L2s authorized to work?
Hello
I am a L1 holder. Last week I entered the US with my wife. My wife's I94 notes her status as "L2S".
The status does not mention that she is the spouse of a L1 holder.
My question is - does my wife require an EAD to work?
Thank you

Your post appears to be self-contradictory and I find it confusing. Does her I-94 document indicate L2S or not?
