Spousal Work Authorization for L and E visa holders

The Senate recently passed legislation which would extend work authorization to the spouses of L and E visa holders. The legislation also reduces the amount of time an individual has to have worked for a related foreign entity in order to qualify for L status from one year to six months. The legislation had been passed earlier by the House and is expected to be signed by the President after the New Year.
