The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has published a flyer detailing changes to employment authorization for L-2, E, and H-4 dependent spouses.
Highlights are as follows:
- L-2 and E dependent spouses are no longer required to apply for an employment authorization document (EAD) to work in the United States.
- Certain L-2 and E dependent spouses who choose to apply for an EAD as proof of work authorization are eligible for automatic extensions of EADs for up to 180 days.
- Certain H-4 dependent spouses are eligible for automatic extensions of EADs for up to 180 days.
