  1. Who can get the work permit? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Spouses of H-1B. The H-1B individual needs to have: (1) and Approved I-140 and (2) Maintain his or her H-1B status.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The H-4 person needs to also maintain his or her H-4 status<\/p>\n

    So this is not spouses for recent arrivals who just has H-1B and has not started the Green Card (Permanent Resident Card) process yet.\u00a0 Note L-2 can apply for work permit immediately upon entry into the US.<\/p>\n
