As soon as
I came across this sentence in my exam:
I'll come to your house as soon as I____ through my job
a) get
b) have got
I chose a, but I think b is fine. How about you?

I am sorry, the right version is as soon as I ______ my work. So are there any differences in meaning between have got and get here?

the right version is as soon as I ______ my work.Are you sure? It seems that the word through is missing.
In any case, both of those answers are correct.

as soon as I get through with my work
as soon as I've got/gotten through with my work
No significant differences in meaning.
The first looks at it from the viewpoint of finally arriving at the point when the work is finished, looking forward.
The second looks at it from the viewpoint of being just past the point when the work is finished, looking back on that
