Hi,
I arrived last july in US on a L1 A visa (Blanket petition) valid for 1 year, but got I-94 for 3 years. My wife applied for EAD under L2 visa and got it till November 2007. She is presently working. Now we are planning to go to India on a vacation in feb. While I am in India, I will re-apply for an L1 visa and come back. My questions are
1. If I come back on L1 A visa agin, does my wife's EAD stay valid, or does she have to apply for a new EAD again?
2. If only I go, and my wife stays in US, and I come back with a new L1 visa, does my wife's EAD remain valid?
Basically the question is whether the EAD is tied to the visa type, or the specific visa number.
Any help in this regard would be most appreciated.
Regards
Manish
