E2 and Spouse
Quick one (i'm sure), but can the spouse of an E2 visa holder work for the E2 visa holder's company (subject to obtaining an EAD)?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Once they have their EAD they can work for anyone who'll employ them, which would exclude certain government jobs that require the applicant to be a USC or a Permanent Resident.

Excellent question. I've seen it debated both ways on whether the spouse needs an EAD in the first place to work for the company.

Absolutely, I should have said basically "can't sponsor anyone for anything "! Apart from hiring for an E2 manager's position.

Re: E2 and Spouse
Perhaps English isn't your first language, but in the first post - you were the spouse, and now you speak of yourself as though you're someone else. There is no basis for your husband's company to petition you for a GC, so it'd be a waste of money to even try.
From where I sit, you write like londonboy450. It's strange because he has parents who are both on an E2 and his mom also has an EAD... and he desperately wants a GC. That's a staggering coincidence!
He even asked a very similar question: "Both parents on E2 Visa. Mother has EAD, Can my father apply for GC on my mother's belief as she works for his company and on payroll and how long will it take to approve" and, similar to you, he doesn't write English very well either!

Re: E2 and Spouse
People on E-1 or E-2 visas can and do get green cards, for example through a family connection, or an EB-5, or the spouse with an EAD gets their own visa under an H-1A/B, and their employer later sponsors them. But there is no basis in an E-1 or E-2 visa to be sponsored for a green card.
