Cases

As part of the fight for H-4 and L-2 employment authorization Wasden Law filed suit alleging USCIS violated the statute by not giving L-2s employment authorization “incident to status.” Wasden Law also argued that USCIS was violating their own regulation regarding automatic EAD extensions as it relates to H-4s. USCIS realized it was in the wrong and settled the case in record time. As a result, L-2s and E-2s no longer have to apply for EADs. H-4s are eligible for auto extension of their EAD for up to 180 days in certain situations.
