Use the actual status distinction rather than general statements that the family can work. Check each person’s relevant documentation and activities.
Preserve the spouse and child distinction
Qualifying L spouses are employment authorized incident to status with appropriate documentation. Dependent children do not gain work permission solely through L status. A simple explanation should retain that material difference.
Identify the applicant’s actual citizenship, current status and intended process for individual review. Describe whether the spouse will prepare, translate or deliver material and where the activity occurs. Not before an approved petition exists and the person is admitted in L-1B status. Do not treat the principal’s expected decision date as the spouse’s completed authorization. Define the proposed activity before calling it study, volunteering, or family help. Keep the child away from business duties unless an independent lawful basis permits them. Sequence the move so the spouse can apply for those permits after arrival rather than promising clients a start date. The common mistake is treating informal family assistance as outside immigration rules merely because it is occasional.
