- pattamonnu 10y agoH4 dependents can only work after the primaries's green card process reached certain stage which may take few years. But with L1, spouse can start work from day 1
- topkeker 10y agoIncorrect, the dependent has a 3 month waiting period.
- pattamonnu 10y agoyou mean they become eligible only after 3 months?
- inerte 10y agoAlso the L2 holder has to apply for an EAD, which takes 4-6 months.
- topkeker 10y agoYes, as the other comment says. They become eligible to apply for EAD only after 3 months. You then need to wait for the EAD, which processing time varies depending on location. Once EAD is issued, they can work.
- geodel 10y agoMany of them but not all. H4 EAD is for spouses of 1140 approved or 6+ years on H1 and green card process started.
- pattamonnu 10y agoThat's right H4 EAD is a benefit of green card process and not just the H1b itself. However, L2 EAD is purely based on L1 and has no bearing on the GC process.
