St. Johns County, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Although it is confusing, a dependent spouse holding an E1 visa has no authorization to work through the status alone. As you know by now, an I-765 application must be submitted and approved for your wife to have employment permission. If your wife was working for a year last year, the earnings have undoubtedly already been reported on your tax returns, and there is nothing to be done at this time. To show compliance now, your wife should stop working until the EAD is approved.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
