Dependent Visas for Spouses of H-1B, L-1, and F-1 Visa Holders
H-4 visa
The H-4 visa is available for spouses of H-1B visa holders. The H-4 visa does not allow the visa holder to work. The H-4 visa can be converted to an H-1B or F-1 but there are many obstacles such as onerous requirements of the H-1B and the high cost of education in the US. This results in many spouses who were working and successful in their country being stuck at home in the US.
The L-2 visa is available for spouses of L-1 visa holders. It is generally lawful for an L-2 visa holder to accept gainful employment.
F-2 visa
The F-2 visa is available for spouses of F-1 visa holders. The F-2 visa does not allow the visa holder to work but can be converted to an employment visa. The F-2 visa holder may engage in full or part time study.
