Work Permit (EAD) for L2 Holders

[Sushma_Patil]

Hi,

I am an Oracle DBA working at a reputed company in Bangalore INDIA.
I am planning to come to USA in a month on L2 visa (Dependent of L1 holder). My husband holds L1 and works in USA.

My questions are as follows :

1. Am I eligible to apply for EAD and there for work in USA ?
2. If yes, Can I work in any company where I get job ?
3. Can I get something (some reference or letter) related to my eligibility from USCIS or their website which is counted as authentic as of day?
4. I may get a project in the same company(where I am now in India) office in USA if I get my EAD after coming USA. Is this possible or allowed with respect to USCIS laws?

Please reply as soon as possible. I need to provide information to my company to expedite the process.

Regards,

Sushma

1. Am I eligible to apply for EAD and there for work in USA ?

--Yes ofcourse, L2 is Dependant visa and doesn't care about what you do presently.

2. If yes, Can I work in any company where I get job ?

-- Yes, in any company, provided company agrees that your status is depends upon L1. If L1 is leaving country then you have to leave too.

3. Can I get something (some reference or letter) related to my eligibility from USCIS or their website which is counted as authentic as of day?

-- Not sure what is that. Upon your arrival in USA, you will have to apply for an EAD(takes 90 days), You can work only after approval of an EAD.

4. I may get a project in the same company(where I am now in India) office in USA if I get my EAD after coming USA. Is this possible or allowed with respect to USCIS laws?

-- There is no problem working with any company and any kind of job.
