during the K1 process or after entering the country. 
 
I will wait.......

Just because a country doesn’t care, it doesn’t mean others won’t. Argentina does not require work authorization for immigrants; by your logic I shouldn’t have waited to get my EAD to start working.

Maybe because the work is being done from within the US...The US controls authorization for any work done from within its borders.  At the end of the day, it's a non-issue.  
-Lucky Cat out-

If working for a US employer or US based branch of his current company, he will need a work permit. If he works for a British employer, no need for work work permit. Think about it this way; why would you need a permit from UK to work in another country? Same logic. Zero correlation. 

From following the way immigration works in the USA
 
Just simple to figure out, since most people who immigrate to USA are going to be working for a US Based company you would need a work permit. If you are still working for a non us based company then you are not taking work from US workers.
 
Just like when I go to the Philippines for a few months, That country will actually arrest you for overstaying a visa, they have hotlines you can call or text and get a reward.  It fine and dandy for me to work over there since my company is based in the USA, they don't care.
 
 

There is always the opportunity to seek an expedite but they seem harder to get.

1.  Any authorization would expire after 90 days.......long before you would receive the EAD.....and there would be a wasted fee.
2.  ??????  
2a. Most people apply for an EAD (via an I-765) and Advance Parole document (via an I-131) concurrently when submitting the I-485 package for adjustment of status.  There is no fee if filed concurrently or after submitting the I-485 .   It can take as long as 10 months to get.  Once the Green Card is approved & issued, it replaces the EAD as authorization to work. 

Anyone know any members/threads who HAVE worked remotely in the US while waiting for the greencard? If someone does work remotely for a foreign company, is there any way for USCIS to know (I'm not debating ethics with this question, just asking if in some part of the process they can figure out that you did something you're not supposed to do).
 
After reading through some threads, I'm trying to straighten out my information. Is the following accurate:
1) It is possible to apply for an EAD (temporary work permit) while on the K1 visa, ie while being a fiance.
2) It is not possible to have an EAD after getting married (ie "nullifying" the K1 status) and waiting for the greencard.
2a) I thought a while ago I had read that when you apply for the greencard (let's say estimated 13 months to receive it, even though there is plenty of variability) you can also apply for an EAD, which could take about 5 months to get, but would allow you to work earlier than getting the greencard. Is this possible?

True. I was just pointing out that it is not an opinion. 

I believe the question is more focused on the Immigration aspect.
 

Right. I never really had to work for a remote employer, but it’s interesting to know. Also, I really doubt that my designated international advisor knew about this. Some international advisors don’t have any idea about rules and regulations, what’s allowed and what is not!

But that is an opinion and not from USCIS. That’s all we get every time we debate this topic.
