    Switch from E2 to L2 Visum, what happens with work authorization
    Hi,
    I'm currently an E2 visa holder. I'm eligible to work through my work authorization card and am employed with a software company.

    Now my husband's contract will change and we will receive a L visum. With my L2 visum I can apply for a new work authorization card.

    My question is - what will happen in the timeframe until I receive my new L2 work authorization card, which usually takes 2-3 months?
    Am I still allowed to work under my old card until I receive the new card?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    The old card expires automatically on the date your status changed. You would need to submit I-765 for new work permit as L2 not E2. Your Social Security number would be the same.
