Hi Peter,

I’m on O1 visa. But my wife has O3 and doesn’t have a work permit. What’s the correct way to apply for a work permit? What visa should we change to? Thanks

The visas that allow spouses to apply for a work authorization are the E-1 and E-2, the E-3, and the L-1. Other than this, a spouse can get work authorization while in the green card process.
