Location:Nanjing / Seattle
Interests:Have been living and working in Nanjing, China since August 2006. In November 2006, I found out that another American (from my hometown) took a University teaching job in a town 2 hours away from Nanjing by train, so we made arrangements to meet up. He came to Nanjing to visit me and he brought three of his students with him.<br /><br />My girl was one of his students that went to Nanjing with him. I met her that weekend and it was love at first sight. The rest is history, and we got engaged on the Great Wall of China on September 24, 2007.<br /><br />Living in China and being able to spend almost all our time together has been a blessing. The more I read the discussions on CFL, the more I realize the magnitude of this blessing. Staying in China has crossed my mind, but I can't live my whole life as a foreigner. Her coming to the U.S. is something she was unsure of to begin with, but she warmed to the idea and now she's ecstatic about the idea.<br /><br />Here we come, Guangzhou Consulate!

Once we're in the USA, can she work (after entry on a K-1 visa and after marriage)?

If not, how long does it take until she's able to work? What does she need?

Need to get the EAD. If she files for AOS, then she would get it. It takes about 2 months to EAD.
