I'm new here, and I don't know if this is allowed, so sorry if i'm doing something wrong. Any moderators can move this to the appropriate forum if this isn't correct.
So me and my fiance are planning on getting married this June, and she is currently here on a Visa although she has apparently overstayed, anyways.
She wants to start working immediately after the marriage, and it is currently unclear to us if she is able to able to do that. It is to our understanding, that couples apply for a green card a couple years after the actual marriage and then that starts the whole process.
However are the people that do this able to work in this period of time before the interviews and before they actually get their green card approved? We thought that she automatically gets a temporary "pass" that will allow her to start working now until we apply, but we're not sure. Or is she not allowed to work until we go through the whole application process with the interviews and such? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
