Hi,

I am here on L2 VISA. I would like to take up the employment and have the following queries.


1. Do I have to get the EAD before the SSN.

2. Do I need an employer to get the EAD? Or I can file on my own?
I have already applied for EAD my own, but on that will I be eligible to work for any company.

3. What are the changes to get the EAD?

4. My L2 visa is valid for 3 yrs so will I get the EAD with the same validity (3 yrs) or it will be for a year, initially.

5.How many forms(like I-765) I need to fill to submit to get the EAD? I am confused with the term concurrent filing?

4. Which is better and faster, E-filing or submitting the form with all the documents?

5.If I go for E-Filing, how they will verify about my documents and how are they going to get Photograph,finger print etc.

Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks in advance.
