Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have been I-94 forms with new designations for L-2 and E visa dependents since January 31, 2022. The new designations for L-2 and E dependent spouses specifically have been serving as evidence that holders are authorized to be employed based on their nonimmigrant status. USCIS is now issuing I-797 approval notices for L-2 and E-2 spouses that specifically state the notice may be used to document work authorization and for completion of Form I-9.
