Starting November 12, 2021, USCIS announced an important update that L-2 and E-dependent spouses are no longer required to apply for an employment authorization document (EAD) to work in the United States. If L-2 and E dependents want to apply for an EAD as proof of work authorization, they are entitled to have automatic extensions of EADs for up to 180 days. Additionally, certain H-4 dependent spouses are eligible for automatic EAD extension for up to 180 days.
