F1 to L2 conversion

[harishp2012]

I am on L1A visa and my wife is on F1 OPT. I want to convert her to L2 with EAD. How difficult/complex is this process? Can we do this change of status application on our own or do we need an immigration attorney for this?

How long does it usually take for the change of status to happen?...

Notice I-797A about i-129 (L1 extension) approval was dated 5 days earlier than the actual date of case approval on the site of USCIS.
Due to this error, we re-entered the US based on still valid visa without I-797A notice because even though the notice was issued, on arrival day we saw only status...

Hi - looks like most of us in the US on L2 visa are now filing extensions via Form I-539, which requires biometrics and takes (what feels like) forever. My current L2 and EAD is expiring early March. My husband's L1 extension was approved within about 2 weeks (with premium processing). From what I read,...
