Confucious say...

that the process for US immigration on a K-1 (or fiancé) visa is somewhat confusing!

To work over there once I've arrived in theory needs the EAD (Employment Authorisation Document - work permit), but it appears that this is so that a US employer can complete the I-9 employment status verification form.  It doesn't mention if I can telecommute back to my overseas employer.

Gin contacted the US immigration people (USCIS) and the agent there said that I could, and people on message boards say that USCIS 'forgives' work for people adjusting their status from the K-1 visa to Legal Permanent Resident. 

Confused.com!

Mental note not to look at visa and emigration stuff late at night though - it gets my brain buzzing and then I can't get to sleep for ages!
