Validity of spouse L2 Visa

[sowmya1234]

Hello,

Am a L2 Visa holder, with a valid I-94 till Jan 2010. I have a EAD and am currently working in US.

My question is, incase, if my husband looses his current project and leaves to India, what will happen to my case?

Will my EAD expire?

Should i also leave the country?

or can i continue working here till my I-94 validity period?

Please advice.

Thanks much

L2 status is valid only as long as L1 maintains his status. If he loses the job, you should no longer work as L1 won't be in a legal status.

And that I-94 validity is based on Your L1’s status
The Law is clear. Even if you work on EAD, your status is L2

AFAIK, when the L1 loses status, the L2 status is gone and the work permit cannot be used any more.

I would suggest you to consult an attorney if you are too confused about this. Please update us what you find.

This is true as long as L1 is working and maintaining valid status.
It would be illegal if you continue working on L2 which could cause problems in future.
