  • 2S work authorization(Eligibility) during waiting for extension of stay

    My wife I94 is valid until 10/1/2022
    Admission Class: L2S
    Extension filed I539 (I797) for the same category L2 category on 6-28-22
    Is she legally eligible to continue her job post 10/1/22 while waiting for her extension approval
    Current processing time as per USCIC website approx. 10 months

    No.

    If she has an unexpired L2 visa, and your L1 is extended, another option is for her to leave the US and re-enter, thereby immediately going into L2 status, and immediately being able to work.

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
