    Default F1 Opt Holder Getting Married - Employment Options

    Hi,

    I have been looking at different threads and not found exactly what I was looking for so I'm posting this in hopes that someone can help.

    I am currently an F1 holder. I just graduated with my master's in June and have an OPT which will expire in February. I can't find a job (within my social science major) and now the little money I have is running out.

    My boyfriend (a US citizen) and I are thinking about getting married (earlier than planned) so that I can stay in the country but what I REALLY need is a job. Therefore, I wanted to ask - how long after we get married and file all the necessary applications will I be able to start working legally. I figure, if I have an employment authorization I will be able to get a job (OPT is too restrictive).

    Thanks!
