Re: EAD for a Child on L2 visa who is Studying
There are factors other than tuition that should be considered.
An F-1 would lose the benefit of dual intent enjoyed by an L-2. The F-1 is required to be maintain an unrelinquished foreign residence they have no intention of abandoning but an L-2 isn't. There are also differences in what is needed for travel if an adjustment of status is pending.

Something you should have known from the get go on moving here and reason to get greencards on the go as soon as possible. If you've got a date x for when the company will do it, they're under no obligation to do it sooner and really it would be detrimental for them to bother if they can tie you to a visa for as long as possible.

Then why worry about the L2 and work? It won't make any difference to him as he's not eligible to work.

Then he does another major, goes to uni in the UK, do the internship at the end of the study rather than as a sandwich at which point depending on if you're L1a or b, you'd have your greencards.

I'm not sure if the US has something such as this...my daughter went to uni in Canada....part of the course was to work as an intern for 3 months in the final year. As it was part of the course she applied and got a student work permit to allow her to work as an intern.
