Hi all,

Currently, I have L1 visa and I-94 will be expired 2015. I don't know with L1 visa and I-94 like this, can I apply EAD?

How many percent and how long do I got approval? Which document do I need to provide when applying?

Thank you very much.

Hi, My name is Soma and I am a developer.

Because I want to change to another company and some of them only accept EAD, H1B, etc ... (DON'T accept L1 visa) so I ask this question. Can I apply EAD when I am working in L1 status? I think we can, is it correct?

Additionally, my wife is L2 visa and she applied EAD successfully.

Hi Soma,

If you have a L-1 Visa you cannot get an additional work authorization because you dont need to: a valid L-1 is by itself an authorization to work for your petitioner (only for you petitioner).

Please note that you cannot transfer a L-1 visa but you can petition for a Change of Status from L-1 to H-1b if you find a company willing to sponsor you.

Best regards,

Florian
