Work Authorization for Dependent Children of E-2 Visa Holders in the US
A common question among E-2 visa holders pertains to the work authorization for their dependent children in the United States. Let’s explore the regulations surrounding this aspect:
As per U.S. E-2 visa guidelines, dependent children below the age of 21 can reside in the country and attend public or private schools under the E-2 visa status. However, their E-2 dependent status does not grant them the authorization to work in the United States.
To pursue employment opportunities, the dependent child must obtain a different visa type that permits work. For instance, acquiring a student visa might render them eligible for on-campus employment or other work options allowed under that specific visa category. It’s essential to note that changing visa categories can be challenging and may potentially affect the E-2 status of the dependent.
Upon turning 21, the dependent child will lose their E-2 status and must apply for an alternative visa category, get married to pursue the path of permanent residency, or leave the country.
Please bear in mind that immigration regulations and policies are subject to change over time.
