More on Employment Authorization for E and L Spouses
The Vermont Service Center has indicated that they will accept the following
work authorization applications in connection with the law recently signed
by President Bush allowing work authorization for the spouses of E-1, E-2
and L-1 nonimmigrants:
- L-1 spouses within its jurisdiction.
- E-1 and E-2 spouses within its jurisdiction. These applications must
be filed independent of the principal E-1 and E-2 applications.
The Texas Service Center will process the applications for those individuals
under the jurisdiction of the Vermont Service Center who file the E-1 and
E-2 principal applications at the same time as the work authorizations for
the spouse.
While the Vermont Service Center has indicated its individual policy
on this issue, the INS headquarters has not yet confirmed this information.
