No. Review each intended worker’s actual authorization.
Keep financial projections and status separate
Qualifying E spouses may be employment-authorized incident to status with appropriate documentation. Children do not obtain employment permission solely through dependent status; a forecast is not authorization.
A spouse's outside job offer may help household planning, but it does not establish the investor's treaty nationality, committed capital, control or the enterprise's non-marginality. A spouse admitted alongside an E-2 investor is employment-authorised because of that status and may work for any employer, which often becomes an important part of the household's income. A legally married spouse may accompany the principal, along with unmarried children under 21, but each family member has an individual process and no shared guaranteed date. A spouse’s proposed job should be assessed in light of valid work-authorizing status and practical job availability, not assumed solely because the principal applied for E-2. Each family member is also assessed on their own activity, so a spouse intending to start a separate business needs their own analysis rather than an extension of the principal’s. Plan the business opening around actual work authorization, and keep the household’s travel arrangements flexible enough to accommodate different outcomes or dates.
