Here is what I did when I had applied for my wife’s EAD –

1.       Apply for SSN

2.       Apply for the EAD using the I-765 form. Refer to link below

Hope this helps

L2 visa holders can apply their EAD application in two ways 1. E-Filing 2. Sending the application and other required doc thru post.

As per my earlier enquiry with others, option 2 is best.

Thanks

Hi.. I had just posed a question on similar lines today..

Does she have SSN? If not she can apply for one.. I-94, passports and marriage certificate required.

Apply EAD (paper based or e-filing) by paying $340.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=d502194d3e88d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

there are links on this page on how to apply

In my case (2 yrs back), I applied for EAD first and then SSN (they would not issue SSN until one had EAD). I believe they now issue SSN w/o EAD. You may want to check with SSA office. Also check if SSN alone(without EAD)  is enough for working in USA since on their website I read this info..I need to validate this.

Refer to section C (read details) https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203500!opendocument

You can file the EAD for L2 online form https://efiling.uscis.dhs.gov/efile/InteractionMgr?interactionmgr.interaction=SetupEforms&timestamp=1217280570606

Create the user account and can find the more info there.

All that you need to go to http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

You can find the details of how to apply for Employment Authorization.

After you apply online you need to send required documents to immigration office.

They will later send a appointment for biometrics(finer prints).

Once all this process is completed they will send you EAD.
