Whether your spouse can continue to work under a receipt for filing a new application for employment authorization depends upon whether the application was submitted prior to the expiration of his former EAD and whether the application was in the same category for which he was previously approved. Under his political asylum application, the legend on the employment authorization card was (C) (8). If the new application was timely filed under the same (C) (8) category, he would be authorized for employment while awaiting a decision by U.S.C.I.S. On the other hand, if he applied for a new EAD under the legend for adjustment of status, (C) (9), he would not be authorized for work during the pendency of the application even if timely filed. He would have to wait until U.S.C.I.S. made a decision on the application.

USCIS systems are not perfect and many times have incorrect information. If you were already interviewed, the information is in your file and in the mind of the officer who conducted the interview. That is more important than what is on the online system.

In order to qualify for a fiance visa you have to have met in person within the last two years of applying for the visa.  The processing times are 6-9 months.  Since there is an age difference, there will be questions regarding the genuisness of the relationship.  I advise you to hire an immigration attorney that you trust to handle the process for you; otherwise it could very complicated. Good luck.
