Review the spouse’s actual status evidence. Qualifying L spouses may be employment-authorized incident to status with appropriate documentation; an EAD is not universally required.
Separate benefits from permission
Dependent children do not gain employment permission solely through L status. The provider’s benefits package does not determine the family’s legal authorization.
A child who is nineteen at the move will be twenty-one before a five-year assignment ends, and on that birthday dependant status ends regardless of school enrolment or family circumstances. Review the child’s age and intended activities separately, and avoid treating a small payment or family connection as an exemption. List each family member’s relationship, age, passport, prior status and intended activity separately from the company’s technical narrative. Children may enrol at any level of school but may not work, and their status ends at 21 or on marriage, at which point a student classification or another route in their own right is needed. The admission record and dependent rules settle immigration classification, while school admission and licensing authorities settle separate local requirements.
