Reg: Getting EAD while being on LWP from Indian company

[anamika123]

Hi

I am going to US on L2 visa (husband is working in US on L1). Am working in a IT MNC in India and will take LWP while going to US on L2. My question is:

1. Can I work in US on a L2 visa after getting my EAD, while being on LWP from my company in India?
2. Is it legal to work on L2 visa after getting EAD, while being on LWP from my company? Will I have a problem getting EAD since I am employed with my company in India, but on leave.

Pls advise.

Thanks
Anamika

You can certainly work in the US using EAD as far as US laws are concerned.
Your Indian employer may object to you taking up another assignment while on leave.
