No. Review each accompanying person’s eligibility, applicable process, status and planned activities.
Check individual status documentation
Qualifying L spouses are employment authorized incident to status with appropriate evidence; children do not gain work permission solely through L dependent status. A corporate approval is not the family’s status record or work authorization.
A pending principal petition does not grant the spouse L status or work permission. Unmarried children under twenty-one may accompany the transferee in dependent status and may attend school, but they may not work. Payment is not the only concern; productive services for the company can remain employment even when described as family help or training. The family relationship should not be used to obscure who performed the work claimed as evidence of the principal’s specialized knowledge. Employers unfamiliar with the incident-to-status rule can be shown the published policy guidance; this is a documentation conversation, not a legal obstacle. Beginning in the month of the birthday leaves none, and the consequences fall on a young person in the middle of a school year in a country where the family has just arrived. Obtain the correct classification and keep suitable status evidence before starting any productive services in practice.
