No. Qualifying E spouses may be employment-authorized incident to status with appropriate evidence; children do not gain employment permission solely through dependent status.
Review both the staffing plan and individual records
A purchase forecast cannot grant family authorization. Describe genuine roles without assuming every accompanying relative can perform them.
Dependent eligibility rests on a legally married spouse and unmarried children under 21; living together or sharing finances does not substitute for the legal relationship. The dependent's ability to work lasts only while the principal holds valid status, so a job offer for the spouse is tied to the enterprise continuing to operate and to the investor maintaining the classification. The review should list each relative’s passport, relationship record, age, intended activity and timing, then compare those facts with the available derivative process. Children may enrol in school and may not take paid work, including in the family business, which surprises families in service industries where teenagers would otherwise help at weekends. Keep the spouse's position separate from the child's too: authorization to work attaches to the spouse's own valid status and documentation, not to the household, and an employer will ask to see the record establishing it before adding anyone to a payroll.
